Iowa will be the best team ISU has faced since the Notre Dame, in the CWB.

Goodsen can be somewhat of an equalizer and I think he, along with their good defense, can and will keep them in this game.
But Brock Purdy > Spencer Petras in every single way. This is a big game for Brock and the passing attack, I think we need some chunk plays to keep their D honest and spring Breece.
I personally think UNI's "A" game can beat Iowa.
I think you need to rewatch the Iowa game.
They are no where close to where ND was then or now for that matter. We're the better team with better players (more AA's, more 1st team all conference players, etc). Oh, and we have 4 players on the Water Camp watchlist. 'Bama, Clemson and ND have 2 each for comparison.
Iowa played no one last year and beat the teams that they should've. The B1G was really bad last season too. Their "greatest win streak of all time in college football" was against sub .500 teams save Wisco I believe.
We'll win this game. If we play well it could be by 2 or 3 TD's. If we play like we did vs UNI, then it'll be a squeaker. I swear, the posters poor-mouthing ISU and its talent in this thread are infuriating. And most are ISU fans for crying out loud.

They don't have the length and speed ND did at WR but other than that, they look like ND physically. ND was a game where we physically whipped. Iowa is going to be a major challenge. They are comfortable in tight games, keeping close, then waiting to capitalize on a mistake. I worry Purdy will turn it over once or twice. Iowa also has the ability to hit on a big play just when they need it. They are not afraid to take shots, the thing is can Petres hit on them. I find it hard to believe we are going to score more than 20 on Iowa, our defense is going to some how have win it for us. We we struggle scoring TDs against Iowa unless it is from far away. Doing a sustained drive and getting it to the red zone it where we stall, either with a mistake like a false start, a penalty, turnover, or FG attempt. We struggles against UNI last time and against an Iowa defense that is not as good as this one could only score 16 points.
OU is not the only team that would clear that bar…
Kinda crazy that Purdy is a Senior, 4 year starter that has never missed a game from injury and has only played Iowa once.
They don't look like Notre Dame 2019 physically.
The top 4 or 5 teams the last several years have been on a different physical level than the rest of the college football and Notre Dame is one of them.
OP might be right
But I doubt it
on paper ISU should win , but it will probably be a close tough game
Iowa‘s defenses sub 25 point consecutive game record is more impressive than this board gives them credit for

Sure. But who have they played in that time? It absolutely is impressive because sometimes you even can let bad teams track race with you for a while. But when was the last time they played Ohio State? How many actual good offenses have they played?
To be fair to the OP, he wasn’t saying Iowa was as good as ND. OP is saying Iowa is better than OU from last year, which is pretty bold.
His back up from last season is, but whatever. I don’t get how denigrating what they bring to the table elevated what we have, or think we have
