Funny that Washington is most like Iowa's defense amongst our former opponents.  That UW defense was pressed into extra service from their 7 drives that ended in punts (~4.3 plays per drive that ended in punt).  UW's starting QB returned after the Stanford game--we won't see 7 punts from them next year, I don't think.  Also, Stanford holding the ball for 40:55 against UW surely wore them down...! 

Iowa's near-goal line stand against MSU at the end of the B1G ccg was pretty impressive.  A lot of size on that defense, and that's something that really does slow down our offense (esp when Shawngren calls plays that run sideways first).
