Iowa won this season with defense and timely plays. Some might even call it a lot of luck. The key for Iowa on offense was the play of Ricky Stanzi. Sometimes he was great and other times he was terrible. But when the Hawkeyes needed a late rally he was always there until getting hurt late in the season. "It's like being at the amusement park on the wildest roller coaster," Iowa offensive coordinator Ken O'Keefe said. The defense for Iowa was there all college football betting season as they held teams to 15.5 points per game.
