OK, but momentum is real and the refs left Iowa in a position to be heroes. Down only 10 despite having been dominated 90% of the game up to that point, Iowa took advantage of Indiana's overzealous defense that was trying to fight against the tide of disgusting officiating, leaving two relatively easy throws for Stanzi to connect on two LONG pass plays. After that, Indiana was spent. It was over and everybody knew it. So, two plays the receivers simply outran their coverage and Stanzi made pretty easy throws on crossing routes. That's not exactly the embodiment of mental toughness. But I gather you probably didn't watch the entire game from start to finish. Like I said earlier, without being bent over by the officials, Indiana has a massive lead entering the fourth and Iowa's great mental toughness translates to Stanzi throwing another couple picks and Iowa getting booed out of their own stadium.

wow... a thread about nu's offense becomes a indiana got ripped off thread.
yup.
Indiana lost a td, many will argue two. the replay officials (blind or not) made their decision and life must go on.
but when the game ended, iowa had the most points on the board.
all arguments become moot and alternate results (woulda, shoulda, coulda) become conjecture.
iowa is 9-0 with three games remaining.
I highly doubt they win out.
IMO- if iowa/isu was replayed. the hawks would still win.
easily.
AA and ARob are still banged up and couldn't beat the hawks when they weren't.
but again-- all arguments become moot and alternate results (woulda, shoulda, coulda) become conjecture.
it is what it is.

I think Iowa's season is directly related to Nebraska being Number 9, and you cannot discuss one without the other.

Vince, correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure you will, but you were the first to bring up Iowa. Nebraska's season is disappointing, but there is still hope. I think next year can easily be our breakthrough season. If we get our offense and defense to play at the same level during the season, we will be a top 3 team in the Big XII.

Maybe....but we shouldn't be. NU should be back to NU-like Football by next year. If not - something is seriously wrong.

I dont see how our Offense can improve that much in such a short amount of time. I think we are still a few years away from being BCS bowl team

well right now that only positions on O I would consider average for a top15 or so school is RB and TE. I think the QB can improve to that level(though I am not sold on cody green, mainly because I havent seen him enough) wr and line are not even close right now IMO. sure its possible to be a great team with a mediocre offense, but you have to have an elite defense, which I just dont see us have(although it should be very very good)
