How does one logically explain the highs and lows of the OSU win and the UW debacle?

Much of it is home field advantage, I’m convinced. Momentum is huge in college football. When a good defense is at home with the crowd behind them, they can get on a roll, get the opposing offense out of rhythm, build momentum, and just roll. Throw in an inexperienced, young QB, receivers who struggle to catch the ball, and a punter who can’t help you with field position, and voila — you have today’s game.
Last week doesn’t happen in The Shoe, I think we can all agree. Kinnick was rocking, we got on roll, Barrett was off, and there you have it.

There were how many free runs into the backfield, way too many mistakes across the board. Pretty simple, got a little too caught up on last week's win, didn't prepare very well for this week. Certainly the players, probably from some of the coaches as well. Same thing happens with bowl games, too much celebrating, not enough preparation. Cultural problem.
i think part of it is our youth
playing at home last week and that crowd really helped
playing on the road this week and their crowd had a huge impact
we had the ball and were down just 10 when Daniels snapped the ball, it got fumbled around and Wisconsin took the ball in for a TD

This. If there is one consistent in iowa football its that they are inconsistent
Consistently inconsistent. That's Ferentz and Iowa football plain and simple.
I don’t know, 0-13 on 3rd downs today was pretty damn consistent...
We got whipped today, but man, were we sloppy. Mental mistakes on pretty much every offensive series. Drops, missed blocking assignments, ridiculous turnovers, etc., etc., etc. You’d at least like to see a game effort, but this was just weak.
This team, the last few years((except for 15) has been a turd that wont flush... keeps floating to the top with 1 big win a year.
KF said last weeks game was just to sexy, and they needed to tone it down this week.
That one big win a year is enough for some fans to think KF is close to rightin' the ol ship.
Even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days. That's exactly what happened last Saturday.
KF is nothing but an average coach and that's all he has ever been.
Logic? That game belonged in the bizarro universe. Iowa's defense had 40 more yards than Iowa's offense.
That about sums it up.. we played like dog ass! Too bad we got Woodshed,Wi 53706.. if we would have been able to get Wisky at home this Fan base would have exploded
Chad Leistikow: A new KF-era record for futility: 66 total yards today vs Wisconsin.

Iowa's fewest total yards in a game under Ferentz was 100 at Arizona State in 2004.

Inconsistent. Simple as that. Kirk is not consistent. This team was not ready to play. Defense did all they could to keep us in it. Offense did not show up.
4 words: Kirk Ferentz coached team
Happens all the time and will continue to happen as long as he is there

19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 year olds is the answer
Which is why you shouldn't get too high or too low.
Personally, I think Ohio State came into the game expecting a cakewalk and Iowa came in with an aggressive game plan and played out of their ass to win.
Crazy, but it almost seems like Brian and Kirk looked at the Ohio State film and said, "Well, now that we've found something that works, let's go back to what were familiar with."

This happens a lot! D gets the arse end off of a slow to no motion offense.. wisky D is good but DAM not that good..
Hes really good at certain things and really poor at others.
Hes basically Jeff Fisher. The offense will overall always be average to below with KF.
Fant had a drop on the long pass too. Tough catch but I think he should have had it
Ya, OSU spent alot of energy da week before and did not have their A game, and iowa was jacked.
This week, iowa spent alot of energy against OSU da week before and did not have their A game. And Wisky had something to prove about their "soft" schedule.
Its very tough to bring 2 high energy games back to back.
