One thing that's nice is I'm not worried about a post-Iowa game hangover next week.

Defense Rules and saves the sorry ST teams/coach and the offense was offensive! Love a win any way we can!
I get that the Iowa offense isn’t good, but you all do know that Iowa’s defense is pretty great, don’t you? I mean…you saw what we did against a bad defense last week.

Not so sure about that. I've been watching Iowa football 40+ years and this is the worst offense and QB I've ever seen... and I weathered Matt Sherman...

Petras was nearly as bad last year. Iowa has played football like this for a while now…. it’s been ugly for a long time. They had no business winning this game last year either if ISU doesn’t self destruct.

I will say…. their OL hasn’t been this bad for a while though.

So lets’s go back to the middle of the 2nd quarter and read what I posted when it was still 7-0 and we had just fumbled at the goal line.

"Not to worry. Two stupid things have happened to us and without that we've got at least 3-0 lead. But we're now outplaying them on both sides of the ball. So without a short field to work Iowa hasn't scored. And without a fumble we do score. So pull back and look at the 10,000 foot view...we're good.”

To which a bunch of negative nellies couldn’t accept it and thought we would still lose. You just have to have a bigger view.

We were ugly ourselves at times but still outplayed them except for four plays. We even outplayed their great defense to a degree. Mark that 99 yard drive down as legendary.

**I'll edit this to add that if there was anybody here that thought we might go out and get 4-5 scores on these guys you were dreaming. They have a great defense. And the fact that we could stick 99 yards on them is pretty amazing. Statistically when drives start with 90 or more yards to go the offense only scores about 6% of the time. I've seen that stat before.
