I didn't like the part where Maryland got over 100 yards in the last minute.

That’s the kind of game that makes me giggle when I hear ISU fans say they’d beat us if we played now. That defense that held them to 3 points and complete stagnation? It’s better and deeper now.

I usually hate the games where the coaches’ plan is obviously to win carefully. But this one was never in doubt and it simply didn’t feel like those 10-7 or 13-6 games that GDGD gave us. (Fuck that guy.) I actually enjoyed this game.

Kind of glad Nate didn't play his best today. Brian will be up in his shit this week & I'll be surprised if Nate doesn't whip out the hammer next week in HV.

So is Hankins healthy or we really doing this with Riley Moss?

I think that's now frowned upon there.

Lots of lateral and behind the LOS passes today. Brian called things very conservatively, but he didn't have to do otherwise since the run game was shoving it down Mary Land's throat. It felt like Maryland had the ball for less time than the clock showed, total defensive dominance.

Good win the week before Penn State. Plenty to work on in the pass game but hopefully end up ok on the injury front and with some good confidence on both sides of the ball.

The pass game is fine. The wind was/is brutal today. Iowa called the game pretty much the only way they could today.

Yeah nothing that matters long term. It did get Nate kind of wacked out though. After that first pick he was very indecisive and tentative.

I like the improvement by Brandon Smith over the last 4 or 5 games - that was an awesome TD catch today. We get some weapons at WR, along with the TEs, and the running game opens up. Here we go.

Hell of a performance on the line. Alaric Jackson dancing to Biggie at the end of the third was fun to see.

I had PSU as a for sure loss before the season. Now I’m pretty damn confident we can win.

What’s better for us? A dejected penn state team with two straight losses or having them win today?

Doesn't matter we're winning that game either way

I wouldn’t mind seeing all of them get sexually assaulted.

Iowa scores 40 if no wind
Yeah play calling was good under the circumstances but ultra conservative and you could tell the wind was in Stanley's head. He airmailed almost everything and looked really tentative. Missed at least two TDs

It's not really anything interesting, we had the ball almost the entire game and kept things about as conservative as we possibly could. It was a nice performance under the circumstances but isnt going to tell you much about future games
