****Offficial Granddaddy of them all Iowa vs. Stanford Rosebowl game thread****

Well alright. things looking up. Think we got at least one first down in that offensive set. unbelievable
 
they are not this good and Iowa is not that bad. Just like last night Alabama is not that much better than MSU. Its all about the coaching. Saban had bama ready. Same today; KF did not have this team ready. Yes three big plays have been most of the scoring but Iowa looks like they do not belong on the same field.
5 star vs no star. Guts vs no guts. We never play anyone in order to find out how we measure up until a bowl game. you need to play someone early to find out what you have & what you don't. This will never change, however.

Well don't let this buzz go to waste. Go get a nice frustration screw at half time. If you light a candle, it counts as an offering to the gods. Maybe it will help the hawks. Couldn't hurt.

At this point, all you can hope for is a Stanford turnover to get ya some points or Iowa can hold them where they are at at put themselves within a score or two headed into the 4th.
 
Can't stop 5 and can't block anyone...pretty much the exact worse thing that could have happened

Actually, Bama IS that much better. They didn't even have to run the ball to take the soul of MSU.

I agree we are not as bad as we look, but we are outclassed. We over achieved in soft B1G and MSU for most part was same.

OSU and Stanford would be a close game. Iowa would probably also get rolled by Notre Dame given the way we are playing today.
 
They are smothering the short routes and daring us to throw deep. CJ has to go deep. O line is also getting its arse kicked.
 
Not to make excuses, but it's obviously the Rose Bowl is a bowl game like no other, with all the festivities going on leading up to it, and Stanford has been in this game recently and it looks like they've figured out how to balance dealing with those festivities and focusing on the game as well. Rose Bowl "experience" has helped them tremendously.
 
Someone needs to make a run to the Nike store and get better cleats for the team. They are sliding around like crazy. I thought we were embarrassed the last few times to the rose bowl....this is an epic beatdown.

I know Iowa is getting their butts whipped on the field but these penalties/no penalties are ridiculously skewed
