_______________________________________
I could be wrong Hawk fans but this weekend's giant and convincing upset feels like a springboard to a very successful run .....for the remainder of the 2017 season and beyond. Stanley's performance so far, including his 5 TDs vs. OSU, puts him in strong contention for the greatest season by an Iowa QB in school history. And yet, it seems like this team has considerable room to improve. Still feelin the buzz 40 hours later. On to the contest results.....
We have a repeat champion this week. 34 contest entries but only one graded 8-2 Congratulations to Farleyhawk who returns to the winner's circle with this week's top score. Runner-up spot is taken by Obviously Oblivious (7-3, TB 290) who edged mustang_horsepower (7-3, TB 300) under the Tie-Breaker (TB = 271)
Also, we have a 3-way tie at the top of the hardcore leaderboard leading into the season's final stretch run......
