1) Albert Young averaged 7.5 yards per carry in the first half.
2) He only carried eight times in that half.
3) You miss 25-yard field goals and extra points, it's probably going to hurt you if you're ever in another close game.
4) Terry Hoeppner laid the groundwork for a nice program at Indiana before his extremely untimely death. He would have loved the way his Hoosiers played here.
5) Had there been enough people left in the stands to matter late in the game, the booing would have been loud. It was audible even with a sliver of the original crowd remaining.
6) Iowa will play better teams than Indiana. Starting next week with Penn State. But the Hawkeyes match up better with Penn State's traditional attack than the let-it-all-hang-out offenses of Indiana and Northwestern.
7) Oklahoma and Texas also got beat. That stuff about parity in college football these days is more than a cliche. It doesn't make it any easier to swallow when you're on the losing side.
8) Iowa's 7-game Big Ten losing streak is really going to be an embarrassment if it grows longer and longer. Both Penn State and the next week's opponent, Illinois, feel like they owe Iowa beatings.
9) Did you hear Indiana's name mentioned in recruiting rankings a few years ago when everybody in Hawkdom was going cuckoo over Iowa's so-called recruiting haul? No, you didn't.
10) The Hawkeyes aren't good.
