The Morning After: Cooked

Well...what do we do now?

We’re seeing the scenario we feared the most with Iowa football the last 3-4 years. The defense, while still good pre-injuries, has slipped a little. It’s not an elite group this year. Losing a complete stud like Cooper DeJean is felt. Jermari Harris is this year’s DeJean - seriously he’s having a fantastic season - so Michigan State simply ignored his side of the field. The other side doesn’t have a 2023 Jermari Harris-level player over there. MSU went away from Harris and picked on the other side of the field relentlessly.
