For the second week in a row, NU folded like a cheap table in the fourth quarter.
What mystifies me is how the team can possibly believe a four-point deficit is call for throwing the ball, down after down after down. Iowa was down by 14 at the end of the first quarter, and it didn't stop running the ball. You know why? Because you have to run the ball. Even if it's not getting you anywhere. You have to run the ball to set up the threat that you could possibly run it at some other time in the future. If you keep passing, the defense can rush four, drop seven and pound you to death. Which is what Iowa did. And Purdue.
Fitz was right to chide us about speculating on the bowls. They're not going anywhere.
