Not many of those games were proceeded by a loss, which was the topic.Yes. Fold.
Like this.
2022 at Ohio State 54–10 44-point loss at Ohio Stadium 2021 Michigan 42–3 39-point loss in the Big Ten Championship Game 2023 Tennessee 35–0 35-point shutout loss in the Citrus Bowl 2023 at Penn State 31–0 31-point shutout loss in Happy Valley 2015 Stanford 45–16 29-point loss in the Rose Bowl 2024 at Ohio State 35–7 28-point road loss in Columbus
Perhaps MSU game took some steam out of the Hawks before Stanford.
I wouldn't say Iowa folded in the other games.
You listed 3 games from a 2 year throw away period. The main reason Iowa struggled during that period was a crisis almost entirely due to bad luck. And any independent investigator would determine that in about 5 minutes.
One of those games was to OSU. And you cited another loss to OSU. Pretty standard for every team.
And you even managed to cite a game in which Iowa's opponent was punished for having cheated in it.
Brilliant stuff
