Iowa and Iowa State met last night and participated in the annual tradition of putting on the most consistently terrible rivalry game in college football. Last night’s edition of the clash truly lived up to its El Assico nickname, in no small part because of how Iowa State managed to finally lose it.

There was still plenty of time left on the clock for Iowa State to put together a game-winning drive, but on their very next possession they turned it over on downs at the Iowa 39-yard line.

That’s not what you’re supposed to do!
