*** Official Iowa Game Thread ***

Still another half to play. Iowa is gonna come out with more inspiration in the second half. Not turning the ball over will be a key to the 2nd half. Not letting iowa get momentum. We have nothing to play for other than pride. I wouldn’t be surprised if iowa makes it a game

For those whining about clock management, in that situation when NU got the ball back at their own 10 with 4 minutes left, the goals of that drive are:

1.  Get enough first downs to run the first half out, and not give the ball back to Iowa. That was accomplished. 
 

2. Get into field goal position. Thompson had a first down pass, nullified by an offensive holding, or NU is in position to try for a FG.

3.  If possible, try to score 7, but not be super risky with turnovers or getting Casey injured.

Exactly.  First priority was not to punt.  We get the ball back to start the half up three scores.

The past.  Dominating Colorado 17-0 and lose.

The past.  Last week 14-3 with 15 to play and lose to Wisconsin.

...could go on and on.

You should know there's no lead, with this team, that is safe.

I still don’t like getting super aggressive in that situation and risk a turnover or injury.

This team doesn't know how to win.  We're getting the ball first in the second half.  Being aggressive there and maybe scoring sets the tone for going for the throat and not leaving the door open. Your mindset is part of the overall issue with this team in my opinion.  That's playing not to lose.

But I would say that the reason NU doesn’t know how to win is poor execution, not being aggressive or not.    Why have trust in the 2 minute drill when it hasn’t been run well in how many years? There’s a time to be “aggressive” and there’s a time to be prudent.
