[Herky] Where Iowa football ranks statistically in the Big Ten after week one

[Scott Werling]

I've wondered how the lack of a bowl game last fall messed with the 
team.  Did they go through normal practices and have a simulated game 
(scrimmage)?  Or did their season just end when Missouri backed out?  
That's a lot of practice that would have gone by the wayside if they had 
nothing after MU pulled out.
