Well now we have a streak going of four quarters without allowing a TD against Iowa. Let's keep that going next year!
Cy Bookie event - who will average more points per game, the Hawkeye football team or the baseball team?
He has a nagging injury. Won't need to play next week and then we have a bye week so should be good to go in 3 weeks I would think
We've all heard the saying, "Offense should buy the defensive players a steak dinner."
Offense owns the D an entire steer.

Holy crap guys! A win is a win. Who cares if it was ugly.
We took the opening kick off and drove it righht down the field for a TD.
Our defense played awesome all game. There were effing spectacular in the red zone.
Our offense did enough to allow Kirby to pin the hawks inside their own 20 on 5 out of 6 punts. That is huge for the defense and Iowa had a lot of trouble when they had to go down the whole field.
The redzone turnovers sucked but Iowas defense has always been stout in the redzone and mistakes can be corrected in both play and playcalling.
Steele looked really good for most of the game. There were other situations where he could have forced it and he didn't which is progress.
Iowas defense stepped the eff up, especially in the second half. They shut down the run and forced Steele to pass which was tough.
Overall I am really proud of ISU in this game. There were a TON of opportunities for them to blow it. Iowa's MO for years has been to hang around all game and win it in the end. ISU (Jake Knott in particular) didn't let that happen.
Not every win is going to be an offensive clinic. Sometimes you have to win ugly but all that matters is they won.

We have to add the QB lining up under center and running the ball up the middle. It takes away the chance of a negative play. If you don't lose yardage, the odds of scoring from the 2 go way up.
I don't think we really need to add it. Without putting another element on our players, we can just run a quick hitting QB power out of the gun with simple man-on-man blocking. We have a 225 lb QB that can stick it in the end zone. It's really the slow-developing blocking schemes that are more of the problem rather than the gun/under center deal.
Man, watching the game on BTN was torturous. Chuck Long is beyond ridiculous. Thank goodness I don't have to watch anymore BTN this year.
gotta say I wasn't that thrilled because we should have spanked them bad. However. after going back and forth with Hawk fans I have to say a win is a win and we could be them - LOSERS!! remember last week how they said a win is a win? well, that's the end game and we friggin' won. We did so many good things, just stop shooting ourselves in the foot and we'll be okay
But my Facebook friends say its still a Hawkeye state no matter what the scoreboard says. I'm confused.
I think my room got a little dusty when Rhoads pulled in Knott and Lenz after watching everyone else go by. Two kids who Iowa passed on and now as seniors they get the final word in Kinnick. Great moment.
