In 2004 Iowa lost an early game in the desert and then came back to lose a game to the eventual Rose Bowl representative. On the final week of the season the eventual RB rep was upset while Iowa beat another team that thought they were destined for roses. Iowa went from 4th to tied for first in the conference in one glorious day.
Also remember Iowa had a historically strong D line with three future NFL players, that line also got winded at the end of games. They also had a surprising all-league QB, and corners that played Iowa's cushion coverage as it is annoyingly designed.
