Iowa is struggling mightily in the first half against Tennessee in the TaxSlayer Bowl and freshman Jonathan Parker may have found a way to sum up those struggles in one play.
After the Hawkeyes fell behind 28-0, Parker caught the ensuing kickoff in the corner. As he realized his momentum would take him out of bounds at the three-yard line, he inexplicably tossed the ball forward back onto the field of play.
You can’t do that, Jonathan.
Originally it was ruled that his foot was down before he threw the ball, but a replay showed that he did get rid of the ball before landing out of bounds. Parker was flagged for an illegal forward pass, which pushed the Hawkeyes back half the distance to the goal.
Ultimately it didn’t make much of a difference in the game, but it was undoubtedly one of the sillier moments of the entire season.
