My son had the same jersey. Why can you only get the number 1 on the authentic Iowa jerseys anymore btw?

What the hell are you talking about? You can get whatever number you want.

My game thoughts:

1. Kaleb J must have been in trouble. Not even a snap in the first half.

2. Kaleb B, VanderZee and Gill (with a little Wetjen) could be an actually good/productive receiving corps.

3. Defense is awesome and, except at DT, deep.

4. Don’t love Cade, but he showed some grit when things looked very bad. We need to take more shots - it may be what he does best despite having a meh arm.

He was. Suspended first half for probably being late to team activities. Same with Jaziun

Also Kirk was reportedly perturbed Kaleb opted out of NCAA 2025.

Rewatching the first half, a lot of it was just Cade struggling. Hopefully he got whatever the hell that was out of his system.
TYFYS - I don't think I could re-watch that mess without poking my eyes out.

It was called back but cade has a scramble in the 3rd that was encouraging. this was his first real game in a while.

Moulton is a solid backup and running game was not the problem in the first half.

Gus looks so old and out of shape that I’m surprised he can even walk without assistance.

I had to eat words spoken in the first half when Cade came out in the second and proved he wasn't a total cripple.

Very encouraging. This defense doesn't need a whole lot from the other side.

This was the best quarterbacked half of football Iowa has had in years. Maybe half a decade.

I understand we were playing an FCS school but neither Bacon not Spencer would have had the same result.

It’s a positive. I hope that Kirk being gone wasn’t part of the reason we looked so good.

I believe Gus is two years older than me.

We will likely one day watch our boys face off under the Friday night lights while resting quietly in our wheelchairs.
