I still see a lot, probably the majority, of Clone fans thinking ISU has little or no hope of beating Iowa unless the Clones play an super good game.
I just don't get it. Yes, ISU has it's issues, but Iowa was very, very, very lucky to beat UNI on their home field. Now suddenly we are to believe that UNI is USC in different colors. UNI is good, for their division, but there is no way that the number 20 team in the country should need to block 2 FG attempts at the end of a game to hold on. It isn't like Iowa had 5 turnovers more than UNI, they were just plain outplayed for most of the game. UNI was using their 3rd string running back and he did some real damage. If ARob isn't better than the UNI 3rd string RB, then there is something very wrong with the ISU program.
The bottom line is the Hawks are just not that good. Stanzi has to ability to play horrible for long stretches of games. Their defense, while being good, is not as amazing as the media would like us to think.
