re: Aren't LSU and Wisconsin eerily similar teams?

Yes our backup had 62 yards. Did you happen to notice how our starter did?

Yes, he was only 80 yards or so shy of what our starter did.

They were extra keyed on Gordon because he was an Iowa commit for a good chunk of his senior year before reneging and staying home at UW.

Gotcha - same for BYU? or Minny? or OSU?

Last 5 regular season games, he dropped off (1 100 yard game) after tearing up the start of the season (6 of 7 100 yarders).

But yes... I agree that Iowa tried to stop him.

The game is two halves for a reason and yes beating one of our biggest rivals at their place by 3 TDs was kicking their butts.

The fact they are your rivals tells us plenty too.

UW-Iowa games usually finish something like 17-10, 31-30, 21-17. For either team to win by three TD's is rare. The all time series is 43-42-2 UW.

Yes the riveting hearland trophy - Lets see how your scores stack up to reality. IN the 8 games since we have had victory differentials including: 23, 10, 22, 10, and now 19.

So yeah the majority are double digit victories.... and if I go back to '95 the trend would continue.

So yeah, not sure why anyone is tryin to extrapolate a 'rivalry' game anyways (it may shock you but trying to get up for a mediocre bowl against a grossly inferior conference is not exactly an easy task). Running at will against them - sure....
