First of all to all of you delusional people saying "We'll never be great" or "When will we fire Ferentz"... Seriosly...
We might never win a national championship, but things can definately get much much worse. This program has tons more room to get worse than it does to get better. We are lucky to have a staff that takes us to January bowls, has a football team that competes very hard in almost every game.
Things could get much worse. Ferentz is a perfect fit for Iowa and I don't think there's too many people in college football who could do a better job at Iowa.
If we can replicate from 2010 to 2019...and have some average years like we've had this decad...e then sign me up. 90% of BCS schools would sign up for what we've done over the last decade.
Wisconsin... they played well. They made plays when they needed them and their coach rolled the dice when he needed to. When you a play a good team if they don't make too many mistakes then you better play flawless yourself if you want to win.
We played very good too. But it comes down to a few special teams mishaps and our defense was not able to shut down their offense like we've become acustomed to.
Finally, absolutely inexcusable clock management at the end. I don't understand how someone paid $3M can't make what is a logical routine decision. You spike the ball and leave yourself 9 seconds with a timeout. I'm super ****** about that because we've seen it before and we were bailed out by poor clock management in the Capitol One Bowl. There is not excuse for such agregious clock manage. It was utter stupidity.
But the last play of the game is just one of many reasons we lost. One play doesn't lose or win a football game folks.
