Marvin McNutt understands how the "show goes on". He scored 3 touchdowns to single handledly own the TD record at Iowa!! The Highway of the Saints has seen a lot of the McNutt family the last few years. Anita and husband Marvin, their other children, and assorted other relatives and friends, have enjoyed driving up from their St. Louis home to watch the Hawkeyes' Marvin do a lot of big things as a wide receiver. But Saturday was something else. McNutt had his first three-touchdown game. He had a personal-best 184 receiving yards, 30.7 per catch And, he broke the Iowa record for career TD catches with No. 22, an 80-yarder that was followed by No. 23 and No. 24 before the first-half was done. Spend five minutes around McNutt's parents, and you feel the love, the pride, and not much tolerance for failing to work hard or stay modest. "I had two drops," McNutt said after the game. "I didn't have a complete game." That, more than owning a school record, is what he'll remember this in the short term. "There are things I did that will be good on the film," he said, "and there will be things I need to clean up." In other words, McNutt won't be taking out any ads today advertising himself as Iowa's new all-time leader in touchdown catches. After Anita told me how proud she was of her son, I asked her how she and her husband got young Marvin to stay grounded. "I beat him," she said. That gave the family around her a good laugh. "You know I'm going to write that," I told her. "You know I don't care," she shot back.
