IOWA CITY - After a game littered with penalties, miscues and confusion, it was only fitting that Saturday's game ended with a mistake.
Kahlil Hill, Iowa's kick returner extraordinaire, fielded a punt on the five yard line and, while trying to break the big play, was tackled by a swarm of Michigan defenders in the end zone for a safety, securing Michigan's 12-9 victory over Iowa (1-1 Big Ten, 2-3 overall).

IOWA CITY - Anybody wanna return punts? Better yet, does anyone have some Super Glue?
The final, fitting exclamation point to Saturday's nonstop comedy of errors came on a boneheaded safety, of all things, sealing a 12-9 Michigan victory and putting an end to one of the most laughable games in recent memory. Comedy of errors somehow leaves Blue in Big Ten race

IOWA CITY - The best offensive play every other team can run against Michigan is - without question - the punt. The punt is even more effective against the Wolverines than the option is.
