Despite Minnesota falling to Missouri, the Big Ten re-established itself on the national stage last night as Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Ohio State all secured B1G wins on B1G stages.
Today, however, is a new day with new battles to fight, and Iowa did not get that memo.
It's the second quarter, and Iowa is already 28-0. Let's see how it's going:

Iowa can't get a yard running behind Scherff. Sure, let's punt down 28-0.

It's a bowl game. It doesn't matter. You're down 28-0. You should go for it 4&1 on your own 38.
