Overall they're pretty bad running the ball too. 3.8 yards per rush coming into the game which put them in 90's nationally in that category.

I guess we'll see. Right now The Athletic put them 27th on their 1-133 rankings. But there are a lot of teams below them that look much better. If they take one on the chin against NW they certainly don't belong anywhere near the top 40 and right now I'd put that game as a tossup.

I wouldn't even put them in the top 40. It will count as a ranked win was but Iowa is not a good team. It's going to be a dogfight for them to avoid 6-6.

People get really excited about things that rarely happen.

From an Iowa fan's perspective its a travesty that Iowa fans will view this as the Hawkeyes getting screwed over. The fact is Iowa lost today because of 2 reasons: 1. Iowa isn't good at football. 2. Minnesota flat out beat them in every phase of the game. Better offense, better defense, better...

They could easily lose their next 5 games in a row. Their offense is that bad. Defense and special teams basically can't make any mistakes. Against Minnesota they will likely have to create scoring opportunities in order to win.

I was at the game. Turned out to be a beautiful late fall day. Worst Iowa team of my lifetime.

Those 3 schools will definitely be playing for bragging rights and better bowl destinations but yeah I agree they won't be serious contenders for the top 2 spots unless a lot of things line up. Even then doubtful. Now once the B1G adds more teams I do expect a smaller division format to return...

Yes it has. However each QB the Gophers have played this year is better than Iowa's. By a significant margin. Iowa's OL and RBs are starting to show a pulse though.

I wouldn't expect much out of Iowa's TEs on Saturday. Their top 3 are out.

The resistible force (Iowa's offense) vs the moveable object (Minnesota's defense). That aspect of the game should be an interesting pillow fight.

Most coaches, not all, peak at a school within 5 years.

Yeah this is now the Gophers best opportunity. Both QBs out and Allen for Wisconsin took a beating. He is not at 100%. Iowa has serious injury issues. Down to their #4 TE and their DBs have no depth due to injuries. I could see both teams losing twice outside of the Gopher game.

There were quite a few in section 109. Very vocal but pretty cool overall.

I was there and the 52-10 score was not representative of the true gap between the 2 teams. That was a total domination.

Comparing Minnesota to Iowa is like comparing Iowa to Wisconsin. You can find some similar numbers but when it boils down to head to head and who finishes ahead of the other many more times than not you discover that there really isn't a comparison.

Don't get too bent out of shape about this. It will all change again when the B1G adds a couple current ACC members

You're not blanking. Since the B1G went to 12 teams Minnesota is 1-6 vs Michigan.

Washington looks like the best team so far.

The B1G West is a pretty easy road.
