Did...did we just have fun?
For the first time since Iowa’s 41-10 week 3 win over Western Michigan, Iowa football was actually fun to watch. There was no gnashing of teeth. No unnecessary grind (ok, maybe a little grinding). That was Iowa just executing what Kirk Ferentz wants - complementary football, a balance between offense, defense, and special teams. For one Saturday, Iowa did that, and against a team sporting what was allegedly a top 10 defense.
Iowa was so dominant they made Rutgers look like Buttgers for a day. They were back in all their glory - false starts everywhere, giving up chunk yardage, generally getting obliterated in the trenches, a comical interception, snaps when the quarterback wasn’t ready - they were atrocious today, and it’s slightly amazing they made it to 6 wins.
