I know it’s tough and painful, but if we want the Iowa football team to have national respect, we need the Big Ten conference to have respect so until we get to conference play, we should all be rooting for the success of Big Ten opponents. Then, let all hell break loose, but until then, they need to take care of business in the non-conference portion of the schedule.
So far, not so good.
To be fair, a few teams are taking care of business. Maryland destroyed the FSC Howard Bisons football team 79-0 and Wisconsin spanked the University of South Florida 49-0.
