Iowa opens -23.5
Hopefully AJ sits on his face during their first driveJust watched MTSU highlights from the Michigan and Duke games. Their QB is a lot like the guy at UNI and he tries to throw like Phillip Rivers. He might be 5 feet tall.
This is true. What’s also true is their defense is absolutely horrible.Ultimately we should just beat the hell out of them up front and wear them down but I could see it being annoying for a quarter or two with the secondary still so banged up. Their QB can run and they have one pretty good receiver with Ty Lee. Would have been a good game for the 4-2-5 if we still had enough decent DBs to run it.
Yeah we should put up 40+ pretty comfortably. I don't think it'll ultimately be that close I could just see them putting together a few annoying drives and causing a brief freakoutThis is true.

I'm not sure there is an FBS team in the country I'm willing to say Iowa would comfortably put 40+ on. Especially with the OL injuries.Yeah we should put up 40+ pretty comfortably.

Iowa could have easily put up 40+ on both Miami-Ohio and Rutgers. They took their foot off the gas in those games, especially Rutgers.I'm not sure there is an FBS team in the country I'm willing to say Iowa would comfortably put 40+ on.

I hope the offense gets to that point eventually, but the run game needs to become more dominant or Stanley needs to get his accuracy dialed in for me to feel comfortable that 40+ is a given.
In game, yes. After the game, don’t care.If it's that close, I'll be very sad.Iowa - 36

Lol, no.

If they start scoring more long TD's, really dominating on the ground, or Stanley improves his accuracy I'll feel different. Until then, I'll never think Iowa will score 40+ comfortably in any game.

way to jinx it dipshitI've been thinking about this one a lot, and, well, I think we're going to win.
That’s a few more than 40.Hawks by a million
LTW is going to go to his first game. He will probably be wiped by the end of the first quarter but want to stay the entire game. Got him some sweetass earmuffs and a number one foam finger.I’m taking my older two munchkins to this one. It will be my 6-year-olds second Iowa game and my 4-year-olds first. I’m sure they won’t last long, but it’s Middle Tennessee, I don’t care. We are going to ride the train and eat chorizo mac n cheese and popcorn. They are excited as hell to watch the Hawks and wave to the kids.
45-0 Iowa
I get it, but thought it was pretty silly to say when they consistently score 40+ in about 33% of their regular season games.Of course Iowa CAN score 40, but I'm never comfortable assuming they will because of the play style. Additionally, the team is pretty banged up this week, presumably down two starters on the OL and they're still going to shuffle a lot of guys in at OL, which makes me feel less confident they'll be able to run at will on Middle Tennessee.
I saw enough out of the run game in Ames to make me think they'll get to a point where this offense is capable of consistently moving the ball because they'll have a dominant run game, I just think they need to get Jackson back and a consistent starting five locked in on the OL before we'll see that. I wouldn't be shocked if they scored 40+ Saturday, but I think it's far from a given.
Really hoping Jackson and the DB's are back for the trip to Ann Arbor.
@BBK and I are appalled at your lack of the Oxford comma.chorizo mac n cheese and popcorn.
I’m appalled at your grammer for thinking he needs one there.@BBK and I are appalled at your lack of the Oxford comma.chorizo mac n cheese and popcorn.
i kinda doubt the team gives a shit about the band or the Busch Light GuyWell by the way this fucking week is going I'm afraid Iowa finds themselves in a real shitfest Saturday. A late TD puts it away and Iowa looks much better next week during their ass pounding of Michigan.
Iowa 30
