Iowa got beat plain and simple. It was a heartbreaking loss, but Wisconsin was the better team. On to Minnesota.
Combination of not getting pressure and underwhelming coverage.
Greg Eisworth Turing Into A Star
Minus a botched tackle against Oklahoma, Greg Eisworth is turning heads. I am fully becoming a believer in what he brings to Iowa State’s defense. For the second Saturday in a row, Eisworth led Iowa State in tackles, lining up at multiple spots on the field. The way he flies to the football and diagnoses plays as they happen is certainly fun to watch. He also recorded a team-high three pass deflections. In a position that Iowa State was worried about coming into the season, Eisworth has proved to ease those concerns.
I'm not saying it wasn't, your entire defense got gouged by Wisconsin. I'm just asking because usually Iowa has at least one really good CB and it doesn't appear they have even a decent one
On a positive note I thought Hooker played real well minus the TD he gave up
Isn't the score the best indication of the "better team." Even in a case like Akron vs Northwestern, Northwestern doubled the yards Akron had but lost because of turnovers. The better team would be expected to have more yards but the better team would also be expected to make fewer mistakes and capitalize on opportunities. It's the nature of fans to see the ways they could have won while ignoring the mistakes the other team made (and won anyway) Murphy was dishing out the same crap last night. Iowa fans are divorced from reality in how great they think their team is and how great their program is. Did the "better team" win when they played THE Ohio State last year?
This is where you're uneducated. You saw him miss one tackle and thought he struggled the whole game. Hooker gave up a crucial TD but I actually think he played well overall. Just the difference in educations
Did Jon to the podcast In monotone.
Hey Jon the better team didn't win, the better team didn't make stupid mistakes.
I don't know why it is a surprise the media reacts this way to an Iowa loss. Most times they think Iowa is the best team. Look at their reaction when ISU beats them. Most think Iowa always goes on to have this amazing year and is so much better than ISU after losing to them. 9 time out of 10 that is not the case at all.
