Like many of you, I had an empty pit in my stomach after watching the Iowa football team fall to the Purdue Boilermakers on a last second field goal Saturday afternoon. It was just two weeks ago that we were talking about this team as a potential sleeper contender for the College Football Playoff. Two weeks later and two losses on the road and this team not only has no shot at the College Football Playoff, but also almost no shot at winning the Big Ten West either.
A season with so much hope, is now a season of what could have been.
