Shut it down. We might have the most absurd play of Week 11 -- or of the 2016 college football season. And it involved Iowa.
That doesn't make much sense.
It also involved Iowa faking a punt.
That doesn't make much sense, either.
The fateful play came in the first quarter of the Hawkeyes' game against Michigan when punter Ron Coluzzi appeared to see a look in the Wolverines' punt return unit that prompted him to tuck and run. The read itself wasn't terrible, but the outcome most definitely was.
I could try to explain it to you, but some things are better left seen. So here it is:

This thing is worth another look, so here it is again:
Compounding the absurdity of it all was the fact that Michigan was flagged for targeting the punter -- for making helmet-to-helmet contact while he somersaulted through the air.
What kind of country are we living in if Iowa can't even execute something related to a punt?
