Iowa played Indiana on this day in history.
The Hawks record was 5-1 and they were ranked in the Top 15.
The Hawks were coming off a tough loss at home to Ohio State two weeks before, then a huge win over Purdue at home the following week.
The Hawks had an experienced senior QB.
The Hoosiers had a strong passing game with a bunch of good receivers.
It was an 11:03 a.m. kick off on ESPN2.
Iowa lost, 31-28.
I don't think that will happen again, mainly because the Hoosiers QB can't run and is very slow. I don't think their team of 2010 matches up very well to their 2006 club. And Iowa is better now than they were in 2006.
But -- for some reason -- I have that terrible game of October 14, 2006, on my mind today.
