Whip their butts in the trenches, establish the run, set up the play action pass, take a couple of punches but never panic. Beautiful.

I think haymakers was the word you were looking for.
A couple of punches =/= 31 points and 500 yards of offense given up

I agree but not enough for many of the armchair coaches

I was thinking specifically about the 17 straight points they scored in the 2nd/3rd quarter. A lot of teams wither in that situation... I know I was freaking out and it sounded like everyone in Kinnick was pooping in their shorts. Instead, the team went out and scored another 17 straight right back at them. I know they scored 14 more points, but at that point the game was pretty much over.
It was also very gratifying to see the "next man in" on defense. Donatell was in on a ton of plays.

This for sure. He played with good leverage, I only remember him missing one tackles, and really didn't make too many mistakes (just gotta make that QB pitch on the option!).

Very happy for the win BUT you do realize, don't you, that take away the pick six, the difference in this game is a field goal. That's not going to get it done every Saturday....

And we are not good enough towin every Saturday. We have an average team. The team played hard tonight, it was entertaining and we won. Let's enjoy it!

We ran the ball 7 times in the first half. After going three and out their first possession of the 2nd half, they got the ball and the next drive was 10 plays, 8 of them runs, for 6.
We scored 24 points in the 4th and only passed 4 times.

The D is not going to win us ball games this year. Hopefully, we can keep that 4th quarter offensive momentum going into the next game. I don't understand how we can't play the first 3 quarters of a ball game but somehow we figure it out in the 4th. We need to figure that out earlier in ball games and stay up by 13+ points an entire game.

I know I didn't have a good feeling when NW tied it up at 17. Thank God the players stayed focused and determined!

Winning by 3 points isn't going to get it done? I think that gets it done every Saturday, every Friday, and every Sunday.
I really don't understand some people. Seriously, we just kicked them in the teeth in the 4th quarter. Isn't that the whole point of football? To put yourself in a good position and then dominate a team at the end of the game?

Um, I thought we had a pretty nice 1st quarter. The second quarter started out pretty nicely too.
^true ... this won't be enough for EVERY saturday.
but, it was enough for THIS saturday. and when you're a young team playing an opponent that has owned you recently, a win feels pretty damn good.
also, it was NOT as close as the score (at least in the second half)
it's a big W. Soak it in. We'll fix everything tomorrow.

It was nice to see Iowa play to win instead of playing not to lose in the 4th. Huge credit to the staff.

Seems like they were tired of losing to NW the same way we have for years now.
