I’ve enjoyed about 2/3 of the team immensely. And no I don’t expect better against Michigan and Ohio State. They are out of our league, as you said, the last two years because of the offense. I expect better against South Dakota State (3 points), Iowa State (7 points), Illinois (6 points), Minnesota (13 points), Nebraska (17 points), Wisconsin (17 points), Kentucky (7 points).
Iowa has got blown out five times the last two years against teams they had no shot of beating because of the offense (Purdue 21, Wisconsin 21, Michigan 21, Michigan 22, Ohio State 22). Or they were in dog fights with teams they couldn’t score against without immense defensive or special team help (Iowa State 21, Colorado State 21, Northwestern 21, SDSU 22, Iowa State 22, Illinois 22, Minnesota 22, Wisconsin 22, Nebraska 22).
