Good. Christmas came before thanksgiving this year. I hope we hang 50 on those turds.
I wish we could. They always play lights out against us. If we continue our offensive prowess and get a Big 10 defense someday then....someday we will.

LULZ, they have no way of knowing that and he has very little to gain by doing it. But Inrespect the meltdown non the less.

Well, they’ve caught us during our downhill slope. We were vulnerable during latter years of Bo and we played like clowns the last 3 years under Mr.Rodgers. We’re a different team this year. Will need our Defense to not crap the bed in order to win.

On the Iowa board they are saying this was his last game & he is going to do what Nick Bosa did and save him self for the draft.
They have a interview about the lack of his time on the field on their site now.

I havn't exactly been following Iowa. Is he hurt or something? Packing it in with 3 games left seems abit much.

I was reading some posts over there because of all of the Big Ten teams, Iowa has the most active free board. I wish Nebraska fans or people pretending to be Nebraska fans would avoid posting garbage in their threads. Anyhow, the consensus seems to be that Ferentz put Fant in the doghouse due to something Fant's brother posted on Twitter. Most of the fans are taking Fant's side, but some are saying that Fant has been loafing and is a flake. I don't know enough to have an opinion but I found it interesting. If there is dysfunction in Iowa City I hope it keeps up through Black Friday, because while I don't think Iowa is a rival, there are a lot of Hawkeye fans in the area and I'd rather not hear from them.

True. The key word there is Illinois. One could argue Illinois left another 14 points out there - maybe more. Those muffed punts they committed were atrocious, but, Illinois.

That is a part of the game. We could be sitting with one loss if not for all of our mistakes..

Right - a lot of teams could be 9-1 & 10-0. Illinois still generated 35 points with mostly a running attack. A running attack that should be much easier to shut down on a bitter cold & windy day.

WOW, we're really in your head! How does it feel to be the second best team in Iowa. Life must really suck for you with Nebrask on the way back, ISU on the rise, and Iowa's inability to fire a mediocre coach. The little brother envy is growing deep within you.

How many points did Northwestern leave on the field? I watched the end of the game and seen a few.

There running was most successful because of AJ Bush 187 yards..Iowa doesn’t have a AJ Bush behind it’s center...But yes Nebraska will have to try and stop Iowa rushing game that ave less than 155 yards a game..

Iowa doesn't care about ISU - they won with defense that day.

Save the trash talk. Analyzing the matchup is more fun to see how it compares to gameday.

Interested to see how UNL does against MSU because that could be a close indicator of how it might go against Iowa. Getting MSU after that battle with OSU works in the huskers favor I think.

Id be more worried about the fact that their savior.. Brian Ferentz or his mediocre dad couldnt gameplan against a NW defense that was mising 3 out of 4 starting in the secondary yesterday!! I cant wait to play these guys.. the io a fan talking trash on here about how NU should be able to stop ill??? They have much bigger problems if you ask me

I say that because we don’t have the option of removing our mistakes and predicting the outcome based on the removal of one teams mistakes. Every game played has an outcome that was decided by the things that took place in the game. We certainly weren’t without our own sets of mistakes in that game.

As far as their running attack goes I think it’s fair to say that we were gashed by a DT QB. Bush deserves some credit, he was their difference maker on offense. Kid deserves his credit.
