For me the bloom is off the rose for Lester. He's an upgrade from Brian as anyone would be but the only significant improvement I really see is the offensive line and slightly more creative run game.

Some of you have such little faith. Yes, the game hasn’t gone how we expected thus far, but it’s only been one half. The boys will be ready in the 2nd half.
Unfortunately, it has gone how many of us expected. Right now the MSU coach is making his guys believe they can march down the field and score to start the 2nd half. And i really don't see why they can't.

I think he is ok but has little wide receiver talent to work with

If the OL/DL come out pissed off and dominate the second half, we win.

If it is decided by skill players, we likely lose.

Never enjoyed when DS kicks that freebee deep ball on a timeout. Set yourself up for the ultimate jinx.

I 100% believe Iowa wins this game. MSU is awful. That doesn’t change the fact that this is terrible football.

i would not mind overall incompetence if we would make the 2-3 plays that matter
no shame in winning 10-6 or 14-13. problem is we make none of the key plays

Hawkeye fans deserve so much better than this. I'm sorry to all the fans out there that have to endure this garbage.

Unless Iowa cracks off a few big runs I’m struggling to see them win this. MSU is moving the ball enough to put together two scoring drives.

In all fairness, the QB is one of the worst in P4 and he's throwing to below average receivers. There isn't an OC in the country that can make this passing game functional given the players involved.
