NW and Purdue gave them fits over the years by passing the ball on them. Their defense is set up to guard and stop the run, which is what most teams in the Little 10 do, but defensing the passing game is not what their defense is made to stop. Neither NW nor Purdue out talented those EIU teams, they just out executed them.How do you know that the way to beat Iowa is pass the ball early and often? Do you have examples where teams with similar talent levels have been successful recently?
