    Punting inside the opponent's 40

    For what it's worth, five of those eight punts were touchbacks -- so 52 yards from the 20 puts the opponent on Iowa's 28. The opponent isn't punting from there.

    Punting inside the opponent's 40

    I guess I wasn't even thinking field goals. I'm suggesting that Iowa go for it in those situations -- especially when you consider the odds are great the opponent will reach our original line of scrimmage with ease in the subsequent drive -- as the stat posted earlier shows.

    Punting inside the opponent's 40

    This is one of those decisions that leaves many Iowa fans scratching their heads. Since the beginning of the 2010 campaign, Iowa has punted at or inside the opponent's 40 yard line 8 times (including twice vs. Nebraska). The average subsequent drive by the opponent has been 11 plays...

    Why does Iowa play in so many close games?

    October 20, 2007 The Cubs were still stinging from a first-round sweep in the playoffs. The frontrunners in the 2008 presidential race were Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. And no one outside of Alaska had ever heard of Sarah Palin. That was a long time ago. It was also the last time...

    Preseason rankings could spell trouble for Wisconsin

    Count me in as one of those who was very disappointed to see Iowa and Wisconsin split up when the Big 10 announced its divisional format. As a Hawk fan living in the Badger state, I have enjoyed this rivalry a great deal and followed Wisconsin football closely. It's too bad the two teams won't...
