Let's see a blowout Urban, no playing games in this one. This Iowa team is fully capable of playing a good game and getring the upset. They have a damn good run D and need to wear them down. Can't take this one lightly

GO BUCKEYES!

I actually liked Iowa for potential upset earlier in the week when the spread was lower. It's now climbed to the 18 range so I've lost a lot of that.

I think Ohio St handles them.

If Iowa runs the ball well and can get a few turnovers anything is possible but we havent generated much pass rush, our secondary is average at best and we cannot contain mobile QB's at all. Plus Iowa hasnt won at Columbus in 22 years. OSU 41 Iowa 20.

See NW caused TOs and it kept them in the game, but they also have a more explosive offense, still cam out with a win. Iowa is going to have to play ridiculous D to keep it close IMO

Not much of a chance here unless tOSU bus crashes on the way to the stadium...I see a two TD win for the Bucks

Miller will have to throw for 400+ for tOSU to score 40 on us

Disagree. I think that the OL and Carlos Hyde w a mix of Brax, iowa's run defense is in serious trouble. I don't see any problems dropping 40+ on Iowa. We shall see. My prediction is tOSU 42 Iowa 23.

They don't even pass the ball enough, they will get big chunks w/ passes. But they basically kill you with the run, short passes, and hit you with the deep ball once they suck you in with the run

Well I think its safe to say Iowa has a better D than NW but NW has a better O and that game was in Evanston so your point is valid. I give Iowa about a 1/50 shot of winning this thing but the thing Iowa has going for them is that they have a good run game so IF they can control the ball enough it gives them a shot but not a realistic one if OSU plays even average IMO

This is the game where Kirk Ferentz rises from the dead and earns his paycheck.

^ I hope not

Makes me feel good that OD thinks that tho

However it goes, it will get top billing on my tv.

I want to see all the top 5 play as many games as possible. Iowa's got a good defense and this game will be a good measuring stick for Ohio St's offense imo. If they win it handily (like the 18 the oddsmakers have on them) then it supports their ranking.

Great. Now they'll put up 70.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow! USCe lost and UGA is about to lose.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Damn all the way down to the 20, cmon D!
