Aaron,
I'll give you the point that every game on Iowa's schedule is winnable. But you'll have to acknowledge that Iowa could lose all of those games as well. I don't think Iowa wins them all but I also don't think Iowa loses them all either. The Purdue game jumps out at me as a game that Iowa can win. The rest, I'm not so certain.
I've got many concerns - now - with Iowa's offense. For having a strong O-Line, they sure couldn't open any holes for the running game against MSU. The passing game, far too many short completions under 5-yards that continue to be ineffective. I heard Chuck Long talk about how Iowa's WRs weren't fast enough to get open against MSU's secondary. Let's apply that to the rest of Iowa's schedule......
And we still are waiting to see how Iowa's defense shuts down better offenses than MSU's in the B1G! One thing is for certain, Iowa's defense made a mediocre QB look real good last Saturday. What will Northwestern's QBs do against Iowa's defense.
Iowa's special teams...a complete mystery.
All that is left to consider is the coaching staff and their abilities leading up to, and on, game days.
