The talent gap was glaring last night: UCLA was bigger, stronger, and faster across the board. The disappointing part is they were also hungrier.
The Iowa program is just plain stale. Watching them play is like having to spend a Saturday at grandma’s house with no internet or cable TV. All she has to offer is kindness, warm stories from the good old days, hard candy, and a cozy house that reeks of mothballs. You love her, but would much rather be spending the day having fun with your friends, and part of you can’t wait until she dies.
Iowa was slow, plodding, undisciplined, and uninspired last night. How Barnett and Braithwaite still have their jobs is a complete mystery. With all that experience the offensive line is still confused and Charmin soft.
