What are the chances Iowa gets Ohio State on a hangover?

[olympicoscar]

How have the Buckeyes managed to dodge playing us for four freegin years, is what I'm wondering.

The Big 10 makes the schedules, not the teams.

The wind is my concern. JT has been zipping the ball well and hope it continues without windy conditions. You guys will play the run I would imagine.

They like that off-tackle run. I think it is audibled to most of the time. He will do an audible motions and then they do that off-tackle run. Of course, Wadley averages 0 to -1 yards with it I bet. They don't use it to set up play-action or bootlegs or anything like that.

It seems like Stanley is not comfortable out there. He looks at one receiver or doesn't notice a defender out of the tunnel vision of the receiver. He is also a sophomore. I think if he had more confidence, Iowa's offense would be better. But I think he is the reason Iowa runs that off-tackle run a lot.

This just seems too crazy for me. I think this spread goes down as the week progresses.

Mega conference scheduling sucks. SEC does it and it's benefits the conference cause you can get multiple teams in the top 5 and now the B1G does it too. The big 12 best flex to 16 or they die like the big least did

Yeah, this is going to be a great game. I hope this doesn't come down to a 4th quarter comeback like last week. That LB of yours is a stud( forgot his name?) Jewel? He was a crusher during that PSU game. Like I said, Kinnick is a tough place for anyone to get a W.

Josey Jewel "The Outlaw"

He is a beast, but he has been dealing with an injured shoulder. He didn't play in the Northwestern game due to it and still led the B1G in tackles after the week. He has played at the elite level vs Illinois and Northwestern. Interesting to see how he does against an offense like Ohio State.

 

[iowajerms]

Blackout would be cool at night game with the new "1st quarter wave" tradition.

I don't hate any team. Right now I have the Eagles ranked number 1 in the NFL. That could change obviously, but they've got the best record and deserve to be number 1.

Iowa 31
Ohio St 16

Ha, Iowa hasn't totaled 31 in the past 3 games combined.

 

[MarkOU]

Ohio st better win our it'll be funny. Good luck Iowa.

 

[podsox]

Have a hard time seeing a team with a loss and veteran qb having a hangover. If they were undefeated it would be a different story.

If Iowa beat Ohio State... They would have win over Iowa State, who beat TCU and Oklahoma nd win over Ohio State, who beat Penn State. And Iowa will still be a quality loss and a crappy team at the same time.

I thought I saw somewhere where Iowa was going to have a "blackout"? Not sure if it was all black or all yellow?

They do both so not sure. It looks cooler when they alternate black and yellow in each section but I'm sure it'll be one or the other

The spread is insane honestly . I could see 10-13 but 17.5 is crazy

This is going to sound homerific but it wouldn't surprise me if Iowa is rated by the committee. 4 wins over .500 plus teams including a road win over a likely top 15-20 team and zero bad losses all in close games plus the Hawks have great computer numbers ( ranked 25th overall by Massey composite ). Wouldn't shock me yo see them sneak into that 23-25 spot come Tuesday

It is dead either way.

That sounds just as good as some of the other teams that are in that range. Somebody has to fill those spots. Might as well be Haden Fry's old team.

I was thinking the same thing @rmilia1 . If the committee is going to rank a 3 loss team, it's going to be them. I can see them ranking Iowa ahead of a team like Arizona, or even a team like NC State(only 2 .500+ wins). I think those are the only 2 realistic teams they could be ahead, at least according to who is currently ranked in the AP top 25. Michigan State is 6-2 and has the H2H win. Wazzu has beaten USC and 3 other .500+ teams.

How is Iowa's kick return game?

Playing in Kinnick should make any team nervous. I'm really excited to see the Kinnick wave to the children's hospital, has to be the best new tradition around hands down.

I just don't know where Iowa gets the points from, so the defense is going to have to hold OSU to a bunch of FG's as OP suggested
