WATCH: Iowa’s A.J. Epenesa might’ve had the most incredible two-minute sequence of the season

Iowa obliterated Illinois in a 63-0 shutout Saturday while star DE A.J. Epenesa provided one of the more incredible stretches of the season.
Epenesa has already had a monster season for the Hawkeyes. The sophomore has 33 total tackles with 13.5 TFL and 8.5 sacks. He has forced three fumbles with two passes defended, but his most impressive moments came against the Illini.
In an incredible two-minute run, Epenesa forced a fumble, recovered that fumble for a touchdown, recorded a sack, and blocked a punt. Accomplishing each of those feats would make for a good season for some players. Epenesa pulled them all off in less than one quarter of game time.
BTN shared the video of the improbable performance:
