It's South Dakota State, with a convincing win over rival and fellow power North Dakota State. Jackrabbits win 45-21.

Folks we weren't playing chopped liver that day. And to think out of our three conference crossover games, two of them made the FBS playoff.

Thar was one tough schedule we played.

It's always harder to play a team with no depth early on.

Iowa's output was similar to two other ISUs, Delaware, and SD on scores.

Iowa produced less than 1/2 of the average yards given up per game by SDSU.

Yes, Iowa wasn't playing chopped liver. Offensively, Iowa was the chopped liver.
 


Their offense was great. Their defense gave up a lot of points. Put those 2 things together and you get 7-3.
 


And UNI came within 1 pt of beating the Jackrabbits in the Dome.

After seeing SDState up close and personal at Kinnick in Sept, I told my out-of-state friends they were bigger, stronger, and better than almost all the MAC teams Iowa has played over the years. That looked like a BTen team getting off the bus. I was really impressed with them.
