Anyone ever heard of Vaughn Dalzell? He has his own rankings with NBC Sports. He has Bama at #4. Has IU at #20. (Yes, twenty)

Just went back and watched highlights. On Iowa's touchdown near the end of the half, the officials waited 8 seconds after Gronowski went down before finally signaling touchdown. The clock stopped at 22 seconds, then inexplicably ran down to 17. Amazing we were still able to score there.
My first thought was why didn't he just run all the way through. Whoever told him to fall down in the end zone should probably report to Cignetti's office first thing in the morning for a nice little chat.
Conference road games are usually tough. They're supposed to be tough. We would do well to remember that tomorrow when it's halftime and we're not up 28-3.
Anyone else think Illinois falling so far in the polls was another subtle jab at IU football? You think Illinois drops that far if OSU, PSU or Oregon beats them that badly?
Ryan Browne is probably good enough to get them 1-2 more wins. He was a Jeff Brohm recruit, and Brohm was excited about landing him. It helps that he's 22 years old and somehow only a sophomore.
