By any measure Iowa is a good team, note I dd not say GREAT team. Does anyone really think the Huskers fall into the GREAT category? Iowa is well coached, you can bash him and his staff all day long but they do a good job getting talent to Iowa and developing it. They play a consistent hard nose style of play that is not flashy and makes you make mistakes and then they take advantage of them. I am not an Iowa fan but to totally disregard when they have done is ridiculous. They had a great year last year, beat all comers until the end - we would have gladly taken that option as well.
I agree with the poster who stated that we have more in common than not. I also read there is question about a solid game plan - sheez, it isn't like our coaches just fell off the turnip truck. They will have a solid plan but it still requires execution. With or without Tommy, you still have to do the little things like block, tackle, catch the ball and be in the right place to make those plays. Iowa wears you down with physical play and their lack of mistakes - they won't beat themselves very often and we will have to play very good to beat them there. I would never say they suck but I would say that about any opponent. I guarantee you the Husker coaching staff and players are not saying Iowa sucks.
