On Saturday night, the Iowa Hawkeyes hosted the Penn State Nittany Lions in a contest of American football in Iowa City. The Nittany Lions emerged victorious, 17-12. I have several thoughts, which are set forth randomly below:
- Alright, so you missed me last week. But in my defense, how much is there to really say when Penn State is up 28-0 and closes the game with a 28 point win?
- The answer is “not much.” The offense was a bit sloppy in the second half of that win, and it seems pretty clear that the team was running on the same energy as they had the week before against Maryland, got a huge early lead, and immediately relaxed.
