The Iowa Hawkeyes got the win and looked better doing it. The offense moved the ball & found big plays and improved in pretty much every area we’d want to see. The scale of that improvement? Hardly impressive but at least everything is going in the right direction.
What’s it all mean? Who knows. Nevada had a rough week of practice with California wildfires forcing them inside to the Reno convention center & there’s reason to not buy into the dead cat bump from that plus a game which featured three stoppages. Before lightning struck, though, Iowa had three scoring drives and just one three-and-out which is a huge improvement.
