Given the fact you shouldn't dwell in the past (as in our terrific regular season), if a leprechaun doesn't shit out lucky charms on the field, this will qualify as my worst Iowa memory ever.

No McCaffery is not that good. He has elite vision, good speed and gets great team blocking/holding from his teammates.
Credit Shaw and his staff for the job they've done making McCaffery look good.
the heart ripping loss to MSU was much better than this beating. Feel sorry for the loyal Iowa fans that travelled so far and spent the bucks to get treated to this effort. Team needs some more speed.
Didn't say awesome, said better than last year. And you can't say they aren't better than last year.
Yeah, nothing but a bunch of damn over-achievers if you ask me.
Looks like Cowherd was right all along.... Iowa is a fraud. Close games against a weak schedule should have been a warning. Then the close loss to MSU meant nothing considering how the Spartans got clobbered by Alabama.
Make some trips to South Florida and grab a couple of these kids that get passed over by the big time Florida schools. They might not be real tall, but they'll definitely stretch the field for you.
That's mostly because they're either slipping on the field or not seeing the open cutback lanes until it's too late and they end up stumbling or take too long to hit it and end up allowing the defense time to wrap up or get an arm on them.
Out coached, plain and simple, this is not really about about team speed. This team was not ready to play football.
Stop. Just stop. You are embarrassing yourself. No one "makes" a player look that good. He is an elite player who probably should have won the Heisman.
Yeah, the Stanford OL is huge and athletic and those are big holes and I would think Iowa guys shouldn't be falling down so much. Stanford has perfected the art of holding and clipping without being called. On top of it, they are just a lot better.
No one remembers the Tennessee game. It was the taxslayer bowl for crying out loud. Nobody watched or cared. This one is different though. Embarassing.
I'm just asking as it would be a good trivia question at Buffalo Wild Wings or someplace like that.
I don't see definitive proof other than the record on our weak schedule. We are marginally better than last year, and everything I said about our egos being inflated by the number of wins and all this "new kirk" nonsense still applies. We are the same team that was getting whipped in the first half of the bowl game last year.
Just because their coach looks like Tiger Woods doesn't mean they're trying to be hip.

Shocker: Iowa fans are booing the Stanford band and their Farmers Only/cow performance. No one could have anticipated that.

We can't give CJ enough time to throw it deep. What we really need is someone to pick up the blitzes or start running more hot routes across the middle and turn them into big plays.
Maybe the heart ripping loss took a greater toll on the team's psyche than revealed? So painful we've shown so poorly today.
Tbh it actually reminds me of what Wisconsin does/did with their blocking schemes.
Ferentz football is about mid to low level bowls, this team does not belong in the Rose bowl.
So besides the Ga Tech bowl game and maybe the LSU game (even though it came down to one Hail Mary play), when has KF outclassed his opponent in a bowl game?
Maybe add the first UF game
Yeah actually you can. And I'll stop when Iowa wins this game....otherwise enjoy.
Good, you answered your own question. That Florida game isn't a maybe...
Stanford fan here. Thats funny because we actually have a lot of cows on our campus and call it the Farm. In a way it is a dig at ourselves as well. Didn't see it though as the tv panned out and I couldn't figure out why excpet that our band might being stupid again.
