This Decade: Zero Wins At Home Vs Wisconsin

Can't stand this stat. We should be able to hold our own at home at least. We used to bully them at home and we regressed. Now they bully us and show no signs of turning back. Our program has not progressed and theirs has.
 
Wisconsin rarely beats themselves. They are the gold standard for non blue bloods.

Last night was a hell of a battle. Iowa did a lot of things well and should have won the game. Special teams cost them the game.

That's the difference. Wisconsin played nearly mistake-free football. Whether you chalk that up to coaching, I don't know.

Wisconsin did not play nearly mistake-free football. Wisconsin committed way too many penalties (8 for 68 yards) and blew a coverage on the first Fant TD

Really it came down to the timing/situations of Iowa's mistakes
 
and thus the complete lack of respect for our program from the Wisconsin POV. Most fans 30 and younger think Iowa is a doormat program, or so I was told yesterday.

I can agree with that.

Iowa had a couple blown coverages themselves. In the end, as you alluded to, Iowa made crucial mistakes and Wisconsin did not.
