________________________________________________________________________
Zero TDs (again), six (6!) turnovers, 158 total yards. Utter futility. This offense has set Iowa football back at least half a century. IDK bring back O'Keefe to finish this disasterous season? Its embarrasing, Hawk fans.
qrtr is on a roll. Not only did qrtr win this week's contest, but he did so impressively by posting a perfect 10-0 score for his 3rd Y/N contest win in the last 4 games. Kudos!
KuwaitHawk (9-1, TB57) very narrowly edged boxahawks (9-1, TB56) and HawkRugged 17 (9-1, TB55) for the Runner-Up spot this week. obfuscating (TB14) also posted 9-1 but was far more pessimestic about Iowa's rushing attack.
With another win, qrtr making a push towards the top of the overall standings where HawkPT still leads...........
