Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Make it 12 for 12 as Iowa's Shonn Greene has now rushed for over 100 yards in every single one of the Hawkeyes' games this season. Greene's night was over with more than 11 minutes to play after Iowa went up 55-0, which was how the game ended up. He finished with 144 yards on 22 carries and scored two touchdowns. Greene unofficially finishes with 1,727 yards for the season. That may not be enough to give him the rushing crown, since Connecticut's Donald Brown has more games to play. Nonetheless, it's quite an accomplishment for a guy who was delivering furniture at this time last year. Greene now owns Iowa's all-time season rushing record as well.This was the final home game ever for Minnesota in the Metrodome. If the Gophers and their fans had any mixed emotions about leaving their home for the past quarter century, this game should help them get those feelings sorted out. The Gophers were dominated by Iowa in every phase of the game except kick returning. Minnesota's Tony Stoudermire returned nine Iowa kickoffs for 285 yards, which is quite impressive until you realize what it means that your return guy ran back nine kickoffs.
With Graham Harrell going down in flames tonight, a few second and third place Heisman votes may now drift Greene's way, and the Hawkeyes head into the post-season 8-4 with a metric boatload of momentum. Iowa could still wind up in a New Year's Day bowl game, but they will probably need Oregon to beat Oregon State to make that happen.
As for Minnesota, their 7-1 start was just a point they passed on the way to 7-5. They'll still wind up in a bowl game, and there's no taking away from Tim Brewster's incredible turnaround, but Minnesota still has a lot of work to do to get over the seven-win hump that got Glen Mason fired.
Speaking of fired, you can officially take Kirk Ferentz off the hot seat now, as if there was any doubt. After a string of three consecutive losses in the middle of the season, Iowa has been playing over the moon. A bowl victory would be a nice way to end a season that once was lost but now is found.
