Iowa's Defense

How good is the Iowa defense truly? Look at the level of offenses they faced this season.
Think we saw last night what the deal was. The big ten defenses were not that great, they just had some really horse crap offenses to go against
How good is Iowa's defense? Apparently not good enough to beat Iowa State.
During the playoff game last night, the biased ESPN announcers admitted that a big reason for Michigan's amazing statistic regarding their second half dominance this season is the fact that several of their conference opponents have below average offenses.
I'd like to hear that clip. I didn't notice when I watched the game. I mean, it's true. B1G offenses are really bad, like comically bad.How good is Iowa's defense? Apparently not good enough to beat Iowa State.

It was said, also when you play against a Freshman qb who couldnt hit water if he fell out of a boat is not impressive.
It's a WBB and volleyball league!

Blackledge said it & I was quite shocked. Basically said Michigan played 3 legit offenses all season: Ohio State, Purdue & TCU - so really admitted they played 1 team during the regular season with a pulse on offense. I'm thinking Blackledge's contracts will not be renewed after that.
Iowa's punter was beyond ridiculous. Almost half of his punts were inside the 20, which is a solid stat. Considering their offense would have trouble moving the ball even across the street, that's an incredible stat.
I haven't found a stat for punts inside the 10 or 5, but I knew he had A LOT this season. Did a quick twitter search looking at journalist tweets & dates. Tweets left and right in different weeks about it. He had to have averaged at least 1 per game inside the 10 if not almost 1 per game downed inside the 5!
Iowa is always good at producing turnovers and getting occasional defensive TDs. Not on par with this years production, but still what they did wasn't completely shocking I guess. Their defense scored as many TDs as they did passing TDs.
Regardless of quality of offenses faced, Iowa did its usual defense and special teams thing.

Many could argue that Iowa State had a better defense. Why? ISU ayed much better offenses and had very similar rankings with Iowa
This is the correct answer. And Michigan getting exposed by TCU is further proof the Big 10 defenses were way overrated.
I'm not sure I've ever seen such a difference maker at the punter position. He's like singlehandedly won them a few games flipping field position. I'm sure it's more noticeable because they have absolutely no offensive weapons.
