"Our level of communication up front, with me, the backs. Everything just being on the same page because we know these guys are going to come — a lot," McNamara said before bursting out in laughter. "I’d appreciate it if none of you posted a video of that."

It was too late for that. The clip scoured social media.

"We have to be on key with our hots, we have to be on key with our protection," he said before laughing again. "Damn it. I was not expecting that."

Iowa topped Iowa State to win the Cy-Hawk Trophy, 20-13. McNamara was 12-of-22 with an interception. Hawkeyes running back Jaziun Patterson ran for 86 yards on 10 carries and had a touchdown.

"We get to watch guys improve during the course of a year and during practice. He’s done that," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "Hopefully he’s got a lot of good football in front of him right now."

McNamara praised Patterson’s ability to pick up blocks as well.

  Bettie Page left an indelible mark on popular culture -- first as an in-demand model and later as a symbol or template of the mid-century American good girl/vixen -- yet saw little to no compensation or credit for it during her lifetime. The Bettie Page look, even just her trademark bangs, came to denote an edginess with fetish overtones, reflecting the free and subversive career of a '50s model who posed not only in swimsuits, but nude and in bondage settings as well.

In famous photo sessions with Bunny Yeager, the appeal of Bettie Page found its clearest expression. Wearing leopard-print swimsuits and eyeing the camera hungrily...

(Photo by MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images) The massive container ship that smashed into a high-traffic bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, this morning has previously collided with infrastructure while docking, according to reports.
