PSU / Iowa has been a good series. Notwithstanding some message board posters on each side.
I think SB is not only a great college football player, he has also proven to be a gentleman.
This said, there are (were) some things I do not like like about McSorely and James Franklin. James Franklin's comments, and McSorely's quick correction last night went long way to changing my opinion.
This is way too good of a series for it to be cheapened like an Iowa/MSU series. McSorely is too good of a player to let what he did last night lessen his season.
It speaks loudly that both he and Franklin addressed this immediately. Let your team's performance speak for itself. Franklin's post game comments last night were appropriate. And appreciated by Iowa fans who enjoy football, and don't enjoy some of the antics and rhetoric that go along with it.
I've traveled to every B1G stadium, and in these travels one begins to either respect or disrespect certain football teams and fanbases. It would have been very unfortunate if this series had devolved into what some other series have.
It was a hard hitting game. I suspect McSorely and one of our receivers are extremely sore this today.
Championship teams win games like this. I hope this is beneficial to Iowa going forward. Iowa has an extremely tough path to the West, and frankly PSU has a tough path to the East, but at this point I think both teams have a legit shot.
Good luck the rest of the way.
