I think CMC "gets" this rivalry. Coming from Ohio, he certainly understands the intensity of college football in the Midwest.
My take on that game during this mini losing streak is simple: September Cyclone Syndrome (SCS).
We've shot ourselves in the foot in these most recent losses, making critical/dumb mistakes early and in crunch time.
Credit Iowa for taking full advantage of our blunders. But I think we get the W this year in IC.
Love CMC but it’s part of a larger issue we have with a lack of kill mentality. When you play conservative too much or lack the desire to extend leads, you’re playing with fire too much.
Just because he’s done great things doesn’t mean he’s above some fair criticism.
