We’ll use this space to briefly recap last week’s matchup to watch before heading to the this weeks.
Moore sat out the game for undisclosed reasons. One would think that might stabilize Iowa’s back seven vis a vis the CASH position as Moore tallied 0 receptions for 0 yards. Yet Phil Parker had to search a bit to find a man inside, often settling on Matt Hankins, while he shuttled between the 4-3 & 4-2-5 defense. Hankins had a solid day, as did Barrington Wade save an especially high profile play, but the lack of experience resulted in Purdue exploiting Iowa for three David Bell touchdowns.
