Iowa's defense should be able to contain Indiana's offense. But the question is Iowa's offense and Spencer Petras. Indiana's defense is improved, though it's tough to gauge how improved given how uneven the competition was last year. But if last year was any gauge, Indiana has a much improved...

Stanzi ended up being pretty good, but he had some bad games in the beginning. Games where he was totally lost. So expecting Petras to be great after the turbulent start he's had may be asking too much. While the first two games are important they are only 2 of the 12 games to be played. Win...

True. My friends and I would power drink before we went into the stadium. Now we won't need to. I'm sure Iowa fans will adapt.

Overlooking Illinois would be a huge mistake. Last year they played Iowa tough in the first half. They looked like contenders. Many of those seniors are taking the extra year of play. They have an experienced QB and a proven coach. We may not like Belima but it's tough to dispute his record in...

I am reminded of the last time I went to a 2.30 kickoff game. 1st quarter. One large fellow had to be helped out of the stands as he was too drunk to walk. One person was passed out cold and had to be carried out. Not saying Iowa fans can't handle their alcohol but.....

Got to get past the first 2 games to see how Iowa is going to do this year. 0-2 and it's a long year. 2-0 Iowa has a team and Northwestern and Wisconsin are looking winnable.

There should be an overhaul of the Big Ten administration. They have botched this whole season from the onset. The scheduling of Iowa and Michigan was just the latest gaff.

He's going to miss a lot. Some of it's because he has basically lost a spring and summer. Iowa's going to suffer some bumps and bruises because of his lack of experience. The sad part is that next year he'll be better but Iowa will be missing a lot of pieces.

Iowa always seems to play a basic scheme against the Huskers. Pass rush, stay in lanes, don't over pursue. Don't let the running QB control the game. It has worked in the past but barely. If not for the mistakes Nebraska made, it would have been an Iowa loss.

It surprising that Adrian Martinez is still a Nebraska Husker. At the end of last years game, I commented that Scott Frost set up a quarterback competition by the way he benched Adrian. After his freshman year Adrian Martinez looked to be the answer to Nebraska's quarterback issues. Now a year...

Iowa 53-17

As for next year we know, Iowa will have a good QB with a year under his belt. Good running backs. Couple of decent WRs. And offensive line that may lack a star since Jackson will most likely leave. Defensively, Iowa should be fine. Defensive line is a concern. Not the starting 3 or 4 but...

For a first year QB he's doing good. He makes some mistakes. So far I haven't seen the total bone head plays that Stanley made. His upside is very bright.

I agree. PSU is not to be overlooked. They went 20 points and ended up losing by a score to Nebraska. Granted Nebraska isn't a high caliber team but against Iowa, Penn State seems to compete pretty tough. It would be nice to get a win against these guys after all the disappointments

Typical Iowa Look like a dumpster fire for a couple of games and then just when we write them off they look like they are on a championship run.

The defense was a mixed bag. They got some INT's. Some sacks. But most of the time Purdue had too much time to pass the ball. Part of that is Iowa's gap/lane defense pass rush. Not saying that's bad, it's done to keep the QB in the shrinking pocket. Purdue is a passing team, they will burn teams...

This sucks. Beyond belief. Now if the other conferences don't follow suit, the B1G spirals downward. Either way, the stench of this is going to last a long time. Beyond the fans, all those who depend on the revenue of a game will be in financial peril. But not to worry. The university presidents...

It would be nice if a new coach could just walk into the facility and start winning but the odds aren't good for that to happen.

Kirk gone, Brian gone, Doyle gone. Dismantle a program that has taken years to build up because some things weren't right? Not to make light of this, because it is serious, but it's not Pedo gate. Institutions are not perfect. They will never meet all the wants or needs of all involved. Trust...

Exactly what I was going to say. His paycheck we don't worry about. He earns his money.
