It was a 2 possession game and they had the ball.

Top10 matchup against in-state rival at home on national tv, and everyone just quit?? Pathetic. They deserve the L

Iowa had 173 yards of offense today.

They are not a playoff team.

They have looked really good the last couple weeks.

They should be ranked in the top 5 after this weekend.

27 points and not going to rack up the yards when the D gives you a short field all day long.

It was a full crowd until Iowa busted it open in the third. It wasn't a two score game until very very late which by that time everyone knew it was over

Iowa is not pretty but the do not beat themselves. They will methodically wear down their opponents.

Good shot for a top 25 match up with Maryland in three weeks.

Short field or not, 2.8 yards per play is not good.

Why preseason rankings suck. Iowa State had no business being a Top-10 team after squeaking by UNI.

Nonetheless, Iowa has the best wins in the B1G through two weeks. A division title this year ties them with NW for second-most in the West.

No, Iowa goes through 4-5 year cycles. Weak favorable schedule and they go to a good bowl vs an elite team and get completely embarrassed. The next year they fall back to 8-5.

Iowa’s team is completely loaded with 3 star players. They need an easy schedule to have a great record.

Sure. They’ll go 12-0 then get blown out by 45 in the playoff game. I feel like I’ve seen this before.


You’ve seen that before from Michigan State in 2015. Who just so happened to beat 12-0 Iowa in the Big 10 Championship game.

Iowa definitely isn't the flashiest team but they play hard, disciplined football and don't really beat themselves. Yesterday was an impressive win. That was a hostile environment against a good football team.

Kirk does a really good job there, and every time he wins 8-9 games, he renegotiates his deal. He's renegotiated so many times, that in latest deal, he gets use of the States private plane.

He ain't ever leaving
