Credit due to minnesota

every post i have seen here bemoans the outrageous number of goof ups by iowa but i have to also admit that the gophers played inspired and intense football for all 60 minutes. they reminded me of isu. i have to think this had something to do with taking us out of our comfort zone. This is the first time fleck has beaten iowa in my book that deserves acknowledgment from iowa.

They played Iowa-like let the the team make mistakes

F Minnesota and their D bag coach. The similarity lies in we played a **** game like we always do against ISU, I’ll give you that.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

I would normally agree with this but Iowa F'd up so bad today that it's almost impossible to do

Let's see ...

1. Blocked punt inside 20
2. Fumbled punt return to basically set up a game winning FG
3. Hank fumble
4. RB fumble but luckily recovered
5. Interception inside 5 by Heck
6. A WR ricochet interception off VDZ gloves
7. Offsides to give them a TD
8. Missing at least 2 wide open WRs for TDs
9. Hank interception right before half
10. Running on 2nd and 10 into a stacked box every ******* time

Did I miss anything? And we still could have won it...

They beat us at our game.
We had too many mistakes to win today.

Credit what, exactly? They're a terrible team. Couldn't do anything offensively, save for one play. Iowa handed them the ball time and time again and they still couldn't score. They simply just made less mistakes. They played Kirk ball circa 2023 and won. It's a **** way to play the game. I wouldn't credit them with anything.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

LOL Minnesota did next to nothing offensively and beat us.

Credit to them for what? Playing like crap and scraping out a win b/c the other team was even more awful?

Except a win. Everything you said was accurate and just missed that Kirk got out coached. Nothing more nothing less

Sounds like alot of Iowas wins over the last 5 years

 

[Fight4Iowa]

They matched our physicality. So did Iowa State. And from the looks of it, so will Wisconsin and Northwestern.

They definitely Iowa'd, Iowa today.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

Oh Hell No!

Iowa was tossing their running backs around like Kirk's chewing gum wrappers but played the stupidest game I can ever recall.

If you wanna say we got out Iowa-ed ... probably, but that's still just saying we effed up big-time.

Was it the coaches fault that we had a punt blocked and 5 turnovers counting James fumble on the punt return, when we could have refused the gophs penalty and had the ball around the 30 yd line. Plus 2 false starts by our veteran tackle and a defensive off sides on 4TH down when we stopped them. These are players execution not being out coached. We should have won that game around 20-3 minimum if we play even close to a clean game.

They definitely Iowa'd, Iowa today.

They had under 200 yards of offense until that 3rd down throw.
