Well that Saturday sucked!
We’re gonna have to turn the page here as we prepare for Penn State this weekend in what should be an electric night game, despite the fact Iowa’s record no longer remains spotless after a disastrous turn of events in Ann Arbor.

Musings:
- Tyler Goodson has surpassed Ivory Kelly-Martin as the No. 3 back. Duh.
- Alaric Jackson re-assumes his LT role after starting there at Michigan, for better or worse. Interestingly enough, Levi Paulsen is now the backup RG and not the back RT. He’s the de-facto sixth lineman in my book, however.
- There was more movement on defense. Julius Brents is back in the lineup after missing considerable time. He’s probably the No. 3 corner now, even after Terry Roberts did pretty well last week.
- Brady Reiff hasn’t won back his starting role on the interior defensive line... and I’m not sure he ever will.
- Seth Benson is now backing up Djimon Colbert after Nick Niemann has spent the entire season as the No. 2 WLB.
- Jack Koerner is still beating out Kaevon Merriweater after KM got injured earlier in the year. Koerner, a walk-on, has been playing really well actually and I’m fine with this.
- And that’s kinda it!
- Please beat Penn State.
