Things didn't quite work out yesterday.
Things have been minutely dissected.
What's done is done.
With that said, does anyone care to move on to the Washington game?

IMO this game will define the season. I do not feel go about this game the way the offense has been lately.

If we win a special season is still on the table. If we lose, 8-4 or 7-5 is likely. There is a scenario where only wins left are Purdue and Illinois (6-6).

going out west is never good for iowa...

Many people keep saying this but the fact remains that history has nothing to do with this Friday.

I think a big part of this is the game starts at 8pm Iowa time and will likely end around 11pm Iowa time. I assume as Iowa practices in the morning that many players are in bed before 11pm. I think this has a significant impact on their athletic ability.

Was driving home with my son after being at the OSU game/loss. Gave him the history education of what happens to Iowa when we go out west - saw the historical scores and goes “oh boy…”

Hoping the team can buck history and get the ship back on track this Friday! But definitely has a “I’ll believe it when I see it” feeling for me. Short week. Trip out west. Banged up team. Running game (and run defense for that matter) is MIA.

when (if ever) has iowa won out west with a week (or in this case less than a week) turnaround?

L.J Phillips was back in action last weekend and to me, looked the best of all the RBs. He might be the difference maker this season for the running game and the offense.

Wish he had gotten more snaps. Almost felt like he was on a snap count.

Could be, just a test to see exactly where the ankle is.

Next years back field of Jackson and Phillips , change of pace backs would be good. nearly This whole team returns

PJ Fleck and the Gophers just went out to Washington and won.

They also had 7 sacks. Pressure helps, Iowa's D-Line doesn't provide it.

Not necessarily.

Iowa just sacked OSU 4 times.

Chose not to pressure Underwood, as his legs were too dangerous.

That being said, Iowa may try to keep Williams in the pocket, as he can also be a dangerous runner.

But that will give the Hawks advantages elsewhere.

There are different ways to win. And it's nowhere near time to start questioning Iowa's defense
