In 99% of the other programs in the country you could at least take solace that a game like this, near the end of a season of let downs, would get the AD in motion to make a change. I get giving a guy like Kirk a lot of grace to go out on his terms... but I also think that's what the program has been doing the last several years. It's simply time to act Beth.

Folks need to stop with this. It is a $27 million buyout. Kirk ferentz will be your head coach next year.

That may have been the play that decides the game. We needed to score on this drive.

The defense is top ten in every category this year. They've held every opponent they’ve faced under their season averages this year. I acknowledge that you and others who can't get that through your thick skulls as the dumbest fans I've ever seen.
And you can't get thru your thick skull THAT NONE OF THAT MATTERS IN THIS GAME. Iowa is getting torched by the pass. That is a FACT.

And no, the defense doesn't bear the brunt of the blame. And I never said they did. All I have said is the pass defense this game has been terrible.

One thing we don't do with our RBs this year is find ways to get them free to the edges/outside tackle.

Why they could do it with Kaleb Johnson who was a one-cut back with a weaker OL last year, and can't do that with a "veteran" OL this year is truly dumbfounding......

This will be MSU's marquee win of the season. Just like last year, we were their best win.
