Game Thread: Michigan State vs. Iowa

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

Big game for both teams....Sparty needs a win after that ND loss and Iowa needs a win to validate themselves as a potential player in the Legends division...this might be one of the boringest pull the hair out of your head games this season...the Hawkeyes are getting better each week while MSU has a high school offense with an NFL defense...whoever scores last is most likely the.winner in this one

Toss up game, but I'll take Iowa at home.

7-3 Mich St on a pick 6.

Might have to make this into a drinking game to make it fun.

Shots on 3 and outs?

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

I'm doing the opposite....i will only drink when there its a first down...I'm going to buy a tall boy and not finish it

I will be dead by halftime. That is gonna be like 28 shots in an hour.

I've got nothing against MSU but I hate Dantonio...he and Ferentz both have the personality of a wet noodle....I like Iowa's chance at home...as tough as the next stretch is for us a win would really do these kids some good going into the beat down we will get in CBUS

Ferentz might have his upside, but something about him just rubs me wrong. I'm not a Dantonio fan for the same reason. (btw, why do you hate him?) It'd be swell if he were to retire right now and let DC Narduzzi take the helm. Folks out there are saying Narduzzi is high on the list for the now-vacant HC at UConn, which spooks the shit outta me. The guy's a great recruiter, incredible motivator and runs the #1 Defense in the country.

I agree with thems what think this will be a snooze-a-looza...good old fashioned B1G 2-yds and a cloud of snores. Do believe that if MSU's killer D's can stifle Weisman & Bullock on the run and the zebras don't go all apeshit PI on our secondary, Rudock's going to have a long day. As far as MSU's anemic offense? Shit, who knows? Hoping, though, QB Cook will come out fired-up to jam whatever talent he has down Dantonio's disrespectful throat.

Good luck Hawkeyes, ya bastids!

go green!

Whichever team has the best takeaway margin should win. Spartan defense is pretty good at generating turnovers so I'll go with Michigan State to win...barely.

 

[H2S]

now I'm spooked...Vegas (just this morning) reversed the line from Iowa-1 to Iowa+1...whoa!

 

[Tomhusker]

I picked Iowa for this one. But, I also defend the rights of homo's and colored people too.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Iowa is the surprise team for me.

No way did I think Rudock was going to be as good as he is. Iowa's defense is playing very stout.

But then, Michigan State's offense is quite possibly the worst offense in the NCAA. Michigan State does not even have any inkling of which quarterback is even average.

I think Iowa will score on Michigan State and it is possible that Iowa shuts out Michigan State.

10-0, Iowa.

 

[Ironbreaker]

Even though they are on the road I'm taking Sparty and that D.

Sparty 17
Iowa 14

¹ true. quite possibly...MSU's Offense sucks. And Rudock is playing really well...we'll see how good he is against the acknowledged best Defense in the country - something yall Huskers can't even fathom.
² true. it is possible...Iowa actually has a Defense. Oh, btw, so do the surprising Illini...and how's Martinez's turf toe healing?

 

[MI Nightmare]

Sparty grinds out the W in a defensive slugfest.

 

[Innermind]

The O/U is currently 38 1/2. Sounds pretty good until one starts picturing pick-sixes.

MSU-3
Iowa-13
