No time or network announced yet and at least 2 games are in danger of being shut down by COVID (Ohio State/Michigan State and Northwestern/Minnesota).

I would guess/hope that the Big Ten will have its first case of where they can re-schedule on the fly and Northwestern and Michigan State will play.

Stu Beagle · Nov 28, 2020

Are they doing prime time games in December?

Northwestern plays Michigan State today. I don’t think they are doing any rematches on the fly.

I think we come back and play a lot better.

Iowa 34-11.

douglasbader · Nov 28, 2020

Like all other Iowa football games, this will either be a close game that comes down to the last possession or it will be a complete blowout for an Iowa victory. There really isn't any middle ground.

RecreationalGynecologist · Nov 28, 2020

34-17 Iowa

We run the ball for 220 yards

CamelTones · Nov 28, 2020

It would have been nice to open with Illinois and play Purdue this week.

Does an undefeated 5-0 ohio state miss the cfp? I assume so right?

Stu Beagle · Nov 28, 2020

Does IL have a worse Qb than us?

Their starter was out with covid for a few games, I think. He's not great, but your question isn't hard to give a "No" to.

I think so, though they could get to 6-0 with a week 9 win vs Iowa or Wisconsin. I do not think that is enough to get Ohio State in. If that happens, I think The Douche is fucked, and do not think even a 9-0 Northwestern makes the CFP, if they even stay undefeated. Northwestern only makes it if they are 9-0 with a win vs Ohio State.

thrawn · Nov 28, 2020

If Northwestern goes 9-0 and is left out for anyone besides Ohio State the douche should leave the CFP.

Peters is a good thrower. The other guy is a really good runner.

So, no.

Shawneemicks · Nov 28, 2020

This one has an Illini double digits victory written all over it.

Peters is actually a decent runner and gave Iowa some issues on the ground last year.

Yeah he's a career 55% thrower. He's much more dangerous with his legs.

It was funny. They had plexiglass between the guys doing the game, and then five guys standing 4 feet behind them.

Iowa is gonna kill them. 19 points. I am so confident I will bet via Greg

HawkLax6 · Nov 30, 2020

The game will be on FS1.

CamelTones · Nov 30, 2020

With the way Illinois hits and the way Petras can lay his guys out over the middle, LaPorta might get killed.

LaPorta looked like he wanted to kill Petras a couple of times Saturday.

6 straight and 11 of 12.

Iowa went 27 years without a win (only 12 games). Evasheski only played them once for some reason. The 2016 game where Illinois never kicked off is a top five Kirk on brand moment

They didn’t play from 1952 to 1967. Their next longest streak of not playing was from 2008-2014.

Mo T · Nov 30, 2020

Iowa didn't play many teams from 65-78

Iowa as much as -14.5 right now.

He said it was unlikey and also they likely wouldn't be favored in another game.

They've won and been favored in every game since.

Noon EST kickoffs are only early if you are a worthless cocksucker from the suburbs of Seattle.

I also have to say for a road game I really enjoyed the Friday night game.

Burmeister might be the only QB worse than Petras.
