Seriously.
Normally I would think we would be fired up ready to seek revenge against somebody - anybody. But that should have been the case against Iowa and I didn't see it.
Is IU a doormat? They beat an Oregon team (at their house) that was supposed to be pretty good (certainly no worse than we are looking) and despite four straight losses haven't been completely destroyed by anybody. They are returning 18 starters and playing 9 seniors.
While we are likely working on fundamentals and a new QB they have been game planning for two weeks (that's right, for the second straight week we are playing a team coming off a bye week).
And I don't even want to hear about how long it has been since they beat us - that phrase is almost a precurser to doom this season.
They have every reason to come in here thinking they can win this game. And if they should happen to score early and we do a couple of "three and outs" that home field advantage will disappear with the wind - likely turning to a cascade of boos.
