    Couldn't shoot.

    I did not realize that Maryland uses a different ball then the rest of the big ten. Not an excuse and I don't think the team is using it as one, but you'd assume that the ball used in big ten games was something they standardized.

    Major Violation

    Yes Donald Trump is. He is also OK with letting everyone know it.

    Fullbacks

    I think the fullbacks are going to have another NW type game against Purdue. Usually Seniors at Kinnick on Senior day Make statements. It's been nice to have fullbacks to watch that are playing the position.

    Who Was Around When Haydon Started Coaching Iowa?

    My first memory of the hawks was being told I wasn't allowed to enter my parents friends house since I wanted to root for the team with the dogs on it (82 rose bowl) I was 4. So I am lucky enough to never remember a time previous to Hayden Fry.

    Why does every analyst hate Iowa? You know why

    Sorry but honestly who cares. Go take a walk , play fetch with your dog, etc. Even with social media you can't have true discourse with the people you are vilifying so ignore them.

    Does LeShawn . . .er . . . I mean LeShun get B1G POTW?

    I guess they were making up for all of the gopher pass interference calls they didn't make.

    Why is Iowa Winning the Close Games This Year?

    we tend to do well when the other team makes mistakes. Go back and count how many catchable balls were dropped by our opponents this year. Also turn over margin is usually a great indicator.

    What if....

    I"m sorry but I don't see a one loss ND team getting picked above two undefeated conference champs. If Iowa and OK ST win out and ND gets' picked ahead of either of them something is extremely wrong with how this whole thing is set up.

    Why is the Defense so much better?

    Not trying to diminish what our d has done but part of them being better is their opponents being worse. Just go back and look at how many catch-able balls by our opponents were dropped. Another aspect being our offense having long drives keeping them off the field and rested.

    Wait until Iowa loses

    Will be interesting to see how our D performs against a real offense.

    Don't mean to be knee jerk, but how concerned do we need to be for next week?

    yeah the second half was all about running into 10 man fronts and the safeties playing deep on d. Giving up the return kinda sucked but that guy is leading the country in return yards.

    If We played Ohio State 10 times, how often do we win?

    if we can run the ball on them like we have against everyone else this year it comes down to special teams and turnovers. If we can't run on them successfully I don't like our chances as i expect them to score on every possession.

    Maryland OL thinks Iowa D overrated?

    To play a bit of devil's advocate here, Iowa's scheme has traditionally been weak vs uptempo spread run teams. Their ability to stop the run vs MD will make me feel a little better about Indiana.

    My collection of thoughts

    I think we will keep doing ok as long as the turnover battle keeps going in our favor. To be honest though, our defense is benefiting by two things. The first is that as always we are limiting the possessions in the game based on how we play both on o and d . The second thing is most of the...

    Talk to your kids about undefeated Iowa

    Yeah he lost all credibility by doing that. Even if his wife wears the pants in the family and is an Auburn fan, you don't document it.

    Targeting?

    In the Michigan game they either didn't see the linemen push him into the QB or because as he was going down he intentionally lowered his head to make contact with the QB (which is very noticeable on the replay). Also I didn't see the Stanford play but it doesn't just mean helmet to helmet. If...
