Everyone wants an undefeated season, but Iowa has never done it before. It's a long shot, but possible. Iowa needs to know that the BIG West Division is wrapped up prior to the trip to Lincoln. The drama of a game where Iowa has everything to lose might be good for TV ratings, but Iowa fans...

Jerry Palm thinks it will be Iowa vs Utah in the Fiesta Bowl! http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jerry-palm/25344102/bowl-projections-big-ten-shake-up-say-goodbye-to-boise-state

Exactly. Not sure why some people don't understand that.

It never hurts to have a safety net. If Illinois could somehow beat Wisconsin, then Iowa would have to lose 3 games for either Wisconsin or jNW to finish ahead of the Hawks. Something tells me that Illinois will probably finish 5-3/4-4, and Iowa also owns the tiebreaker over them. Nebraska...

Only on an Iowa message board would there be a thread dedicated to praising the fullbacks. While much deserved after the jNW game, fans from other teams are probably on wikipedia right now trying to figure out what the hell a fullback is.

For all we know the kid is totally happy at ISU. He's playing for the school he always dreamed of playing for, right? Legacy Recruit, blah blah blah At the very least he has to live with his choice, and I hope it was completely his choice and not influenced by an adult who wanted to relive...

I was thinking the exact same thing. Slap me, I must be dreaming. Also, if Iowa is actually favored by double digits by odds makers in 4 of the last 5, I would be willing to guess that Iowa will only cover in 1 of those 4 games.

We need MSU to beat OSU. Iowa could beat MSU in the championship game. From a matchup standpoint it's a lot more favorable than Ohio State. MSU doesn't have a great defense this year, but they do have a really good QB. Ohio State has too many weapons to defend. I don't think the Iowa...

You could make an argument that Iowa is currently the best team in the BIG. No other BIG team has victories over 2 different Top 25 opponents on the road. No other BIG team has victories over 5 Power 5 opponents at this point. Pitt (5-1) might be ranked this week or next...another Top 25...

Fitz has realized that the ceiling at jNW is a lot lower than he thought. They couldn't even sell out the stadium for the Iowa game...2 top 25 teams. Probably because people wanted to be at home in time to watch the Cubs play. His hatred for Iowa has overshadowed his ability to prepare his...

I don't think it matters. It's an East Division game between 2 East Division teams.

What did you have to do to rehab that injury? Just not agitate it? I guess I'm just curious if the extra week will allow him to heal up, or if it takes time with rehab. No 2 injuries are the same, right?

The O-line has been incredible. With all the injuries, who would have thought? I agree with Jon Miller in his Instant Reaction Podcast, that Brian Ferentz needs to be in any serious discussion for National Assistant Coach of the Year. The Iowa running game is phenomenal, and the O-line...

I really hope that Beathard is alright. He looked to be limping pretty bad at the end. Do groin injuries take a long time to heal up?

Great game by AW. Looks like his fumbling issues are behind him, hopefully. Iowa really needed that performance. Brian Ferentz and that O-line... Oh my!

I've never seen this video. Thanks for posting. I was at that 2004 game vs Wisconsin at Kinnick. It was a magical night watching the Hawks secure a Big Ten Championship. I'll never forget it.

Michigan State also had John L Smith and someone else between Saban and Dantonio Indiana had Gerry Dinardo, Terry Hoepner, some other guy and now Kevin Wilson. Who was before Dinardo?

Iowa is #17 in the Coaches Poll today, and the AP poll should be out shortly. I think that's about right considering the close wins against Pitt, Wisconsin and Illinois. Iowa isn't going to blow out many opponents...especially teams that are similar. Each game will be likely be close right to...

Based on PPG: The Big 12's top Defense (West Virginia) would only be 6th best in the BIG. ISU's defense would only be 12th best in the BIG. Just for fun: The BIG's best offense (Ohio State) would only be 5th best in the Big 12. Defense wins championships.

Even better! Conference games are ultimately all that matter. They are the toughest games against the best players and programs.
