Oh that's right, you guys would beat us every week... except ya know, the week the game is actually played. The Iowa offense is much better now than it was then and we still more than quadrupled your score.
Funny how your offense "gets much better" when you enter conference play in a defensive optional league
Iowa has a better strength of record and remaining SOS so I'm not sure your argument adds up.
Lol ESPN's FPI is a joke. There's a reason everyone references Sagarin for SOS
You are on your way to getting banned again. No one goes against ISU fans when it comes to whining about schedules.
Lol, why don't you compile a list of all references that aren't acceptable.
Also, I said strength of record and remaining SOS, link me to where Sagarin has those two.
You literally referenced the FPI which says Cincinnati, Duke, TCU and Fresno State are better defensively than Iowa...
So you don't think we had a HUGE disadvantage when we played?
Also have you seen how much better our offense is now that Purdy is starting?
I'm thinking since 9 Jan 2018
I've drank a lot in my lifetime so my memory is pretty poor so who knows. Thankfully all these "new Iowa posters" are able to remind me about stuff I said in 2015 to keep me accountable
Iowa's offense isn't better, the Iowa coaching staff was not looking to get in to a shootout against ISU. They wanted a low scoring quick game, ISU's coaching staff played right in to it for some reason. I'm not saying Iowa wouldn't beat ISU in a shootout but the Iowa coaching staff was smart enough to realize that's the kind of game ISU would look to play. They knew they would have an advantage in a "big ten" type of game. It's not a knock, just the facts. Iowa is better built to win that type of game (bc of line play).
A team like Wisconsin is the exact opposite, they want to play a low scoring game and are better at that type of a game than Iowa. So against the Badgers, the Iowa coaching staff knew to get an advantage they would have to capitalize on an area they have the advantage, thus were more aggressive against them than ISU. They didn't want to slug it out with a bigger, more physical team.
I'm sure you'll read this in a negative light but its not, its the exact opposite. Iowa's coaching staff had a great gameplan against ISU, if they played 10 times, Iowa would use the same gameplan over and over until it was proven not to work .
