Game thread: NW'ern 28, Iowa 27 (Final)

[BB73]

Noon Eastern on ESPN

Iowa scored on their opening drive for the 6th time in 9 games.

Iowa just cut thru NWs defense on that first drive. Made it look way to easy.

Sutton stuffed for a loss of two on NW's first play.

Early out there - got a cuppa Kona?

Iowa in scoring position again after a horrible punt

EDIT: OK they scored again :)

 

[BB73]

Looks like NW'ern hasn't woken up yet. Missed tackles, another Iowa TD

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

NW's DL is getting dominated. We should fuck them up next week...

 

[Magua]

We really need Iowa to win out. Hopefully they blow NWestern out today, and well...in a perfect world we'd see Wisconsin upset Penn State today, then lose to Iowa next week. Again thats in a highly unlikely perfect world. I dont see Penn State losing IN happy valley tonight to Wisconsin...but ya never know...thats why they play the game!

 

[Oh8ch]

If Iowa's DL ever falls into place they can be a completely different team.

Magua has the scenario I have been looking for to get us an undisputed championship, but the truth is we left that one in Happy Valley ourselves.

 

[wdg01]

and Iowa scores again..

Iowa's finally waking up this season. To echo what OH8CH said, if they ever get their D line to gel they will be very tough.

 

[JXC]

I hope Iowa and MSU wake up...but I think this Iowa team has a good shot at beating Wisconsin.

 

[Magua]

Hopefully Iowa wins out and gets back into the top 20 or so. This would do two things: 1) hand losses to other teams such as Wisconsin who we need to lose. 2) make our crushing victory over them look better in the "computer polls" or what have you.

I don't know how Iowa fans can like Drew Tate. He's such a crybaby little bitch.

 

[BB73]

Basanez now 27 of 46 for 300 yards, with 1 TD and 2 picks.

NW'ern scored with 2:10 left to get within 27-21.
