I suspect the players knew from summer on that the team lacked a qb. Explains the fits and starts for the talent on defense. Just showing up and gettjng to next year. Sad.
I have gone in hopeful to Iowa games and watched MN be down 21 in q 2. I suspect this is one of those games where IA simply scores 21 by the half and mn has 3. Then 21-10. Then 21-13 and finally 28-13. We stink again.
