With the loss, we were now in the middle of a three-game losing streak, which was our worst losing streak of the season but wasn’t cause for too much concern because we lost those three games only by a combined 10 points. Thankfully, we bounced back with a win over Penn State at home, but turned right around and got completely mutilated in a 25-point loss to Purdue at their place. Whereas most of our other losses throughout the season were either close or semi-justifiable, a blowout loss to a Purdue team that we had beaten earlier in the season was nothing short of an inexcusable embarrassment. With only two games left in the regular season, it wasn’t exactly a great time in the season to be getting our asses handed to us like that.After Purdue we played Iowa, who we coincidentally played immediately after we were blown out by West Virginia earlier in the season. And much like that first matchup with the Hawkeyes, this time around we also continued our poor play from the previous game and let the game get much closer than it probably should have been.
