The reverse trash talk has already started! I think Nebraska will be able to put together a solid game plan to limit Iowa’s offense.You'll score 30 on us in Mickey's last game as head coach. Write it down. Historically bad vs. historically bad. Something has to give. It's usually us.
But they played the Iowa offense. Doesn't that distort the stats?I was gonna make this it's own thread, but I suppose this is as good a place as any. As the OP mentioned, here are the current rankings for every team on our schedule in terms of just total defense:
South Dakota State 3rd (FCS)
Iowa State 10th
Nevada 76th
Rutgers 7th
Michigan 5th
Illinois 1st
Ohio State 2nd
Northwestern 97th
Purdue 44th
Wisconsin 33rd
Minnesota 12th
Nebraska 124th
So we've faced 5 teams in the top 10, and 6 if you count SDSU. And 9 teams in the top 50 (including SDSU) in total defense.
Yes, our offense would suck regardless of who we play..............but this schedule certainly hasn't helped.
Keep in mind that playing Iowa has immensely helped the defensive ranking of the teams we have playedI was gonna make this it's own thread, but I suppose this is as good a place as any. As the OP mentioned, here are the current rankings for every team on our schedule in terms of just total defense:

if we lose saturday, we might not end up as the greatest 3 win team ever...We will really get some perspective if the Hawks drop the game this weekend vs. Northwestern. This is the angriest the fan base has ever been. The boo-birds will be out in full force Saturday for any and all incompetence on the offensive side of the ball. Will be a beautiful Homecoming game. If Iowa loses, as 10 point favorites against a 1-win team with a 6-game losing streak that hasn't won on American soil, I swear the program is going to burn.
We went 4-1 last year in the last five and our offensive line was younger and our defense wasn't as good as it is this year. Let it play out.
Except when we aren't. Like 2020...we weren't young then.We’re young is the eternal excuse at Iowa.
