And lousy teams find a way, too. Indiana did it yet again today. We had nothing to do with it.

Winning on the road in the B-10 is not something you take for granted. Too many (playstation) fans are only happy with perfection. Attacking the best QB in the B-10 after he goes 22/33 - 290 - 1 td - 1int? Most FBS team would love to have a QB put up those number on the road. AND come out with the win. Indiana was playing to save their coaches job today. It was never going to be a 39-3 type of game.

I'd say Indiana was fairly fortunate that Iowa had the ball at the ten or better four times and got no touchdowns.

At least they actually had our receivers covered in the redzone.

Iowa scoring more points had nothing to do with it?

Our defense did NOTHING to stop the final drive. At least Indiana actually made plays to stop us in the redzone. We just got lucky.

Indiana was also pretty lucky that we scored in three plays and less than a minute, too. Where does it stop?

You could also say that Indiana got lucky. Iowa had three red zone trips in the 1st half and only had two field goals.
They won the game. It still counts.

Indiana covered our receivers and stuffed the few rushing attempts we made inside the 10. They made plays to FORCE us into settling for field goals. Our defense didn't FORCE them into 0 points that final drive.

Fine. Complain about Iowa playing their worst game of the year, and still being able to sack up enough at the end to pull it out of the fire.

When this isn't the first time the defense has either failed or all but done so. They're essentially 1-4 in those situations this year. They weren't the whole reason that we almost lost today, but when our philosophy is to lean on the defense, we can't afford to have a defense that isn't making the clutch stop consistently.

Apparently you're gonna have to go root for another team as this one just isn't good enough for you.

I will still bleed Black and Gold. That doesn't mean I can't call it how I see it without the Black and Gold glasses on.

When you have no real way to argue, bring out the cliches.
Indiana wasn't fortunate about that. Just bad coaching on Iowa's part. Put the game on a silver platter for Indiana...thankfully they suck just enough.
