6-3 under Franklin AS a top 5 team, 101-22-1 all time. That stat feels more important to me. Also, all 19 losses since 1994 against top 5 teams were against teams not named Iowa, so that’s big too.

Sure, but 99% of those we’re losses at Ohio State or Michigan when his teams were over matched. Penn State may lose at Iowa this Saturday,but it’s going to be an epic one score ball game.

Probably patting yourself on the back for this one bear. King of sharing stats with no context or relevance. Hope you throw 0-10 in our face when we head to Columbus.
