Not making excuses for Sears, but it was a rough first inning. Just was reading that as storms rolled through Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa , 2 separate tornado’s ripped through his hometown. Maybe his focus was a little off? It was on social media that an Iowa fan was saying, let’s get in Sears’ head by asking him about the tornados. Wouldn’t expect anything less from that fanbase.
I am sure it probably didn’t factor into the game much, but who knows?
