But it's up to NU to grab the respect it wants instead of being the nice kid on the block who is easily bullied. Every league has a team or two that get the short end of the stick when it comes time to distribute short sticks to SOMEONE. We are that someone. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's simple to put in a rotation. The problem is, they then try to work in all these external ideas about what is the most intriguing match ups...etc. That's where things get screwed up. 2 Quote Link to comment

I agree with you- but that didn't happen under Delaney/Alvarez and it's not going to happen under Warren/Alvarez either The problem is when they set these things up so far in advance and things change. You have an Indiana, Minnesota, MSU or even a Shiano Rutgers team that starts to shine. Quote Link to comment

If they simply set in place a rotation, it eliminates the need for that process. Everyone would be playing each team every so often and the same frequency. 2 Quote Link to comment
Caven Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Iowa's permanent crossover has been Penn State so it isn't like we got a nobody - but yeah you got the short stick with OSU. Now for the next rotation we got a nobody with Rutgers Quote Link to comment

Now for the next rotation we got a nobody with Rutgers I'd say you guys are the top team in the B1G right now. I'd even pick you in a matchup w/ OSU. Your D is absolutely stellar. 3 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I actually really hope they keep winning. That we we can crush their hopes when we kick their a$$ in November. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 ESPN's FPI currently gives us a 46.4% chance of beating Iowa. According to that, we're actually the toughest opponent left on Iowa's schedule - #4 Penn State gets a 40.8% chance. https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401282761 https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401282758 1 1 Quote Link to comment

An unranked team with 3 losses has a better chance of beating them than an undefeated team ranked #4. People are noticing that we are better than our record. The team now needs to go prove them right. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska55fan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Iowa- what great fans. BOOING injured PSU defensive players- James Franklin reminded the hillbillys that IOWA does NOT run a Tempo offense. Clueless. https://nittanylionswire.usatoday.com/2021/10/11/james-franklin-on-iowa-fans-booing-injuries-you-dont-run-a-tempo-offense/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NFLdraftmaverickSpooner&fbclid=IwAR1BrW8O00eW_I49cZkPggfKkZi0KFgbfk6HDe8IIPM6JGh9Ntmhwj3n9Nc 1 Quote Link to comment
