When our scoring drives only take a couple plays plus a pick 6, the stats are going to look uneven. I hope the talking heads point this out.
 
Iowa played a text book game in how to beat this Nebraska team. Yardage totals don't mean shit or tell the story of the game. We controlled the game, forced Tommy into making decisions, and let Nebraska self destruct. People who know the game and truly understand what it's about would appreciate exactly what Iowa did today. Solid solid performance.
 
You'll have that with bend don't break. Oh, and defensive INTs and ball security don't count. Nebraska really beat us...deal with it.
 
It was blatantly obvious that Iowa was the superior team and in control of this game through out.
 
I'm interested in Game Control to see who really won't todays game. They seemed to be in control and only turned over the ball when convenient to them. Hawks will have to clean that up before next week. Oh well, that's football...
 
Iowa ran just 18 plays in the entire second half. 44 total offensive snaps. The Hawkeyes didn't convert one third down and they still had control for most of the game. It was the second fewest plays in college football by a winning team this season.
 
Guys don't look at the yardage totals! They are not reflective of the game at all. They don't tell the story of the game. Understand football and understand what Iowa did today. It was a controlling performance. We never trailed. Again.
