There isn't a single phase of this game that Iowa hasn't dominated.
(aside from maybe FG accuracy and the NIU punter has done a ton more work than his Iowa counterpart)

Man, I just wish we had made some headway with the pass game. Looks same old same old today, despite Diaz being a dude.
Probably the worst team that's came into Kinnick in decades.......... but it is still fun to watch!
2s, 3s & 4s in on D now?
NIU all of a sudden looking a bit sporty

This passing game ain’t gonna cut it in the B1G.
Been a lot of drops - you convert a couple of those and the passing game has looked great
is it just me or was the catching part a bit scary...he seemed to have positioned himself poorly to begin this adventure
I'm actually really encouraged today even though NIU has not been good.
We've just been reading things well. There's little to no hesitation on when to attack. And we have been blanketing everything they've tried to do today, at least while the game was still being taken seriously.
The pass rush is a concern imo. And still not sold on either QB against better competition.
Maintain our streak and get it out of the way in game 1.
McNeil hasn't looked good - too indecisive
Yeah I haven't been overly impressed with either guy's deep ball. But with Iowa it's never something to be overly worried about because well.............
Always a QB away..........
Yep, looks like it. We're checked out and Kirk just wants to end this.
excellent punt. possibly the best play by us in the 4th quarter.
I see both sides.
Want to fully determine the starting QB going forth.
But at the same time, you got a huge lead vs a horrible team. Sit your starters and heavy playing time guys to avoid injuries in meaningless game situations.
This is a TERRIBLE NIU team.
The offense is underwhelming.

People have to be biased AF to think Hank looks worse than Heck. Hanks miscues have been barely off. Heck just looks so unpolished. Sure he is flashy with the feet which I get you people drool over but man the offense has run smoother with Hank.
you think this translates to next week? or are we in for a ***-clenching ride to a last minute defeat ?
Kirk running it up to 40 is like most coaches running it up to 70.
Yeah, I'm old enough to have seen more bumbling, unathletic teams come into Kinnick Stadium (and I'm a man, I'm only 40)...........but comparatively speaking, this NIU team by 2026 standards is pretty goddam bad.
No way he can be RB2. They need to light a fire in somebody else’s *** in that running back room.
Kinda where I’m at. Remember when Cade threw 4 TD and 250 yards ???
What concerns me is the over reliance on one guy and accuracy issues. There really wasn’t much pressure on the QBs either
If this is the real Iowa we're seeing today, I have no doubt they should be able to handle ISU next week.
But ISU will be coming in with nothing to lose and as always its their Super Bowl. They'd love nothing more than to be the reason Iowa misses out on the CFP or best possible bowl in late December/early January.
Can't afford a hiccup next week.

Yes given NIU is awful.... But the dline has looked so much better today than I was expecting
I dont like the drops today
