Reality check

I don’t see any evidence to suggest that Maryland is better than Indiana or Minnesota. Really the same could be said about Purdue, although they have the playmakers that will give Iowa problems.
Purdue has one element in place that is a huge upgrade over Minnesota, Indiana, and probably Maryland; their coach. I like Brohm. And one thing for sure, his defense will tackle people.
 
Punting is much better and actually been a weapon for us this year at times. We have a solid team and at times I say a very solid team. I think it comes down to QB play is how our record will be. It could be 11-1 or we could split the rest of the games. We still need to make better decisions on receiving KOs. Kind of a head scratcher at times. My glass is half full on this team. Stay healthy for the most part, we have a great season.

rastetter for MVP!
 
Do you know what worries me most about Maryland? NOTHING! Does anyone think that Marylands offensive or defensive lines will dominate our lines? I think not! And thats where it all starts, up front. This ones gonna be another blowout ala Indiana.
 
Iowa State is better than Wisconsin.

I don't think this is too far off. This week, Massey rated Wisconsin #16 and Iowa State #23. ISU would probably be a slight favorite at home against the Badgers. ISU is trending way up and Wisky is starting to show some cracks.

Iowa is going to be tested, but so is Wisconsin. I think the West is wide open now....4 team race and Iowa still has to play 2 of them (NW at home and Purdue on the road)
 
Iowa's physicality wore Iowa St. out. Campbell's dynamic playcalling goes out the window when it is not a game of pitch and catch. Wisconsin wins every time if Hornibrook doesn't melt down(which is a big if). ISU and Campbell are a nice story, but people need to relax, acting as if ISU could come over and just win the B1G West I don't care how weak it is.

Whoa. Michigan DOMINATED Wisconsin. that game was a complete blowout. Hornibrook wasn't the difference in Ann Arbor
 
I'm just as excited as you guys,
but has Iowa beaten anybody yet?
What quality wins do we have?
Not Iowa State (yet).
If Iowa wins next 2 games, then we can talk.
