Sorry but Whifford will single handedly get Iowa’s RB a 20-40 yd run like a Wisconsin long play. Bash me if I’m wrong.

So as of today at least, it appears at least two out of SMU/Miami/Clemson get in from the ACC.
Big 12 champion is in (BYU?),
Boise likely in as the highest G5 champ
Oregon, PSU, OSU, Indiana from B1G
Texas, UGA, Tenn from the SEC
Notre Dame at large is in

Most likely upsets I can see for the last weekend are SCar beating Clemson, A&M maybe over Texas (doubtful though)

Man, this is exciting. There could be a 3 loss SEC team that sneaks in but doesn’t look that way at this point

Massive turnaround with no staff changes on that side of the ball. Is it possible Rhule is a head coach who recognizes problems and fixes them?

Our field goal kicking at the start of the year was a complete dumpster fire. Dinglefritz kept telling everyone on here that Hohl was a good kicker and the fault was not his. Dingle was right.

John Hohl is money. The dude can flat-out kick. He has accuracy and can kick long kicks as well. He got us nine points today which was huge. So here is to our next Alex Henry!

Sigh. I remember when our droughts consisted of going undefeated until OU beat us at the end of the year🤔

It's truth! While I said we would win 13-7 in a defensive slugfest, my buddy said 56-3 which he was off but 44-25 was closer to that predition than anyone elses. We beat Wiscy down and an Iowa beatdown is coming next week. We will still finish with 8 wins which includes the bowl game. The way we played played yesterday in beatdown fashion coupled with my calling of an Indiana thumpin by tOSU proved our game against Indiana was nothing but a fluke as our ceiling of playing ability is that of tOSU and a game that was ours in their house and got fk'd royally in it with officials intentionally blowing calls all game in their favor. It has all been a mental thing this year and with this game yersterday proved that and people can take their mantra's that we're lacking in talent can shove it where the sun doesn't shine as everyone found out we have talent and have the speed to go with it on both sides of the ball. Sure we gave up a few long passes but that didn't matter and Friday we don't have to worry about a very good passing attack! Johnson doesn't get 100 yards and saying he'll get between 75-80 holding him to a season low. We have the top interior DL in this conference and not even close! The gorilla and the Bear!

most rushing attempts in a game since - wait for it - the last time we won, Oct 5th vs Rutgers.

most rushing yards in a game since week 1 vs UTEP.

probably a coincidence.

your brain is broken. King_Kong_ consumes your thoughts. night/day, sober/drunk, even during "family time" bouncing your little formula-fed daycare attendee on your lap, it's all Kong all the time.

I honestly think you need to take a long break from this board in an effort to recalibrate. I am clearly leaking into your private life.

OP is correct. Having an AD that knows and cares about football is something we haven’t had in a very long time.

Look at Wisky. Alvarez forced coaches to have a power run identity and they were very good while Alvarez was AD. Now they have no identity & will take Nebraska’s place in the suck category for years to come.

Yikes. First off, both games were in Columbus. Second, I was refuting that Wisconsin was a “very good defense”. Not sure why it delved into the OSU game.

But since you made me look…..Iowa averaged 4.7 yards per play while Nebraska averaged 4.13 against them.

As much as I could twist that and try and be an asshat, I won’t. A lot of Iowa’s offense came when OSU took a large lead. So it’s not comparable.

Bottom line is that Iowa hasn’t had a game where they played two complete halves. I don’t expect that to happen Friday. It’s gonna be a special teams game.

We beat down a one dimesional Iowa offense and won't be very hard movin the ball on their D. I said right before the game yesterday that our last 2 opponents are HATED rivals like Colorado and the game yesterday I said we would come out and play like we did against Colorado and look what happened. Same thing is gonna happen to Iowa! Now those chains that have held us down for 8 years are gone and now they can play free without that weight on their shoulders and all hell is gonna brerak loose! Holy cow look at the O yesterday and that was week 3 of Holherson and his 2nd game called. Wonder what the improvement's gonna be in Holgerson's game 3? If it looks better than yesterday, there's a beatdown a comin to the Chokeyes! The O beat down a very good Wisconsin D yesrterday. Iowa is a one dimensional offense playing with their 4th string QB and KJ won't even reach 100 yards rushing. At leat Wisconsin had a passing game to mix things up and they only finished with 108 rushing! Iowa's OL is weak sauce and the Blackshirt DL is gonna wreck that one too!
