2011 Iowa wasn't very good either.
That was two 6-6 teams playing a really fun game, but it was two 6-6 teams.
I'm hoping ISU can make some gains or we're looking at something like the 2005 or 2012 seasons that left a lot out there.

It’s not that tough, but that’s not how we win. 6 straight games with more turnovers than the opponent. Only 3 times in the last 17 games have we won the turnover battle (and 1 of those was a loss). Average special teams.
Better team lost tonight. It sucks but we move on. Played so much better than we did against Purple Iowa which is a great sign for the rest of the season. Kept AJ in check pretty much all game and essentially made him a non-factor other than a few QB hurries, which was very impressive. **** Iowa. We’ll get ‘em next year.
The spread was Iowa by 1.5 and they won by 1. We technically won...
Big XII championship game was never in the cards for this team, I dunno where people come up with that.
I did. You can see the play from two camera angles, and they show both during replays. As I stated earlier, it wasn’t a hold. Their DE falls down after a chip block from our TE. Unfortunately #74 goes down with him, making it appear like a hold.
Edit: after re-watching, it wasn't a TE. It was #66 coming over from the RG position to help out. He shoves the DE down. Definitely wasn't a hold.

You lost me on the bolded.
ISU for depth, overall talent etc. is better than I've seen it but if it's not utilized correctly it doesn't matter.
At 14-6 it was time to put it on Iowa and instead ISU ****ed around until it was too late, and then continued to at the end.
About the only silver lining to all this is we checked off another box in most ISU ways to lose a game.
I thought ISU lost it in all phases.
Really? You see this team in the championship game challenging OU? Plenty of talk about that pre-season. What are you seeing that others are not? Would love to be wrong, however making a bowl game seems a realistic goal at this point.
It was because we returned a lot of our defense and ignored the fact we lost two of our 3 best offensive players. Turns out it's really damn hard to replace people like Butler and Monty! Honestly we were always closer to 7-5 or 8-4 than 10-2 like some thought. Thats still not bad given what our record usually is
Left to drive home after the phantom holding call, knowing it was likely over. Coming home to pop on the DVR and see 2 idiots collide with each other on the punt was the icing on the cake. Hilarious. This team could not have made anymore f*ckups in the last 8 minutes of a game
I see our starting QB isn't going to be dismissed in a cloud of smoke right before we go to Norman. This team has just as good of chance as the one two years ago. We already have the defense for it, and actually I'm encouraged by the play of the offensive line. That is one of the best D lines Iowa has had in some time, and they handled it fairly well. Anything is possible with this team if they clean up the little things.
