Work on the offensive line. Get the rushing game going and then the passing game will open up. Rest up starters. It's going to be a long season. Get a lead. Work in the backups. Build up the stats.

Against Iowa State, Iowa's defense and special teams were the offenses best friend. Lets not forget, Iowa's offense scored 14 points on their own in the first half while Iowa State managed 10 points. Iowa's offense had the team in the game before the defense kicked the Cyclones to the curb with...

Surprised he wasn't gone after the butt whopping Iowa gave them

Other than Goodson's big run the offense was mediocre. Defense on the other hand had no problem handling Indiana's offense. Petras, happy feet in the pocket. Not relaxed. Anxious. And this was with a average pass rush. Iowa State will bring constant pressure from different directions. Petras...

Iowa will jump two maybe 3 points in the polls. Penix wasn't ready this game mentally or physically. Over all it looked like Iowa was ready for the game. Indiana looked like a team that needed a tune up game to get ready. The defense dominated. There were bright spots on offense, Spencer...

NW getting beat by Michigan State. Could be interesting.

Iowa and Indiana are closely matched. But if Iowa's offense keeps Indiana's defense occupied. Iowa wins. 24-17

I hope your right.

Nebby loses to the team expected to be on the bottom of the B10 West. Nebby was unprepared, undisciplined. Same ole mistake prone Nebby we've grown to love! Neither of these teams is a contender. It's like watching two fat kids slap fighting over the last piece of cake.

Yes. I agree. I'm thinking easy passes, runs. Just let the defense do their stuff until Petras gets going.

I see Petras coming out nervous, trying to hard and then finally settling down. After that Iowa starts to control the game. The defense plays tough and gets a interception or two. Iowa's defensive line struggles a bit but they settle down to an effective containment of Pennix. Once Petras...

And once again we have BTN saying the Rodents will be a contender. This is the same group that's been touting the virtues of Nebraska.

Iowa's defensive backfield and defense should slow Indiana's offense. Iowa's offense needs to keep Iowa's defense off the field while scoring a few points.

I don't see Iowa losing to Minny. But I do have them at 8-4. With losses to Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa State and a team they shouldn't lose to

If we lose to Northwestern again, Iowa is going to be lucky to end up 7-5

It's official. Texas and Oklahoma leaving the B12. Now the rest of the B12 will have to scramble get out the door before the conference crumbles. Without Texas/Oklahoma the TV revenue faucet will turn into a dribble. Smaller athletic budgets, less money for coaches and facilities. Iowa State...

Campbell leaves. They will return to a 4-8 win team

Iowa State is strong this year, but where will they be the year after Campbell is lured away? Just another win for Iowa every year? The West doesn't need another cellar dweller.

Without Oklahoma or Texas the Big 12 will be little more than the Mountain West, MAC or the other little conferences

Given the chaotic nature of last year it's tough to grade Petras. Few teams played to their normal level. Iowa won't be getting any tune ups to start out the year. So Spencer Petras will have to come out on the top of his game. That's a tough order for an experienced quarterback. If Iowa wins...
