Hawks win by 29, Huskers lose by 21. That's 50 points of pure bliss...
I was 100% for N winning, but once they decided to lose by 21.... Who cares. Hawks won today and N got truck sticked by Wisconsin's ground game.
A loss for Neb or Wisc is good in my book.
Meh, if we win out and miss Indy by one game, then it wasn't meant to be and/or we only have ourselves to blame.
On the other hand, it is NEVER inappropriate to rejoice in a Nebby defeat.
Yup. I'll take the schadenfreude of little debby losing over the very unlikely chance the Hawks win the West.
We probably need a win vs osu also. Even then we'd need help.
Braska has to play osu/psu, two better teams than mi. Would have been much more likely if braska won. Our odds are really slim now.
I said winning out, which implies, well, exactly that.....including a win over Ohio State, who we are beating this year but shhhhh.
Wisconsin needs to lose to Iowa and Michigan in consecutive weeks or.........OR.........we make new best friends with our most hated rivals in Big Ten Conference history and get Purdue to do the deed next week.
You can't be serious about the West race? It is and has been Wisconsin all the way and we are definitely not getting back into it with 2 losses already and the schedule ahead. That's laughable. We are going to have to fight hard to get to 6-7 wins.
KFs teams are really bad the next game coming off a bye week too so having NW is going to be no easy task.
They are? 4-3 since 2010 after a bye week. Lost last year to Penn State. Hung with OSU in Columbus in 2014. At Penn State in 2012. Not exactly easy games.
No other bye weeks before 2010? I'm too lazy but would like to see KFs record after a bye. NW will not exactly be an easy game either.
So 4-4 after a bye? Beat soundly twice by PSU, lost to a crappy IL team with Shonn Greene and played well against OSU in Columbus.
4-4. Far from "real bad" after a bye week. Heck, even beat Michigan in Ann Arbor after a bye week.
I was wondering when somebody else would come up with this. Blackskirts.. he he he
Perhaps. Iowa's realistic chances at winning the West went out the door by losing to both PSU and MSU. Win 1 of those and Iowa would have had a realistic shot by knocking off Bucky in Madison. Only way it happens now is if Iowa wins out and Wisky loses to Michigan in Madison. Not likely.
Good grief man. The reason Iowa has lost twice this year is not conditioning. Down 10 points in 4th quarter to ISU and win in OT. Down 8 in PSU in 4th quarter and end up losing on last play of game. Outscore Illinois 28-3 in second half. Wisconsin is very good, but they haven't played anyone close to the caliber of Penn State or on the road at MSU.
One could make the argument that Iowa doesn't have good enough players, but that's different than conditioning.
Also need to remember some of these werexwith GDGD.
Zero changes, new looks, new plays, etc.
I wasn't necessarily talking about Iowa defense this year, just in previous meetings with Wisconsin. If you watched the whole W/UNL game it was clear their D was gassed. Wisconsin wears you down so much with their blunt force O throughout a game it's tough for any defense.
17-9 last year, 28-9 '13, 26-24 '14 - they drove right down the field on their final scores.
Built up depth on the line will help to keep fresh.
You are undoubtedly heavily influenced by looking at two games. Horny's passing last night was below average but he does a lot of other things well that keeps him #1 on the depth chart. There are 2 very good frosh behind him, one with a strong arm.
Horny is only a sophomore ( think Tolzienor Sorgi midway in their 2nd season). Chyst sees upside and he knows quarterbacks.
Bucky has plenty of challenges ahead, including two home games against tough opponents.
The Hawks under Kirk historically play better as the conference schedule plays out.
AND, for some odd reason lately, play better against Wisconsin in Madison than Iowa City.
This, I wish we could get our O-line to play with the physicality that the badgers o-line plays with.
