Chisoxfn Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) The last two games Iowa finally looks like how I expected them to look this season. They still haven't cracked the top 25, and are easily one of the most underrated teams in the country now. I can name only a handful of teams who I don't think they could beat. USC Texas Ohio State Texas Tech (just a bad matchup. They could outscore them though) Notre Dame (if they don't pressure Quinn, he'd tear them up) Virginia Tech I'd love to see them get a match up against a top 15 team in whatever bowl they're in. Head in being touchdown underdogs, and win going away. Ya, they really looked good last week and got some pressure on a Minnesota QB that was sacked something like 3 times all season. They also did a stellar job shutting down the run and offensively they are a very well balanced attack (plus that was the best Tate has looked all season, imo). Its too bad, this team was capable but it took some time for there young defensive line to get things together. The way they are playing right now is like a top 10 team and quite frankly aside from the OSU game, they should only have 1 loss and be on line for a BCS game. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Tate got hurt in the ISU game, they freaking totally blew the NU game and blew the Michigan game. Luckily they will have there QB and RB back next year (both of which are talented) and will have most of there oline back and there entire Dline back. The key will be the losses of Hinkel, Solomon and Hodges/Greenway. Those will be 4 key losses and Iowa is going to need to find some WR's and we all know they won't be able ot replace Hodges and Greenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Yeah - and if NU hadn't let Penn State score a touchdown on the last drive who knows where we'd be!!! It's not what you coulda woulda shouda done but what you did! By the way the worst ass whupping I ever saw in person was when we took the bus trip to Iowa a few years back and they ran all over NU ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 NIU won the MAC West today and clinched a trip to the MAC Title game in Detroit next week and a certain bowl bid. It was a great victory and a wonderful scene after the game, congrats to Coach Novak and all the players for a great accomplishment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 The Aggie Pass rush is doing its job and forced a couple Vince Young sacks and a fumble. A&M scored a TD to take the lead and now Texas goes back and converts a fake punt for a 1st down (got a facemask on the play). They are no inside the 10 and looking to take the lead right back. Really good football game for those that aren't watching it (ABC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I get the idea that this game is now over. A&M's defense looked pourous so I'm thinking Texas is gonna roll off a few scores and blow em out. But I'm hoping the Aggs keep this a game. Is the USC-UCLA game tomorrow or is that still a week away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
