I love how Iowa and Nebraska fans call each other inbreeds. Something of a Thanksgiving tradition.

I don't think Iowa's offense was quite as bad against Illinois as many seem to think. It's true that there were few passing plays and drops on a number of catchable balls. Iowa's offense did have more first downs than Illinois 17 vs. 11. Time of possession was pretty good at around 36 minutes...

You're just looking for an excuse to root against the Goofers. Can't say I'd be against Iowa playing in the conference championship, but I'm not going to root for Minnesota either.

Looks like Cincinnati vs. East Carolina and San Diego State vs. Boise State are the big Black Friday games with something on the line. At least the Boise State game is away, so they can avoid any smurf-turf induced nausea the day after Thanksgiving.

Desperately trying to find a bigtime quarterback to fit their system.

Nebraska once again found a way to lose. All is as it should be.

They got the points they needed.

I think it is Hankins and Koerner that are out today.

They dug themselves out of a hole.

Padilla has a number of things going for him. Two wins and no losses to his record. No questions about injury status. He started out well in both games. His mobility helps with an struggling offensive line. He has a very quick release. He's been reasonably accurate without any major game...

It's going to be ugly wins and even uglier losses from here on out. Nothing unexpected. I was just happy the offensive line play was serviceable. Padilla can throw on the run. That makes a big difference.

Or you could be reading way the hell too much into this.

On a slightly more serious note, this might be one of those games where Iowa should take a safety if trapped inside their own ten yard line. Instead of letting Wisconsin run their power running game with a dramatically shortened field, just take the safety and punt from the 20.

6-5 Iowa

I think some of this has to do with over all scholarship limits and how they think they can cover their recruiting needs. Guard is one of those position where they can develop walk-ons for at least part of their depth. Right guard has been the perennial developmental spot for Iowa. I would...

Wisconsin's defensive alignments and odd man fronts tend to give Iowa's blockers fits even in a normal year. With an inexperienced offensive line, I look for that trend to continue.

I made a comment that I hoped Lachey isn't seriously dinged up and makes it back at TE. I believe Lachey was out for the Purdue game. Playing 12 personnel works a lot better if you have proven productivity in both TE. I believe Miamen is currently the #3 tight end. Not sure if he has played much.

Sam's big year was 2004, when Tate was a first year starter. He started the year behind Jermelle Lewis, Marcus Schnoor, Albert Young, Marquees Simmons. There was also another running back who was dismissed from the team before fall camp. Sam was literally the last man in. He almost never got...

If I remember right the back end of the defense was riddled with injuries in the second half of the season. The 2006 offense was pretty pedestrian, not as bad as this season's offense. The receiving core that year was about as thin as Iowa has ever had. I don't remember that team being...

Looks like Northwestern scored its touchdown for the week. They're done.
