NIU, obvious top 25 team....

That was some exaggeration on my part.
You know what that is right? Like when Iowa fans act like they don't care about this game.
Really? It was 3-3 at the end of 3 quarters. I don't think you remember that game as well as you think you do.
Oh, I remember it pretty well. I recall a stupid penalty being called against LJ for helmet-to-helmet contact with Tony Moeaki, and that was definitely a turning point in the game. The other being the punt return for a TD. Even without those plays going against us, that was a team that couldn't finish and didn't know how to win with Chizik hosing things up. I remember we outgained Iowa by quite a bit, but moving them up and down the field doesn't matter much if you can't score.
See you do know what exaggeration is.
and they say you can't teach a hawk fan anything.
You guys also have fire and enthusiasm going for ya, I'd love to see Iowa come out and look like they are breathing some fire and taking names!
here's the highlights from the Iowa - NIU game.

bullock looks like a WR back there. no way that kid holds up for the entire season carrying the load.

Iowa hadn't driven the field and punched one in all day. why does NIU not take a safety instead of trying to punt from the one, then take the drop kick and have Iowa starting at there own 40 on the ensuing drive (or possibly deeper)?
obviously hindsight is 20/20

Huh?
ISU was a bad team, yet it was 3-3 going into THE FOURTH QUARTER @ Kinnick
ISU never recovered from that horsh#t call on our safety Leonard Johnson, who destroyed Moeaki on a screen, causing a fumble where ISU recovered.
Moeaki lowered his head last, and the ref threw a helmet-to-helmet flag on Johnson. Instead of ISU's ball at midfield, Iowa got 15 more yards and a 1st down

This game scares me.
Anyone remember 2009? Yeah.. Iowa barely beat UNI. Then proceeded to pi$$ pound us.
I don't see that happening this year. I actually seeing us to put up a lot if points.
I think our D will be okay. Iowa isn't fast. Whatsoever. Tulsa had more speedlol IMO. Plus fans are already tired of the wide receiver screens (sound familiar?)I think we pick up where we left off Saturday.
Clones-31
Iowa-17

that really seemed to be the momentum swing in that game.
but ISU had plenty of other opportunities that they missed on. such as allowing a punt return for TD
iowa will not score 17 if their offense doesn't look drastically different then it did on saturday.
Vandenburg usually plays much better at home for some reason so I'm hopeful but I still think you guys get us maybe 31-21.

I'm not sure which is more foolish. The guys claiming NiU is such a great team. Or the people talking about how dumb Hawk fans are for saying such.
If I was a hawk fan I would be more worried about the UNI game. They were more impressive in the loss to WI that ISU was in the win over Tulsa and there is nothing worse than a loss to UNI. That is why I wish ISU would drop the series. If you beat them, so what, if you loose you are the laughing stock of the country because you lost to a lower level team.
As far as NIU have the best defense that Iowa will see all year, boy are they in for a surprise if they actually believe that. BTW, NIU might be the worst offense they see all year. Of course there are some pretty bad teams in the Big 10.
