Yup. So what is your definition of a "decent" team? I guess mine is a team that has a winning record and has won games in a power 5 conference. I'm not saying Iowa was good last year, but when somebody says decent, I guess I need more context. I consider us decent last year, but not good.
So you believe Pitt isn't going to a bowl game or going to be decent the rest of the year? You could be right but I think they will be good enough for 7-8 wins this year. That would qualify, in my book, as a decent team.
Cream puffs is a bit strong. I think Pitt will end up being a bowl team and ISU isn't going to be good but it's a rivalry game. But overall not a hard 4 games with regards to strength of schedule.
That said I think today showed we have some issues along both offensive and defensive lines...
This is some great stuff. That's said, I really hope the iowa fans show up in Seattle to fill up the arena for the games. Granted, I hate ISU, but I would love to see them all cheer on the states a teams and represent the state well.
Most of us thought we'd drop to the last 4 in last year, myself included, but it happened. That said, I don't see us going down further than a 9. I hope an 8. Kentucky got to the final as an 8 last year. Silver lining????
Also basically playing 4 corners offense with 3 minutes left. They had a fast break 3 on 2 and held it back. No FG in the last almost 8 minutes. I think I saw Kurt whispering in Barnes' ear at the end there
