The only way in which it could be considered a "bad" loss was that Iowa tried to give them the game multiple times, and PSU just didn't close it out in the second half. That happens, and that's why it's so hard to go undefeated in modern college football in the 88-scholarship era. |
Haha-No, you're right. I don't know much about football. In fact, that's why my boyfriend hates watching it with me because I ask too many questions. The only reason I said that is because that is what was on ESPN (when I watched with him the other night). It said that Iowa has not beat a top 10 team since 1990. Maybe I misunderstood what they were talking about but, I was pretty sure that was what was said. I don't claim to be some football fanatic who knows all the answers-so, please don't get too upset if my understanding regarding rules, regulations or specific times and dates isn't exactly top of the top.
