Well fellow Iowa fans, it seems that we’ve reached the determinative game of the season a little earlier than normal this year. I think we all knew that this season would likely hinge on the outcome of our trip to Madison, though I’m not quite sure that we could have predicted just how bad the rest of the B1G West was going to be. Sure, we all knew that Nebraska was going to be Nebraska, and that Purdue would likely struggle under a new HC, and I, personally, though Illinois would take a step back, but I didn’t expect them to fall off the map, nor that Minnesota would regress so significantly with a new QB under center.
