Iowa 38, Michigan 28: Your comprehensive guide to Saturday's coverage

And, for the second straight week, a field goal attempt was blocked to boot.

In the end, 522 yards of total offense against an Iowa defense that was allowing an average of 242.2 -- fourth best in the country -- wasn't enough. Michigan limps into its bye week with two straight losses.

AnnArbor.com had it covered from pregame homecoming revelry to post-game press conferences. Here's a comprehensive guide to everything you'll find on our site:

Post-Game Coverage

• Scoring summary and boxscore.

• Ridiculous. Inexcusable. And ridiculous again. No, Rich Rodriguez wasn't a happy man in his post-game press conference. As Pete Bigelow writes in his main game story, "instead of polishing the problems that contributed to last week’s loss against the Spartans, Michigan’s errors multiplied against Iowa."

• The Iowa offense executed to near perfection and converted in the fourth quarter, when it mattered most.

• Tate Forcier showed moxie in his relief role Saturday, but Denard Robinson -- "our starting quarterback," Rodriguez confirmed -- should be OK.

• Michigan safety Jordan Kovacs, a former walk-on, has turned into one of the Wolverines' most dependable run-stoppers.

• Iowa receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos leads the pack in Bigelow's game balls.

• In our notebook, we have stories about Michigan's field goal kicking woes, Taylor Lewan's interesting day and much more.

• Campus police arrest four and cite six at Michigan Stadium.
