THE TAKEAWAY: INDIANA
Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY SportsSure, Iowa just outmatched Indiana, 35-27. But how much do we really know? What was really important about beating the Hoosiers? What does it all mean, Basil? The Takeaway has the answer.
History. Iowa is 9-0 for the second time in program history, and also the second time in seven seasons. That's a seriously big deal. You'll hear plenty of intrepid souls tell you it's "not good enough for the committee" or somehow otherwise cheapened, but if 9-0 weren't worth celebrating, why doesn't it happen way more often?
Since Iowa's first 9-0 start in 2009, Ohio State is the only other Big Ten team who can claim two 9-0 starts (2012, 2013) and nobody else can even claim one.
