Big props to you guys. Penn State was exposed as a soft team that just wasn't ready for conference competition. #5 was really off base.
Some observations
-Bowman is still our best defensive player. LBU lacks Penn State quality LBs.
-Ferentz is a far better strategic coach than anyone PSU has. He owns Joe thoroughly.
-the refs made some key mistakes in this game...but they in no way altered the outcome of the game.
-The ESPN script played out perfectly - PSU had played no one and they were the next update at the 5 position.
-Clark had a rough night - but 2/3 of his picks were not on him.
- the team seemed to give up after a while. lots of guys lumping it out there.
Iowa looks extremely solid. It will be interesting to see how they do with this tough schedule they face. There are much better strategically coaches teams in the big 10 that they will face, but the confidence gained tonight might indeed take them far.
Drawing board time for PSU. A lot of weaknesses were unveiled tonight.
I have a lot of respect for Iowa - staff, team, and fans. The far better team stepped up tonight. Sig/Av me up guys - you own me for a week.
