With the narrow win over Arkansas St, the Hawkeyes are off to one of their best starts in 3 decades. Nice to get a win here, but I was hoping for a little more out of this game.
On the upside, Stanzi threw for almost 300 yards and had 3 touchdowns. Marvin Mcnutt had 2 TD receptions and 121 receiving yards. So there were some signs of life from the passing game.
On the downside, the defense allowed them to score 14 points and Stanzi had 2 interceptions, one of them leading to a touchdown. Also, neither Wegher or Robinson were very productive.
Regardless, sometimes in order to start a season the way Iowa has, teams need to get a little lucky. With this game out of the way, Iowa can now look forward to next weekend against Michigan.
Michigan just lost to archrival Michigan St, but has been getting plenty of production out of QB Tate Forcier. I'm not worried about Iowa scoring against Michigan's D, but I am worried about Iowa stopping the passing game of the Wolverines.
Big Ten game + Iowa's best start in years x Night game at Kinnick x coverage on ABC = great atmosphere and excitement. Should be interesting!
