the question of "was last week a fluke?" has been answered.

It wasn't a fluke. Wisconsin is a significantly better team than Ohio State. If you watch both team, I think it's obvious.
No. No they aren't. Stop acting like Wisky is invincible. Yes they are much better than Iowa but most teams are. Wisky had tough games against Maryland, Illinois, etc. They are a good team...and we ain't even that.

Wisky beat PURDUE 19-7
 
That's a mentality for losers. Tell that to the players and let's see their response.

Props for getting your ass kicked...? It was an embarrassment, this isn't Hawk football. We have an offense that lacks leadership; starts at the top, KF & BF. You can't score if all 10 guys don't believe that one guy, the guy's job it is to lead them down the field and score. As a player, i expected to win...as a fan, i expect them to think the same.

I hate to tell you this, but yes...unfortunately it is Hawk football.

Unfortunately yes, and a fact all the same. Hawk Apathy was at is peak in '78. And is '79, Bump Elliott delivers coach Fry. Their is a large "Coach Fry" lineage, the proper torch bearers, out there ready, and waiting to come home. To come back to Iowa & reestablish what has clearly has been lost. The problem & the shame? There are no more Bump Elliot's.

Beat Michigan last year, Lost to Penn final seconds, Lose to Mich St by 7, throttle OSU and get blown up by frickin Wisconsin the team we supposedly mirror. WTF? That my friends is Iowa Football! Due to the Big network overbooked you can tune in to Comedy Central to watch today's game rebroadcast!
 
This was more than the other team just making plays.

This was an absolutely pathetic performance—by the offense and special teams. It’s embarrassing.

And I don’t want to hear about hope for next year after crappy performances. Because next year we’re going to hear about “development” the first half of the season.
 
Would love to see this in front of Kirk's house after the 2017 season ends

I think Iowa's O did breaktout

I also think they became complacent. They struggled so much that last week was like a 4 hour orgazm.

They looked cold and awkward, they did not match UW's intensity...no surprise that they played so poorly.


Intensity was missing
 
Last week I thought hey maybe we do have D1 talent. Today showed me that, no, we would be lucky to beat D2 teams. This team just utterly lacks talent at almost every position, at least on offense. Stanley would sit on the bench at almost every other P5 program. I don't know why we even have WR's because they can't catch the ball or get open. The line can't block. It's just embarrassing how far the program has fallen, and there's very little hope for the future under this coaching staff.
