Really sucks bc this was a really really good team. Just some unlucky bounces that led to end of game collapses.

2 years ago we might be 8-4 but the wins would have been tighter and the losses would have been blowouts.
They would’ve looked like Michigan Big Ten Title games or @OSU. Defense would keep Iowa in game down a score or so(we already knew the game was over regardless) and then the dam would break in the 2nd half and end up 30-0 type games.

BF was such a miserable OC. Iowa would have been so much better just using "ask madden" every play.

Chuck Long said that missing spring ball hurt things and I think he is right.

Plus, Mark wasn't full strength until July, IIRC.

I really hope we can (1) keep Tim Lester around; and (2) build on this.

This offense is fun & creative; the defense doesn't know what's coming.

For example:

Unfortunately BF was so bad when we score 25+ it's a big surprise. 40, people can't believe it. We are not the laughing stock anymore but people are still surprised by our scores. That's how much of a stink BF left.
We usually needed a pick six, scoop and score or both.
