Too bad this promotion was limited to the Big Ten championship game. Their last TD was a 1st quarter Deacon Hill rush against Nebby the day after Thanksgiving.

24. Payton commented that if he was still the Vols QB could have beaten Iowa by himself.
There was a similar stat about halfway through the season. Iowa’s D is good, not debating that, but I don’t think it’s the elite level of D many think it is. Competent offenses (think a top 50 offense) seem to move the ball/score vs Iowa. They faced 1 top 50 offense during the regular season.
It happened to Rutgers in 2016 and 2017 by about 225 and 350 yards, respectively.
Missouri by about 100 yards in 2015. Wake by 1000 yards in 2014. KU by 100 yards in 2013.
So it is fairly common for abominable P5 offenses over the past ten years. But only Wake Forest ever had a year like that one.

Did Tennessee play today. Oh darn, I missed it.I didn't even know that there was a game on right now.
Neither knows what to do with a football.
For as much people want to say if Iowa had a top 100 offense they would be scary good, they really need to realize teams run playbooks as simple as Iowa's when they play. Teams are more worried about accidentally giving Iowa points on turnovers than they are giving the ball to their offense. So all they actually play against is run run run play action run.
Let me guess, still complaining it wasn’t a fair catch?
I think I got a headache trying to comprehend what he was trying to get across. Very confusing to say the least.
They would have one more win. They weren’t competitive in their losses other than MN. Just imagine how many yards PSU or Tenn would’ve put up had they actually had to score and had some more possessions.
Kirk is getting old and defensive of his legacy. Now he’s resentful that Brian was fired and of the way it was handled. Things could get ugly honestly. Or not because it’s Iowa and they always seem to stick around mediocrity.
Outscored 0-92 against 3 ranked teams. Not sure that defense is 'elite'
Condensed, condescending version— ‘I’ve been doing this for 25 years and we’ve won, so don’t question what I’m doing.’
The Go Iowa Awesome game thread is classic!! I think it was like page 7 when he threw the end zone pick. First six pages were about boasting. It got ugly after that.
