He got 'Mossed': Iowa's Riley Moss records pair of pick-sixes in impressive half vs. IU
The Hoosiers thought they had a great team coming into Iowa City to face the No. 18 Iowa Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes so far have had different plans trying to spoil Indiana’s first AP Top-25 ranking since 1969.
Riley Moss for the Hawkeyes has picked off Hoosiers QB Michael Penix Jr. twice, and both times Moss has taken it back to the house.
Michael Penix just threw his 2nd pick six🥴
