Just saw where all the teams in the BIG West and 2 in the East are averaging under 25 points( offense, defense, and special teams). Maybe BF can become anOC or head coach for other BIG teams.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

On 2GNC they often talk about this but the style of play kind of enables several teams to embrace it rather than moving with the rest of the sport. They suggest, and I agree, that the infusion of offense from the west coast is more likely to change those B10W teams than the other way around.

Well, unfortunately, we've scored 191 points in eight games ourselves. Will need 34 pts + Saturday to hit the 25 average.

ISU has scored 30, 13, 7, 34, 20, 27, 30 and 30. Iowa has scored 24, 20, 41, 0, 26, 20, 15, 10.
If you throw out the high and low score games, ISU is averaging 25 points per game and Iowa is averaging 19.16 point per game. A one touchdown (missed extra point) or two field goals per game difference.

In addition, if you look at the number of points over the last four games ISU is averaging 26.75 vs Iowa 17.75. ISU offense has been improving in conference play vs Iowa offense getting worse.

Saying that it’s easier to score against big 12 teams than MAC and Big ten teams might not be the flex you think it is.

Iowa still sucks though

You do realize 1/3 of the offense had food poisoning for the Ohio game. And 13 against a top 5 defense and best defense in the big10W is not the same as playing Illinois, indiana, purdont, wisconsin, and I'm sorry but Michigan state.

Those are the only 2 outliers and they are bringing the average down considerably.

They are trending over 25 against similar defenses to most of the big 10. Except Baylor. Baylors defense is garbage. I'd love a Crack at the big 10w plus Michigan state.

Dude it’s a MAC team, you shouldn’t lose to a MAC team. Sparty is trash this year, most of the west is breaking in new coaches. Again Iowa sucks but this is a wild thread when you lost to that team, a mac team, and scoring under 25.

Again, glass houses.

Say what you want. IT's an outlier and by a large margin due to something easily explained. If you want to blindly follow a false narrative, have at it.

Ohio has a top 20 scoring defense, which is better than more than 3/4 of the big 10 defenses. They smoke sparty by about 60 spots and half of the west this year.

Whole point is the big 10 has garbage offenses outside of the big 3. 10 is garbage this year and doesn't look to be improving.

ISU scores 40 on you skirt wearing losers

When is an Iowa fan going to blame the dumpster fire in the big 10 west on the Michigan cheating scandal?

I haven't watched a single play by MSU all season. MSU played two non-conference games before Mel Tucker was suspended. Just looking at the scores, it seems like MSU performance took a nose dive after Tucker was suspended. The first two games were against non P5 so that has a lot to do with the scores. If Tucker was still the MSU head coach, and the off field incident not happened, would MSU performance still be as bad as it currently is? Or did getting rid of Tucker sunk the team's morale and motivation to play?

Do yourself a favor and continue to not watch lol. Our schedule was one of the hardest in the country pre season so we were never going to be great. Probably have wins against Iowa and Rutgers since those were 100% losses on the HC. Some of the other scores might have been closer and maybe the Minn or Maryland game is a toss up but really at the most it’s 3 extra wins.

Sparty still has to get obliterated by OSU/PSU this year as well.

Or maybe an extremely young (even younger than they expected to be because of the gambling thing) team needed a little time to develop. And you used "teams" like ISU played a whole roster of teams in those leagues.

Teams is right from a grammatical perspective but I totally get your point.
