Wisconsin at #6. Another great opportunity for Iowa in Madison on Saturday which, I presume, will air at 2:30 on ABC.
I was dead wrong about the OSU game. I figured it would be something like 55-24, but with the Hawkeyes on the wrong end of it.
But then Iowa finally unleashed the offense so many of us have been calling for, including even a brilliant trick play, and gee, they got different results. Funny how that happens, even against OSU, after floundering against far lesser opposition.
Once again the Hawkeyes have an opportunity, not just for the rest of this year, but for years to come. But it all hinges on maintaining the kind of play calling we saw yesterday. The ingredients are there, and now everybody knows it.
Give KF and the whole staff credit. But they have to remember how this happened: imaginative, unpredictable offense; passing to open the run; and a little trickeration. It was fun for everyone--but the Buckeyes. Keep that approach and Iowa could be on the road to consistent, serious national ranking that will leave Wisconsin, Northwestern, Michigan State and the rest of the league jealous.
