Recent experience has them losing to NU, IU, UW, MSU, and then upsetting PSU and Purude, but then losing to Minnesota.
BTW - who is this Ritter guy? Never heard of him, but glad he put this list together. It really offers a lot of information. /sarcasm
I'm not sure how much research he did, because he seems to think that Iowa returning all of it's offensive line is a good thing. This is a team that was last in the conference in total offense, scoring offense, and sacks allowed. They were second to last in rushing and passing offense. It was one of the worst offenses in the nation. How can you think anyone returning on this unit is a strength?
