Iowa game looms huge.
And it won't be NUIOA 10, Wiscky 6
Somebody will be unranked soon....perhaps IOA will take their place.
Right. They looked way over-rated at #2...should drop in the rankings (depending on how everyone else does).MSU didn't look hot either - 3 point win over Purdue at home.
Iowa did not look all of that good in the win. While any win against Wisconsin is good, Iowa got 4 turnovers and only scored 10 points. And the key turnover was caused by Iowa's offensive guard and quarterback miscue.Right. They looked way over-rated at #2...should drop in the rankings (depending on how everyone else does).
Correct. Typo. The point being that the Iowa D did not directly cause the turnover that saved the game for them.Wisconsins guard and QB, not Iowa. Wisconsin was on the Iowa 1 yard line going in for the go ahead score when the guard backed into stave, stepped on his foot and tripped him ultimately causing a fumble
Uh, Stanford is known for their physical offensive line. They have everyone but one tackle back from last year and NU's defensive line put it to them! Should be a great game in two weeks. Hope both teams are unbeaten!30 plus mile hour winds certainly didn't help either of the passing attacks of Iowa or Wisky, but Iowa found a way to grind it out. I'm curious, haven't watched much of North_estern games yet this year, but has their defense faced a real physical o-line yet? Living in MN, I know that the gophers are really banged up in the o-line.
Wisconsin managed 234 passing yards so the wind did not seem to bother them as much as Iowa.30 plus mile hour winds certainly didn't help either of the passing attacks of Iowa or Wisky, but Iowa found a way to grind it out.

Actually, that isn't true. Iowa's goal line D takes Nate Meier, the 6'2 250 lb DE and puts him at NG because he is so quick. He beat the guard to the spot and caused him to step back and quicker than he normally would. If you watch the replay, Meier met the RB a split second after he would have taken the hand off.Correct.

Fair enough assessment. I have argued many times here that an offense can be made to look bad by a defensive play being made. I was not looking as closely as you.Actually, that isn't true.

So it wasn't completely unforced. Still very fortunate on Iowa's part however
