It was a game so bad that the playing surface rebelled.
With a little over five minutes left in Saturday's game between Iowa and Northwestern at Wrigley Field, the Hawkeyes maintained a 7-0 lead. One of the least anticipated offensive matchups in college football history had lived down to the hype, with both teams barely cracking 100 yards for the afternoon.
However, things went from bad to worse when the game was delayed by a turf issue.
