After rewatching the Wisc game I am more encouraged for the rest of this year. There were numerous runs by both Leshon and Kaleb that were very close to breaking for long runs. Just a missed tackle, missed block and a defense not respecting the pass. Also, I did not see Wisc coming close to a big play or, except for their early drive that CDJ stuffed Braelon on 4th down, they never really came close to a TD. I do believe that Wisconsin is the best team (except for Penn St.) that Iowa will play this year. I believe Wisconsin was ready for the game to be over. Iowa's D seemed to be getting stronger as the game went on--Most physical defensive effort of the year by Hawks.

Especially Castro he set the tone for sure he looks much bigger this year
We were definitely more physical than Wisconsin and that was great to see. Both lines were, and that’s a recipe for success.
Wisconsin was pushed around by Washington st. Wash st beats Iowa by 2 TDs easy.
Wisconsin is not a good team right now,.. they haven't been good for a few years.
Let them pretend it was one of Barry’s Rose squads or BB from the year of the fake punt when he outstrategized Cirt so badly it wasn’t funny.
Michigan, OSU, Penn State are the best in Big. Is Iowa the 4th best team in B1G? That Wisconsin team was way-down in both defense and offense from previous vintage Wisconsin teams. I do agree the recent signs of a run game for Iowa are encouraging, but the passing game is discouraging.
Well it was a 2 point game going into the 4th. WSU had 86 yards rushing for the game.
Pushed around?
Not so much.
I was not aware we’re playing the Cougars??
And yet they'll likely beat Debbie again just like Minnesota did. Again.
There we go. I knew it would come when we beat them. Wisconsin sucks. Big Ten West sucks. Iowa sucks.
Lol. You got beat by a team with no defense (Prime).
SuckinHimselfHusker with yet another gem. Your trolling has really gone downhill, not that it was ever any good. That Hawkeye win Saturday must've had you curled up in the fetal position in the corner of your double-wide.
I do not know a team called Debbie. Sounds like something a 12 year old girl would make up.
I did not get beat by anyone.
Based on your posts, I'm sure you had a lifetime of people beating on you. Pretty basic psychology.
Most impressive part about Castros game was how sure he tackled. I recall multiple times where he made the tackle short of the first down - and that’s the difference between iowas defense vs others. Sure, open field tackling. Hard to quantify with recruiting stars, but it’s an absolute difference making ability!
Castro was another recruit whose high school film was a man amongst boys.
It’s like clockwork with that tool, so predictable. Can you imagine living that way?
BlowinHawkeyeguys lied three times here
Iowa is adding Patterson tomorrow. The interesting thing BF did catch on to Saturday was not giving up on the run. This may sound like an obvious conclusion with Iowa’s run game. But in the past, Iowa would give up on the run and pass. I think Kirk or Brian saw Iowa’s line having their way and stayed with it—-paid off.
