Are we over the hump?

Outside of Arizona, this was the game on the 2010 schedule that had me most concerned. Denard Robinson and his WRs were going to be hard to contain for four quarters. I felt even before the season started this was the game where the offense would have to carry the defense (see the third paragraph of my post from six hours prior to kickoff today, linked below).

The rest of the way we pretty much know who we'll be facing and the three remaining games against ranked opponents are at home. Each game will be tough, and Iowa will have to be nearly mistake-free to win. There are no gimmes and there can be no let-downs. But to me this was the wildcard, the big unknown -- get past Michigan, we pretty much know what's ahead the rest of the way.

Thoughts?

I would agree. However, the games you usually think will be "W's" end up being the ones that dictate the season. I haven't seen anything from a team in the Big 10 that makes me feel like we won't be in every game. Our defense will be tested more and more each week, and our offense will continue to improve.
