10 wins -7 pts agaist ranked opponents.

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?
This is a huge factor. As is the fact that Iowa drains the clock.

While KF likes to defend his offense with the whole complimentary football thing. That works both ways and for opponents too, and why their defense is not as good as people think. It’s good, no doubt. Very good. But it’s not elite. It’s mostly facing bad offenses and the opponents knowing they can take the air out once up two scores.
 
I feel like these announcers have not watched any Iowa games this year.

"Hill not playing very well today"

No this is his normal.

"if you like punts this is the game for you"

Duh!
 
Floorislava played well. Tennessee has a player to look forward to.
 
Hok fans going all 'Good for the state' after a couple of first downs.
