There is a positive in this

They are what they are. An average team by every measure.

There is time for them to improve, but it must be at a faster rate than in years past.

The easy schedule may end up masking a lot of problems, but there are no gimmies (see Minnesota and Indiana games last year).

I see Northwestern enjoying watching the Iowa film this week....

I don't think it will be pretty as Persa will slice our D apart in the air and on the ground and the offense won't be able to keep up, 37-24 Cats.

This maybe the one year when our D is a better match for a spread team like NW.

Hey, I found my positive. I don't have to feel no anxiety the rest of this season because today proved they are not going to do anything worthwhile. I can spend the rest of my 'fall' saturdays to do other things.

But, I can't wait for basketball, could be exciting

Then have fun...we don't need ya

There you go, my thoughts exactly.

Maybe you and turf can find something positive then

We now know for certain who we are this year. Its going to be a building year. We will probably surprise someone - BUT this is a poor IOWA team by our standards.

We will be rolled by many teams - Mich, Nebr.... maybe we upset MSU... I think we struggle with Indiana and history says we wont be able to keep up with NU.. Purdue = toss up

We have a very average D-line and a very average O-line. We have an inexperienced QB who right now melts under pressure. The positives are young guys will get a year of experience and maybe some new guys come in and fill some spots.

I have a bad, bad feeling about the rest of the year. I can easily see 5-7. I just hope JVB doesn't go JC6 on us.

Iowa has too many JRs & SRs to consider this a rebuilding year.

Dumb...

Dumb...

Very.... There's issues. Plain and simple.

I can find many more positive things to do than waste three and a half hours watching a hamstrung team try to scrape up more than three points and fail.
