Iowa v. Wisconsin

i agree, and I said that, but I don't think he's making a 4 or 5 game difference. Their D is really good too.

Also, do you think if he went to Iowa last year we have any more success?

Wiscy's D is FAR from being really good.....

Wisconsin is doing what Iowa failed to do last season. That is the only difference and it sucks because Iowa had the talent last year to back up the Orange Bowl season with another great one.

Wisky is simply using the talent they have and fulfilling expectations following the Rose Bowl season.

Good post.

Iowa has done very well against Becky head to head. Two years ago, they came from behind at Cramp Randall and won. Iowa won a BCS bowl a couple of years ago. All is not lost.

The real disappointment for Iowa, of course, was last year. 3 out of 4 D linemen are in the NFL now. I believe the Hawks had 7 guys drafted. They had leads against Becky, OSU, etc, etc...and lost those games. Last year was Iowa's "year" at least for a little while.

Wisky has had great luck this year. They were going to be decent but not great prior to Wilson's arrival. Now, they're in the hunt for all the marbles (the easy schedule doesn't hurt). It also doesn't hurt that fOSU has imploded.

We'll see, though. The season ain't over yet.

Agree.

And let's no overlook the impact of the fake punt. If BB punts the ball away or we stop them, I think you are looking at two completely different outcomes for both teams the rest of the year. That was a crushing loss for us and having a group of seniors that had done everything other than winning a BT title I think it took a lot of wind out of their sails.

That's pretty easy to see how we played the rest of the year in Big Games vs. Non big games.

Exactly!

People seem to forget that Iowa had Wisky beat last year. That season wasn't the same after that loss.

Not capitalizing on the interception by greenwood was the worst thing that happened that day,we had them dead to rights after that play and we didn't finish them right there. Also leaving 4 points off the scoreboard on special teams was crucial....that game still makes me sick to my stomach.
I'd like my shot at them to avenge our loss from last year and knock them out of the bcs conversation.
