We’re in Week 5 of the college football season and conference play is truly here.
Well, it is for six of the seven games featuring Big Ten teams. The outlier?
Iowa. Iowa is hosting Middle Tennessee for its final non-conference game of the season (the Hawkeyes hosted Rutgers in Week 2). Against Middle Tennessee, Iowa scored an opening drive touchdown thanks to a four-yard Mekhi Sargent run.
Prior to the run, however, Iowa WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette took a reverse and completely juked a defender. It left the defender on the ground:
How good was the Ihmir Smith-Marsette (@_ihmirr_) juke?

The play itself moved the chains for Iowa, which was cool enough. But to see the defender drop like that?
That’s the cherry on top.
The game can be seen on ESPN2.
