I am not Afraid of The Hawkeyes

After their punishing defeat of UNI on Saturday, the Hawks travel to Ames for their next helping of crow pie.

A really funny read from a Hawk blogger can be found here

Iowa's offense was embarrassing bad. All I heard all week was how Stanzi would "light up" the in experienced UNI defensive backfield. "It doesn't matter who starts at RB, Iowa will run all over UNI." And you know what? I believed it.

I tell you now, I believe it no longer. 8-4 is the absolute best possible record for the Hawks in a down year for the Big 11 (more on that later).

UNI dominated both Offensive and Defensive lines, and basically played to a stalemate. It can and will be argued that UNI's lines are also very well coached and prepared, so ISU should not EXPECT the same results without preparing in a similar fashion.

Either way, if you didn't catch the game, UNI lead for most of the game, with Iowa scoring a couple of second half touchdowns to pull ahead by one. And UNI was 2 blocked field goals from winning this.
