Iowa needs to wake up. Defense isn't getting it done. Purdue has all day to throw the ball. Bell just exploiting the zone again.

This game is extremely winnable. D has been fine, I think - we've made Purdue execute and they've done a good job coming through with consistency. We'll find out if they can keep it up in the 2nd half.
Offense needs to pick it up a notch. I'm seeing some positive indications - we're getting a nice push in the run game and also some nicely executed passing downs as well. If we can get things clicking with a bit more consistency, we can hopefully get some points and get Purdue chasing us instead.

That's where I'm at, too. It's not outside of the realm of possibility, but they are overdue for a F up or 3 here in the 2nd half.

I think we might be a bit sluggish after the emotional win last week (which is exactly what I was afraid of), but you gotta give Purdue a lot of credit. They are making the big throws in the passing game that, to this point, no one else has been able to do with consistency against us.
Still very winnable, but it might just be Purdue's day.

Yup, it was. We're creeping towards the territory of *needing* a pick, I'm afraid.
You can't gameplan that guy out of a game. He's got a step on Hankins. Koerner needs to stay home to help over the top and trust the LBS to stop the run.
Oh. We need sacks or a turnover, bad. There's no question.
