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.

Yeah yeah yeah b**** b**** b****.

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 !

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!!

Texas 14, Texas A&M 9. Vince not having an impressive day so far.

i took A&M +28.

 

This may be the only week i'm not rooting for UT

Looks like the Aggies just took the lead.

I'm really getting sick of these ridiculous unsportmanslike conduct penalties.

Horns cough it up.

That might have been the most ridiculous call I've ever seen.

it's happened so many times this season too.

Texas gets the lead right back.

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).

TD Texas back up by 6.

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?

Blocked punt UT TD

Big Momentum turn here.

 

I was just going to post where is the Texas defense?

 

They need a stop here and this game will be back under control. Rivalry games like this is why college football >>>>> than the pros

Tex, wouldn't a real Texan be at this game?

Tex, wouldn't a real Texan be at this game?

 

College Station is 10 hours and $$$$ away.

and the aggies answer right back.

 

wow.

fresno state 2.

Except Fresno State is much better, but this is a rivalry game.

 

Nice, Aggies stop Texas with a loss. Looks like another punting situation

8 point game.

Paging Longhorn Defense, paging Longhorn Defense

 

Where the hell is the Longhorn Defense??

Keep rushing that ball.

Huge turnover with that punt.

 

A&M is playing awesome defense. This is a big series to deflate the Aggies
