Another cold one, but I did not think it was as bad as the Maryland game...even with the rain.
-Again, I thought Iowa was at least 2-3 scores better than the opponent it was playing. Iowa was pounding the ball up and down the field on them. Was probably a good thing, with how Nebraska was able to beat our defense fairly consistently with seemingly the same play over and over again with the ball being thrown out near the sidelines. And in the grand Iowa tradition against running QBs, we had our struggles with some containing the Qb. Thankfully, Martinez was not able to home run us and we were able to sack him several times and get a key pick in a late drive.
-I'm sure, like many, I was like here we go again and we were going to blow another one. But, man, Hock is a freaking stud and our senior place kicker redeemed himself after his earlier miss field goal.
-We will really miss our tight ends if they go pro with the schedule we have last year.
-Nebraska fans in our section were quite annoying. Their reactions were priceless after the kick went through.
-So, 8-4 and likely a good weather bowl. Again, another underachieving regular season, but they finished their last 2 games (showing some pride) and will likely be rewarded with a warm weather bowl.
-Perhaps, finally winning a close game this year, could come in handy if the bowl game is also close.
-Still felt real good to give a crushing loss to "Big Red" yet again.
