Cats are supposed to eat Hawks

The Cats choked one away to the Hawkeyes, losing 28-17 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. After starting 14-0 and completely dominating the first quarter, the Cats offense went into a coma, with second half drives ending with 4 punts, 3 interceptions, and yes 1 field goal. Overall the game looked eerily reminiscent of the Purdue and Michigan games.

While Iowa moved to within 1 game of bowl eligibility (who woulda thunk that a few weeks ago), the Cats remained in bowl stasis, and now face enormous pressure to win out the next two weeks with key games against Indiana (home) and Illinois (Champaign).
