From 1999 - 2014 Iowa played 12 P4 non-con opponents in the regular season, other than ISU.
Iowa is 7-6 against such competition.

I agree with the concept, but not sure the desired experience and experimentation is happening.
We often play the cupcakes too close to the vest, intentionally limiting our O & D instead of experimenting.
And NOT playing the backups for experience because the game is too close for comfort.
I recall a fair amount of discussion on this board regarding the 'complexity' of the previous OC's offense. So much so, it became an regular excuse for not playing underclassmen or backups at the offensive skill positions. (see Deacon Hill)
I hope the offensive talent we have on board will be up...
