This was probably always going to be a loss, but the concerning thing is

[WeBeHerkin]

We ran and got to 2nd and 2 yards and then we pass twice and punt.

We did for most of the first half. It was 10-7 when we GAVE them the score on the TO . We held them to THREE points (other then the fumble) until the last minute of the first half. Then the late score hurt. The D had played pretty well up to that point. They just have too many weapons to contain them for 4Q's, unless you're Texas or someone like that, and the injuries to the DB's in the 2nd half didn't help.

Iowa let them march down the field just before the end of the first half. It looked like an OSU scrimmage.

At this point I would put Michigan in the playoffs before Iowa. Iowa injuries plus that horrendous showing yesterday

If OSU would have just passed it to number 3 and number 4 every play on offense they would have won by 50 points at least.

That's not quite true. Gilmore our WR only had 6 less receptions and 60 less receiving yards than Iowa's whole team today. We have a stable of WR we can run out there at any given time. Freshman RB Rule looks like he's that dude. Can't wait to get him back next week. The TE Lindenmeyer is a solid all around player and the OLine is vastly improved after removing Uncle Donny as coach. There's a lot of talent on both sides of the ball for Nebraska, by far our most talented team in awhile. Now we just need to cut down on the penalties, 16 is not gonna cut it moving forward. We might be the most penalized team in the B1G right now. That's not gonna win you many ball games against the majority of these B1G teams.

I thought Iowa's D looked good for the most part, especially being out there for almost 40 minutes. OSU almost doubled the time of possession. Your guy's defense will win you a lot of B1G games this year. Good luck the rest of the way.

Once again, you’re basing all of this off playing absolutely nobody the first five weeks. Come back in a month and let’s see where you’re at. Talent has never been the issue in Lincoln.

You seem to be contradicting yourself a little bit. You said we have nobody outside of Colandrea, but then say talent has never been an issue? Which one is it?

Granted we haven't really played anyone, but we have taken care of business. We've won all our games by 17 points (3 scores) or more. This next week will see where this team truly stands. The past tells us this is a blow out loss, but if they cut down on the penalties, I think we find ourselves in this game.

Which I already said in the post you quoted.

Ohio State was the better team, an intelligent fan knew that going into the game. To win Iowa had to make 0 mistakes and every player to have a good game and stay healthy. That didn't happen. Yesterday's game was disappointing but not at all surprising.
