THE MORNING AFTER: MISSISSIPPI STATE

Two years ago to this day, Iowa walked off the Raymond James Stadium turf and into the locker room with their heads held low.

It was depressing. The core of a team that had started the year before 12-0 and made the Rose Bowl had stumbled to an 8-5 record. The last loss was perhaps the most biting, a 30-3 defeat at the hands of a mediocre Florida team in turmoil.

After the game, they seemed in something of a daze. No one had really expected the Iowa offense to fall apart in that way.
