Surprised by how much more talent has than us

2 mins decided this game.
They just had better big plays. The fumble for a TD the 45 yard QB scramble, the almost safety, and the punt return for 50 yards were huge.

WR (#89 ontheir team was really good) and Punter. Their kicker had a leg, however. From my angle I couldn't tell, but did that kick go through the goalpost?
Overall, our D played quite well, they gave up too many big plays, but I'm still optimistic for that group!
The offense on the other hand, was completely offensive!

The first three halves of this year have shown me we have talent. We competed with them. You have to worry about the emotional tank a few games down the road though.....Those 4 punts in a row were brutal in second half. Red flags going up big time there.
Anyway....back at the OP.....I am actually surprised that our program has injected some nice talent and they did well on individual plays. both sides, but mostly on defense. O-line had good moments of pass protection.
Just now remembering that 50 yard pass play in second half.....why on earth would you ever rush only 3 people? Seriously.

Didn't we give up like 500 yards of offense to Big 10 west team? We might have played well comparatively to ourselves. The sacks are fool's gold.
Dude Iowa is a decent team with a good D they will win 8-9 games. There is a lot more talent on this team than last couple years
I didn't feel they were faster or stronger necessarily. Just made bigger plays. They weren't offensively inept.
I agree. The fact they had less talent than ISU was a surprising amount. Can only imagine what Iowa's staff would do with CPR's roster.
That walkon WR for Iowa was clutch though. How many former walkons start for Iowa? Those natives getting up to beat ISU was huge.

Are you kidding? Nearly 500 yards and 31 points to a pretty mediocre or worse offense is playing well? Never mind we got horsed hard up front in the running game.
Yards has to be one of the most overrated stats in football. Yeah, we gave up 500 yards of offense. Until the last 5 minutes of the game they were virtually empty yards.
