Haha! Unreal. Minnesota look really good today. 35 unanswered points by Minn, score 35-7. Iowa just fumbled with :19 to go in the first half. Minnesota can score and basically put this away already.

Good grief.

 
I'm watching this game thinking, they put up big enough numbers and some more 1 loss teams lose and they might be ranked when we play them.

 
I mean .... Iowa hasn't exactly looked great this year. Lost to 2-6 Iowa State and Maryland. Their best win is .... 4-5 Pittsburgh????

 
My sister is a gopher alum and she got tickets.. so since the 'Skers were on bye i decided to go.

My take from the game-- Gophs have a very solid defense against the run. There CB's got beat on 1-1 coverage and Iowa looked really bad.

Hats off to the gophers, but Iowa looked awful and couldnt stop some simple plays.

 
As posted earlier, Iowa is an odd team from week to week. A box of chocolates if you will.

I'd be incredibly wary of writing them off. If we win the next two, Iowa (regardless of their own results) will look at the Black Friday game as a chance to crash any dreams or hopes that are an option for Nebraska at that time. I expect them to come out tough. If we can convince them early that they have no chance, we will likely sweep the floor with them. But if we let them hang long into the 2nd quarter, it could get dicey.
