Everyone outside the state of Iowa knew this is how Iowa’s season would turn out. Iowa fans are idiots to think otherwise. It has been mediocre season, rinse, repeat with your shit program since 1961. The only fans in college football that think Iowa is anything more than a middling, crap team are iowa fans.Not necessarily. It’s been a decade since Iowa has won fewer than 8 games. 5 times they have won more than 8 and 4 times they have won 7 or 8 in that time frame. They won 10 last year with almost the entire defense returning. If you would have told anyone in college football that Iowa would return everyone on defense AND more than double its PPG total from last year; no one would have believed they could possibly end up only winning 7 games in the regular season. But, here we are.
