10 wins -7 pts agaist ranked opponents.

And an unbelievable defense.
They played one very good offense in PSU and gave up 31. Michigan is a decent offense and they gave up 26.

Keep in mind “complimentary football” also means that once opponents get a lead they can go into low risk mode. Also Iowa plays drain the clock, minimize possession football. Iowa losing by 26 and 31, as they did against the two good teams they played, is like a normal team losing by 40+. They are a 6-7 win team that gets to 9-10 by playing in the worst power conference division since it’s inception.

Their kicker has been inconsistent, making their ST overall very good (elite P and PR). Their defense is very good. It’s not great.

They’ve played 2.5 games against teams that are ranked in the last CFP ranking, and they’ve been out scored 71-0.
 
Ed and Dolph are on a roll. Here are the first half highlights from the dazzling duo:
1. Did you know you can get your cannabis card from your local veterinarian? Credit Ed for that slip of the tongue.
2. After Tory Taylor set the record for most punting yards, Dolph mentioned that he broke the record set by Michigan State in 1938. Ed replied “they must have had a poor team,too.”
3. They are advertising vasectomies. Dolph says “get snipped before you watch or listen to the next Hawk game.”
 
With a quarterback recovering from food poisoning, thrown into his fist power five game in what should have been his redshirt year, yeah.

And they still barely won. Best part is they continue to regress. And I believe our offense has some growth and upside
Food poisoning was the Ohio game.

Most Hawkeye fans I know understand how terrible they actually are. They knew they were going to get slaughtered in the B1G championship game, and they don't care about today's game, even knowing half of Tennessee is sitting out. They like the good record but know the West division isn't real. They have a lot of trepidation about where they will stand starting next year.

Huh? Unless I’m confused, Rocco didn’t have food poisoning vs Iowa and isn’t a true freshman.
 
Yes, did you notice our offense in the Ohio game the following week? Our offense was pathetic to start the year, and has been up and down since.

I am not sure how you could not think our offense was pathetic at that point. All our young guys were still figuring out what they were doing at that point.
Trust me I did believe our offense was crap then. That was the point.

Sometimes in games like this I start to wonder how much of Iowa's vaunted defense can be chalked up to opponents knowing that getting 17 points is like scoring 48, and calling the game accordingly?
 
Have these announcers not watched an Iowa game all year? They seem shocked at how bad Deacon Hill is.

Watch Iowa still win this.

You actually listen to those 2? Why?
