Last TD against Iowa was a Meyer run in the closing minutes of the second quarter in 06....
That's 10 straight quarters with no TD's. Sickening

Whether a lot of you want to blow it off or not, it is a relevant stat. Especially in the 4 quarters we couldn't score one this past weekend. That said, I would rather put it behind us for now and focus on UNLV.

I could not disagree more. If the stat was that the 'Clones haven't scored a TD in the last 10 quarters this season, then you'd be on to something.
The Cyclones have scored plenty this season with the lone exception of 1 game.
I would say that about half of that stat is relevant. We scored no TD's against a BCS opponent and had the ball in the 30 like 6 times.
And that 1 game has been a third of our season. We should never go 4 straight quarters without a TD. The only time I might let that slide is against a top 5 team.
Guess what? We lost - get over it. It's time to focus on this weekend and UNLV.
Wow - one loss - and a loss that most sane fans expected (to some degree anyway), and people are already panicking and trying to spread their fears by bringing up meaningless statistics to rationalize their fears. So we haven't scored a TD against Iowa in 10 quarters. Big deal - it doesn't mean anything until September '09.

More relevant, I think, is what this team did the eight quarters before Iowa. Can anyone tell me...did we score any touchdowns in that period?
I think their point is who cares how much you can score against I-AA and MAC teams if you can't score when the big game comes.
