Having seen them a couple of times, I think you're wrong, and you're lucky you didn't have to play them this year.. They would have played you very tough. They were where I expected Iowa to be this year, very well balanced, very much a Penn State type of toughness defensively.
Maybe...
I think OHio State would've won against them going away assuming they played as well as they did against everyone but Illinois....Illinois was their one bad game this year.
