Iowa always wanted to play this game early in the season because it favors them......If you want to beat Iowa hire McCarney ...Hells bells even Paul Rhoads beat Iowa twice .....
Why is "early in the season" better for Iowa? This makes no sense. It didn't bother Seneca and his crew.

Mac most definitely put a priority on that game. I don’t want to go back to the days of beating Iowa and then getting annually raw dogged by teams like OU and Tx (not that we have to worry about that much longer but the point remains).

So does Campbell. To claim anything else is a made-up lie to cope with another Iowa loss.

Let's face it.......we still have way too many people stuck in the "at least we beat Iowa" camp. Like it's still 1997. When Seneca beat Iowa they went on to win a share of the Big Ten and play in the Orange Bowl against USC. We went on to lose to UCONN at the Jack then get blasted by Boise State in the "Smurf Bowl" and ended the year 6-6. Who do you think felt better at the end of the year? I guess we still could say....."we beat Iowa" as some worthless consolation prize.

I would love that we finally do both, but to drown in a mug of beer tonight knowing what this team could still accomplish this year is a bit much IMO.

Face it, we also had the second best defense today.
Their secondary is definitely better but I won’t agree with the front seven. Our defense was fantastic pretty much all game aside from the offense gagging up the football and putting them in many no-win situations.

The one thing I will say is we have to figure out how to produce some turnovers. I know statistically they are luck, but Iowa’s defense forces turnovers while ours is great at forcing punts.

Everyone ******** is a sorry ass ***** f*ck.

Get a life and get real. Campbell is a hell of a coach w/ a Sept weakness. We knew it and now feel it, but still a great coach who will turn this around.

4 turnovers and lost special teams, other wise owned the game stats show it. Can't win q/ 4 t/O's.

And quit giving these guys material!

Next year we'll graduate everybody, be ranked middle of the pack, Hawks top 10, and we'll break the streak. Chiz wizish.

Is it just me or doesn’t our three defensive linemen never put hands up to try to deflect the pass. If they do I guess I just miss it.
