That's so Iowa

I think in the past we played down to them. Hoping to buck that trend
Agree. I also think total ineptness on our part. Teams would just hang around and wait for us to shoot ourselves in the foot and we have. I hope we continue to buck that trend!
This is the guy they cheated to get, correct?Cade, after the 1st Quarter: 5-18 (28%), 27 Yards, 2 INTs
When’s the last time we entered the game with a better W/L record? Pelini days?
They play us the same way they play everyone; pray to wear you down with the run and limit big plays, hoping for a turnover.
Dynamic QB and athletic advantage makes them look like total dogshit
Cade, like Iowa as a program, seems to have that "fake it till you make it vibe" going on. Look at Cade run around in a circle so exited to through a pick.This is the guy they cheated to get, correct?
Harbaugh always makes QBs look much better than they are. Hilarious that he’s just another 1940s throwback for IowaThis is the guy they cheated to get, correct?
I believe we have an exceptionally smart, talented, dynamic QB finally. I hope we beat them convincingly in Iowa City!
If he’s still upright, it’ll be Cade. Ferentz is somewhere between stubborn and phobic when it comes to benching a starting Qb. When they went 4-8 in 2012 and their starting quarterback was trash, they were the only team in D1 whose backup quarterback didn’t take a single snap all season long. I remember learning that little tidbit while sitting in their frozen stands for our 13-7 win that year and lmao; that was the year they hired Greg Davis and thought his Texas moxie would lead them to the next level.
The only way I could see them making a change (barring injury) is if their new AD pulls rank on Ferentz.
Iowa will probably be just fine, play us super tough, and go to a bowl game. They are remarkably consistent.
How it's possible that Iowa not only found a worse QB than the guy they had last year, but helped that guy get an NIL deal, is amazing.Cade, after the 1st Quarter: 5-18 (28%), 27 Yards, 2 INTs
I guess, though, that we did the same with Sims.
They have a easy schedule but I bet they don't win more than 8 games this year.
At this point it’s too hard to determine if anyone has a tougher B1G schedule over another team..
This is so true.
However with all of the close losses we've suffered at their/our hands it was good to see the same hand delt to them yesterday.
When you design your plan to live on the edge literally every week (unless it’s a ranked team) then you are eventually going to have some bounces not go your way. Last year was an anomaly in winning with that poor of an offense.
Depending on a blocked punt or an interception return for a TD to always get you a win is a poor plan. If you can’t line up and be successful on offense it’s highly unlikely you’ll do well. Though as you pointed out last year they did. It won’t happen year after year. Their fans know it and it’s why they want Kirk fired
They also seem to draw kind B1G conference schedules. UDub and tOSU are the marquee games for the Iowegians. Also, the Badgers and of course, NU. With the loss to Condiment State, they are looking at an 8-4 season.
"Play solid defense and punt until the other team blows their own foot off"
Seems to be a strategy that will win a solid 8 games every year, and a championship of any kind every 400 years or so, (give or take a few).
