Standing on the sidelines.These guys have both been through at least one season, two springs and now two fall camps...they are ready to play...whoever wins the job.
I was at the game; it was an out of control embarrassment that we had no chance of winning. Similar to Penn State, at no time did Iowa have its shit together. We scored more points then @ PSU, but it was the same headless chicken show.NW - killed? I believe we had a chance to go down and score to tie the game, but CJ threw an INT. Is that not right? Our offensive line got killed...and we didn't play well defensively...but we could have won that game.
Seven out of the last 10 years we've lost at least one preseason game. So when I said before that we normally lose one, I'd say that's correct. Going back to the start of the KF era we have lost at least one preseason game 12 out of the last 18 years, with a total winning percentage of .726 which is super shitty especially when you're purposely choosing cupcakes.I'm not sure the NDSU game qualifies as pissing down the leg...tough loss, sure...but we didn't get any breaks in that game and the TD called back to start the half hurt big time. We've played the Non-conference games pretty well over the past few years...NDSU was just one of those games that was going to be a dogfight. Our offensive line was also down two starters. No excuses, they beat us, but there were circumstances.
Anytime you lose a to a non-P5 school it's pissing down your leg. Our budget, facilities, recruiting power, and coaching staff are ten or fifteen times bigger and better than what NDSU's is. Zero reason to lose.
