TOP and # of plays were heavily in the Hawks favor. Sometimes total yardage isn’t a good barometer and this game was a case in point
It is still a Hawkeye State

Eh, I think Purdue may be a little down this year. Minnesota and Nebraska haven't exactly been impressive either. Agree with the other three.

Williams likes all the clicks/money they bring in. I guess if it keeps our site free and better than the ****** Iowa one theyre welcome.
Seriously you’re a piece of ****.
I didn’t see that. I’m sure there were several missed calls that favored Iowa, just like there were several missed calls that favored Iowa State. That’s kind of the point- any talk that the officiating had any influence on the outcome of the game is pure nonsense. There are missed calls on both sides in literally every game that has ever been played.
The **** are you talking about. The big ten announce team even commented on how he didn’t have an impact on the game.
No one has seen what the real Michigan is yet, PSU wasnt impressive today, Purdue Minny and Nebby are all winnable barring a sometimes weird Iowa loss like they do.
That one was pretty obvious. Not using it as an excuse but it was there.
And them finding a holding call on 4th down.
And Mike not holding on to that interception, as well as the one in the end zone.
If Minnesota is even in the discussion by mid-October then something's up.
Wisconsin and Iowa look pretty decent and I hope Purdue is bad because TCU worked them tonight.
On the big run where the kid got outside, on their 3rd field goal, there was pretty obvious block in the back when they sealed the end crashing in.
Won’t use it as an excuse, but it sure came on a really critical point where we ended up losing a lot of momentum after it.
I didn’t catch that Purdue score tonight. Still though, Purdue has been average at best the last few years and that hasn’t stopped them from beating iowa
Purdue's in a weird spot. Upset some teams but cant get over the hump of being about 6-6ish.
I really like their coach.
no. Iowa had 5 scoring drives. ISU had 3.
Same as the WSU and UNI games. At some point, critical Turnovers and penalties just become your identity.
Probably 9 wins for Iowa. Clones I would guess 8 still. Both teams have tough defenses that will win them some ball games. This game tonight wasn't a thing of beauty for either team but it rarely is. Tough circumstances and both teams will probably look a lot better next time out.
Purdue didn't have their QB tonight and the backup looked awful. Not saying it would've changed the outcome but was definitely a factor.
