Yes, Iowa IS better than our 3rd team QB and our 2nd team offensive line. Congratulations!
Now that is how rivalries are made! It hurts so bad to lose that excuses spread like wildfire. Bad coach, bad players, bad turnovers, bad fans, bad AD, bad, bad, bad...................
Losing, especially as bad as Nebraska did, should make for a good "fire in the belly" when you come to Iowa City next year. I can assure you that game will mean more to Nebraska fans than what they are willing to admit. If Iowa wins next year will it be a legit rivalry? If Iowa wind will it just be because of a bad coach, bad players, bad turnovers, bad fans, bad AD, bad, bad, bad...................
Lets call it what it is, a rivalry in the making! We are tired of you rubbing past successes in our faces, and now it is our time! Who knows, maybe next year our time will continue? Maybe Nebraska will come to Iowa City and reverse the tables and beat the crap out of the Hawkeyes. That said, maybe the Hawks will win. Either way, it will be a great buildup to a great game, even if the faithful do not want to admit it.
BTW, somebody commented on Iowa's lack of total offensive yards. The only reason that we did not have more was because of the endzone! If we would have taken the ball at our own 10 every possession, we would have had a ton of yards!
Oh yea, this is definitely a rivalry in the making! Hopefully both sets of fans can enjoy the ride!
No question field position played a part in the overall outcome. Westerkamp fair catching at the 1yd line was one of the more befuddling things Ive witnessed. Better believe were coming to Kinnick with a vengeance.
