all i know is that in the second half iowa's defense will get shredded by many long drives and game will come down to whether iowa's offense can score any points at all in the 4th quarter
iu probably has its worst qb (before anyone points out, yes i'm sure he's better than what we have) under cignetti and barely got past nw. ne has a top b1g qb and has destroyed everybody so far. game in linclon. i have a feeling we might see a few new cignetti facial expressions
i might watch if...
i completely agree that this isn’t about tearing one guy down at all. get the most out of both guys. it’s a team sport after all and when you don’t have the greatest individual talent this approach could be the next best thing
the b1g west games were/are all gems -- it has become fashionable to pooh pooh wi, mn, ne, il, nw but games against these teams provide great football that is far more meaningful.
I don't mean split time equally but if QB1 falters 2 drives in a row send in QB2 and coach-up/reset QB1 on the sidelines while QB2 operates. If the backup does well, let him continue to shine until he falters.

i have no scientific proof but our players look lethargic and a step slow in the second half when on the west coast. thinking of asu, az, ucla, usc games when i say that. and unfortunately it’s both offense and defense.
definitely hope you are correct and i get humiliated :-) by end of the season.
the best outcome going forward is to somehow eke out a win against wa and then use the next 2-weeks to rise like phoenix from ashes. but i am not sure what kf can do to prevent the team be zombies in the 2nd half...
