It's nice to see an actual running game again. It has been a long time.

My God Cade needs to learn to get rid of the ball.

 

[Garandx]

Cade reminds me of Ole Allen Robinson, HOT GARBAGE

They couldnt against Utah state who just got road runnered by air force

Luckily for us performance in the first game has nearly zero correlation with the rest of the season

TOUCHDOWN IOWA

 

[hawkeyewx]

And Iowa just covered the -28 betting line. I don't gamble, but I figured betting on WMU and the 28 points was easy money. It certainly looked like it was after the first quarter or two.

Noah S took IA this week. Kirk helping him out.

Very happy to see that last TD. Don't know about the "running it up". Iowa's last TD was a 6th string RB, 2nd string QB and the 4th string TE made the biggest play on that last drive. The 4th, 5th and 6th string running backs played the entire 4th quarter. Anderson's big reverse, also a non starter.

I was curious how much was improvement and how much was the competition. Before today WMU ranked 42nd in rush defense (just below Iowa and ahead of both of our other opponents) so they weren't soft. I think we saw some real growth in the running game today.

To give credit where credit is due. We got some good effort and success out of everyone. Nice to see the RB's get their shots.
And Brian called a pretty good game following the delay.

4 of 12 on 3rd downs is not going to get it done against B1G teams.
