Sure, Iowa just rode Jordan Canzeri to a win over Illinois, 29-20. But how much do we really know? What was really important about beating the Illini? What does it all mean, Basil? The Takeaway has the answer.
Can we get that bye week now and play Northwestern next week? Ross mentioned it amply in the postgame, but Jordan Canzeri's performance deserves mountains of credit. Not only did Canzeri set the Iowa record for rushes and put up Iowa's third-most rushing yards in a single game, but he did it against a defense that spent a good chunk of the game beating him up.
