Game Thread: #4 Penn State (3-0) at Iowa (3-0) - 6:30 pm CST - ABC

I had started to believe that Ferentz Jr. was going to be less predictable. I guess that was just against scrub teams.

I'd be more pissed about your OL. You can't even get the ball back to the LOS on a number of runs, and on most others, your RB has to break tackles to gain a yard or two.

The biggest problem Iowa has offensively, is that you have nobody on the perimeter that Penn State gives an ounce of respect to, and they have undoubtedly been right thus far.

I've got the under, it is absolutely pouring rain in Colorado

Great info.....thanks. I may place a large wager on that game.

Oh, I meant they will win that battle because you'd have to have a damned screw loose to kick it to him. There is almost no chance they will boot it his way. He has 3 straight games with a TD off a return and holds the NCAA record for consecutive games and tied record for career returns.

Rain or not they won't kick to him unless they are really really dumb.

Oh I gotcha, that is a good point

I was ready to get real defensive and then I laughed

Ha! Its a pet peeve I have too man. I am sure some of these coaches kids earned their stripes, but you still question why they have the jobs they do

 

[WizardHawk]

He held onto that ball way too long.

Nice throw..., I was looking forward to this gm. I was wrong. Both these teams are average at best

 

[HuskerOC]

Now THAT is Iowa football. 2 plays, and then the lead.

 

[DJ]

Shit.

Should have gone for two. 8-5 would have been a hilarious score.

WE GOTS A GAME! Grab a drink everyone!

I also like UW's run defense a lot. Victor becomes hugely important in a bad weather mostly running game sort of affair. Not sure they would cover, but I like their odds of winning such a game.

you'll have to play mistake free, the rain adds to the risk but at the same time your defensive line will control things

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

7-6! Its a track meet folks! It's gonna be one of those classic whoever has the ball last will probably kick a FG

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

back to this game, what a sudden turn of events there...suddenly Iowa is leading

To my relatively untrained eye, it looks like Penn State is flocking to where the ball will be instantly. I don't think our line stands a chance when the D knows exactly what is going to happen.

Ummm ND is playing on Fox

 

[iowajerms]

That a way Nick!!!

Both teams will make mistakes in bad weather. You just have to make less and/or do more with the other teams mistakes.

I don't care how ugly the game looks. Just find a way to get a W and get out of town without more injuries.
