You have to be kidding me! Getting kicked around this bad by a suckass team that won ONE GAME LAST YEAR AGAINST MIGHTY RUTGERS! No excuses, piss poo coaching, poor execution on both sides the the F’ING ball! Horrid!!! Long long season a head this is really bad though as you are witnessing stupid mental errors etc off sides blah blah ..

Probably one of the worst I have seen.

This is why young teams suck to watch. One week they can beat the #1 team in the country and the next week they would have problems beating Wartburg.

Dam* Penn State for making us think we were better than we are.

Flat

entire offense blows......again!

Having a Division II punter and a punt returner with a Jonathan Parker-level football IQ doesn't help.

Absolutely brutal performance. Atleast now I'll expect the loss and won't be let down.

Lots of problems with this team. That was a poorly played game by Iowa. However, it's hard to win on the road. I still think Iowa will clean some things up and be a pretty tough team by the end of the year.

The hangover effect was very real today, btw.

The offense is a decroded piece of crap, but we just need to clean up a few things...

It gets easier as the losses pile up. I've said that for years. Losing can actually make fandom easier.

The defense played well enough to win, even without forcing any TO. But the fumbles and awful punt game blew it for us. You just can't go -2 and have a crap punt game, go on the road and win

What about the offense and running game or lack that of? I'd say that had something to do with it.

How many years are we going to keep checking to a stretch play to the short side of the field before we figure out that defenses know it's coming?

Totally agree, the PSU game gave me hope, now is back to the reality of a 6-6 season.

Well this is at least year 4, although I may not have caught on as early as others. I just remember sitting in the stands at Maryland and pulling my hair out watching that play to Weismann over and over again. I remember thinking GDGD needed a one-way ticket back to Austin after that game, and I was very happy that CJB didn't just go straight home to Nashville, because I'm sure he wanted to.
