Did what needed to be done. Take care of Buffalo in similar fashion. Roll it up on the ground, make their offense earn it. On to the next!

Cool part is that Vodka Sam paid to get into the game! Iowa is not chasing some fictitious sellout streak by having Alumni buy any unwanted tickets. Calling it a continuation of the sellout streak is a farce. 

 

Great game today against Fordham!

That was a trick! She’s dead Hawk. Died of cirrhosis in 2019

Watching other teams first games, maybe losing to Illinois wasn’t that terrible?

Did what needed done today.  Can't say this was a good win, but it was a needed win for a program that has some issues.

 

I will however point out in the first half we couldn't get our receivers open against an FCS school.  First half is the only half that I am looking at right now because lets be honest, Fordham ran out of gas and the second half doesn't matter as much in my opinion.

Having so many returning seniors surely was a benefit. I dont think it’s a good long term solution

Illinois might win the west!

Do you even sell out games at Iowa?

 

Even if it ended in 2019 it's a streak that dates back to 1962. In university of Iowa math that's 3 sets of hands, 2 sets of feet, and 7 toes. Unless it's your uncle Joe who lost a finger trying to "tickle" that pig who's counting; then it's 3 sets of hands and feet exactly.

So we finally come out and play well in a second half, but now it doesn’t matter?

Buffalo is rated roughly the same as Illinois in FPI. They beat a team of similar quality to Fordham, (Wagner), 69-7 this week. NU is favored to win but it won't be 52-7.

I agree.  Any win from now on is a good win.

Just a PSA for all you Husker youngsters 

 

The 95 Huskers played Pacific and won 49-7.

Osborne let the intramural squads play in the 4th quarter.

Clearly Logan Smothers should be the starter!

Not score. I mean control the game in similar manor. Win the trenches. It’s possible and I think Frost can do it, I’d love to see it happen.
