Disagree. McCabe came to play too.

Hawkeye offense has no answer against a well-executed zone defense that double teams Marble to prevent the dribble-drive and takes away passes to the wing.

Good play by McCabe. When the dribble-drive isn't working and the jumpers aren't falling, look for 1 on 1 and take it strong to the rack.

This is just awful. I'm surprised we're not down 20.

If you didn't watch the game and only went by the box score, you might wonder where Marble was with only seven points. Those who watched realize that the two shots he hit were key to coming out of Madison with a win. What a great day to be a Hawkeye basketball fan, especially one who remembers...

It is easy to lose sight of the fact that even an average Iowa defense would have gotten this team wins at Iowa State and at Minnesota. Let's blame the coaching staff for getting too many players ready to be top NFL draft picks too soon.

I think most of us felt we had about an 8-win Iowa team on our hands. The Pitt comeback and the ULM game gave us the sense that this team now had a strong upside in the mostly favorable schedule and a very average looking Penn State team. Suddenly we allowed ourselves to think about more than 8...

Hope we develop a consistent place kicker. Ferentz likes to play the odds and field position, and if we can't make FGs consistenly it will not be good for this offense.

As I tweeted to stormin tonight, I'll take 'beatable and fun to watch' over 'beatable and boring as hell' any day of the week. Here's hoping the magic returns to Carver, as it has been way too long. We are not just a football school.

'nuff said. My only fear is that Sparty steals our thunder next week by lifting the veil on the Michigan offense.

Hold on folks. Tech is determined to give Boise yet another chance.

OK Musberger, stop it with the 'save Boise' talk.

Two things: 1) Enough of the dewpoint talk folks. 2) Big 10 kickers don't miss FGs like that.

Neither one of these teams deserves to be ranked ahead of us (or at least, I hope so pending the results next Saturday).

This is about where you would think that VA Tech's presumed advantage in player size along the line of scrimmage would assert itself.

Jon: you recently used the term 'hidden yardage' or something similar with respect to Iowa special teams play. This game proves the value of taking care of the little things. VA Tech had that kickoff that went out of bounds to give Boise good field position. The result was a Boise FG. Those...

Bingo. That penalty on the punt was horrific, and potentially a game-breaker if Boise scores 7 here.

AC got double teamed quite a bit and even triple-teamed at times. It was pretty clear that the EIU QB was focused on getting rid of the ball quickly because of the pressure. He blew up his guy when he went one-on-one a few times, one of which led to a sack by another player. Don't worry, AC is...

I still prefer our outcome to Wisconsin's. Now we just need to start a new tradition with Purdue: "The Black and Gold Game!" Commence trophy design!!

+1 on the Cliff's Notes version. Great to get the bottom line, thanks!
