For as much as I do love YoutubeTV and the multiview, not being able to select each box is heartbreaking
Now that Troy has been softened up by these runs, Iowa can unleash the deep ball.
So, lot of speculation that Kirk wants to quit. Tired, Brain gone, hates transfer portal, losing so won't hit his 60% career win, last year with trash schedule.
But he isn't going to walk away from 4 more years and ~$20M or whatever. Is he TRYING to get fired so he can collect his buyout? Is Kirk going Manchurian candidate on his own program?

I think maybe Iowa's secondary finally isn't that great, just average. We probably didn't pick on them enough. I highly doubt they're going to average 7-10 points a game from corner and safety scoring this year.
I think it's more just that their luck has finally run out. Iowa has been a blessed program. When your offense isn't good and you aren't getting 7+ points/game from special teams and defensive scores, tough to win in a major conference.
The points on turnovers thing was part being good, but some % of it surely was luck. On special teams I'll give it to them. You just never can COUNT on scoring from defense yet they did for years.
I was just about to post this! We threw a bunch of quick hitters because we were worried about their pass rush, but I don't think their d-line is where it has been at either. I wish we would have trust our pass-pro a little more and let our receivers run longer routes, because I think those would have been there
I would take our defensive backs and safeties over theirs comfortably. Both teams lost high talent NFL guys, I think we filled in better.
