Social media reactions from Michigan’s 27-13 win against Iowa
Oct 1, 2022 - 7:48 PMAs college football nears the midway point of the 2022 regular season, the Twitter-verse is also getting into midseason form. While the Michigan Wolverines’ game against Iowa saw more than a few white knuckles in the late stages, there was a generally positive attitude through most of the game.
Here are the most noteworthy social media reactions from Saturday:
You can either own the superstitions, or let the superstitions own you:
Michigan players were wearing pink towels ahead of the opening kickoff. Perhaps the Wolverines' latest effort to lean into their opponents' home traditions (Iowa has a pink locker room).

In contrast, opening judgements of the Iowa offense were...low, to say the least:
Well. They do cheer for the punter.

If Iowa had, idk, not Spencer Petras, their offense might actually have something

When you think about it, what’s a flag really:
Refs in the Michigan-Iowa game throwing more flags on non-penalties than on penalties is odd let’s say

How do you do, fellow kids?
I need a TikTok explainer like I need stadium MC telling me how to spell M-I-C-H-I-G-A-N

A quintessential end to the first half for Iowa:
Running a fake kneel down just to get 7 meaningless yards, in a scrum, as the half expires, down 13-0, makes an argument for being peak Hawkeyes offensepic.twitter.com/oU8r2DIRWf

He’s just getting started:
Mason Graham is going to be a good one.

Mason Graham is a FRESHMAN

Things started to get tense late in the game:
... Michigan shouldn't taunt the ghosts of Kinnick like that ...

Keep everything in front of you and get the heck out of this place is the recipe now

A gutsy performance from edge Eyabi Okie when it counted the most garnered praise, but also drew questions:

Petras is the worst QB in the country under pressure and we waited until 2 minutes left to dial up pressure. Better late than never I guess

Ultimately, a win is a win:
Not all wins are pretty but they all count the same.

The perfect Michigan game: victory, but opportunities to be mad.
