And that's good enough for another Iowa Win today at Kinnick!

Iowa goes to 9-0, 5-0 in the Big Ten ...

The fanfare in Section 138 was outstanding today. The joy of Iowa fans watching Halloween unfold in the first half and witness All Saints Day in the Fourth Quarter was rejoicing.

The only sadness today is the passing of Evy at age 91. RIP Evy, Former Hawkeye football coach Forest Evashevski dies - Press-Citizen

It will not get any easier next week with Northwestern, the last team to beat Iowa at Kinnick, ironically, off five Iowa turnovers, in the Big Ten opener last season. But, it's time to rejoice in today's game Hawkeye fans.

Today, despite six turnovers (five Stanzi interceptions) by Iowa in the first three quarters. QB Ricky Stanzi, who has turned out to money in the fourth quarter this season. Iowa pulls off their 4Th fourth- fourth quarter comeback to reach 9-0 on the season.

Great performances by the coaches, the players and the fans today, despite the flat performance early by Iowa's offense, defense, special teams and coaching staff. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz was the first to admit such on his post-game show.

The Wind was a huge play maker in this game. Of the eight interceptions in the game, seven were against the wind.

The other interception was none other than the Tyler Sash play of the day, that brought Iowa from a 7-21 deficit to make it 14-21 at the 7:45 point of the third quarter. It clearly gave many The Feeling that Iowa may just be in this game, despite the Halloween Thriller unfolding.

IU 38 Iowa 20 in 2007 turns into ...
Iowa 42, Indiana 24 in 2009.

On Iowa! The Hawkeyes move to 9-0, 5-0 in the Big Ten with the win today. Iowa will face Northwestern, who are tied 13-13 going into the 4Th quarter in Evanston vs. Penn State. But, PSU is starting to move away from Northwestern, as Iowa did vs. Indiana today at Kinnick!

Wow! Luckeyes! Who cares!

It's Great to be a Hawkeye!
