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

[iowajerms]

Ohio State is obviously a far better team. They have an offense and a defense. Iowa has a defense, but no offense.

Iowa's defense gives up yards but they don't give up many points. They actually have allowed less points this season than Ohio State in both the season and vs B1G opponents.

Iowa hasn't faced an offense as good as Ohio State's either. Iowa State might be close and they put up 41 points on Iowa. Penn State is the only other team to crack 20 points, and that was very low scoring for them.

But Ohio State just got the B1G win of the year. They played at home under the lights vs the #2 team. It it was a classic. Now, Iowa has nothing to lose in this game. It is at Kinnick Stadium. They are not a team Ohio State can get too excited about. Could that be a hangover recipe?

By the way, I think Ohio State will look much better than Iowa but the score won't reflect it. I see OSU marching down to FG range or red zone and struggle to score TD. Iowa will do good vs the run and contain Barrett's mobility, but Barrett will have over 250+ yards passing. Iowa probably won't have 200 yards of total offense. Iowa might not make FG range unless Jewell (or someone on the defense) forces a turnover.

Similar to PSU's dominating 2-point win, but I don't expect Iowa to have that lead.

I'd guess Ohio State's hangover will occur in the first half. Then they sober up in the second half and play better.

Who knows...the bucknuts could turn it over a bunch and..........

Iowa is always a tough opponent for us it seems. Playing at Kinnick Stadium has to be one of the toughest places to play I have heard. I saw the spread and I think it's pretty high. I think this game will be much closer. Anyway, good luck Hawkeye fans. I would love to travel to see this game, but I have other business to attend next weekend.

The chances are good that Ohio St has a let down. But Iowa doesn't have much hope.
OSU, even with a let down, will still score in the 30's. Iowa couldn't get 35 if they
start on Monday.

Kinnick is a tough place to play. I don't think Ohio State runs away with this one but they should still win somewhat comfortably. 14-17 point win

I didn't realize the last few times were so close. I knew most of Ohio State vs Ferentz's Iowa team were dominant.

2013 - Ohio State won by 10, but was tied heading into the 4th Q.
2010 - Ohio State kicked a game-winning FG with 1:47 left.
2009 - Iowa had 1 loss going in the game with Stanzi getting injured the week before to Northwestern. Back up Vandenberg led Iowa to OT loss. Year after Shonn Green won Doak Walker Award as junior and went pro. Many Iowa fans think Iowa would have won if we had him or Stanzi.
2006 - Ohio State dominated here. Won 38-17 and led 21-10 at halftime
2005 - Ohio State dominated 31-6
2004 - IMO, this has been Ferentz's best team. Iowa dominated 33-7. Ferentz's only win vs Ohio State.
2003 - Ohio State won 10-19. Not really close though. Ohio State had 17-3 lead heading into 4th Q.
2000 - Ohio State dominated 38-10
1999 - Ohio State dominated 41-11

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

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.

I'd feel better if it were a night game but I still think it'll be semi close . Iowa hasn't lost a home conference game by double digits in almost 3 calendar years . I'll say 27-20 OSU. If the weather is shitty that will help.

Not sure? The same goes for us playing Northwestern? The conference is so much larger now that it will be difficult to schedule these games more often. I would like to play teams out of the west division.

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

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.

The hangover will end when the 1st playoff rankings come out on Tuesday. Just a hunch, but I don't think OSU will be in the top 4.

Went to Leaders/Legends and then to East/West. Schedules/rotations changed and Iowa vs Ohio State didn't happen.

The alt uniforms alone are worth a touchdown.
