Although they did win the bowl game. But I recall Iowa completely limping to the finish last year.

In his junior season the Hawkeyes were undefeated and #4 in the country until he was injured against Northwestern. They finished top 10. The problem in his senior year was a defense that wore out late in games and conservative play calling by Ferentz. Additionally without their DC most of the year they were not able to make the adjustments out of their base defense. We all know how linebackers trying to cover wideouts work.
