Iowa down by 7-10, driving deep into OSU territory late in the fourth when Rudock throws an interception. OSU eats the rest of the clock and kicks a field goal. 34-24 sort of range. Prediction amendment (what I hope happens). Rudock throws a clutch TD or runs it in himself to tie with about 5...

So just 3 non-conference games, or 13 regular season games?

Normally I'm one that takes a hard look at the numbers, but this just feels like a game where Iowa will surprise. I'm still taking them to cover.. Although I hope the line moves to about +19 by the time I place the bet. Plain and simple this team is better than last year with a lot of...

Last week I guessed OSU would open @ -17. I also thought I should take Iowa. Considering I nailed the opening spread, I'm giving serious consideration to making this bet. This isn't last years team and Iowa likes to surprise people by keeping it close when they're expected to get blown out.

I'm guessing those numbers don't include fair catches or non fielded punts. If that's the case, how much do the averages drop. I say try to block it every time. Well...maybe not, penalties would hurt.

Prediction: Every OSU punt (if there are any) Iowa sets up the return. Now the kicker might fair catch it anyway, based on the coverage, but a good football analyst will be able to tell that, right?

Purdues QB will have a career passing day against us. Might be a close game.

With tons of momentum going into halftime I feel like MSU's opening drive of the second half just deflated the entire stadium. After that TD it seemed--at least from my couch--that the crowd was gone and the team had no fire, just going through the motions. It's gonna be sad to watch how...

Once Tate tried to draw the defense offsides on a fourth and short. When it wasn't working, he just started walking to the sideline but the rest of the offense stayed there. I started thinking, once he gets out in space, direct snap to the running back, and Rudock can run down field to become a...

I think he's being utilized perfectly right now. With so little playing time, teams probably can't prepare for him properly. It's probably also his blocking. So if he can't block he can't be in there every down. Plus I'm sure there's plenty of times he was in and didn't get open.

I think it's important to put it into Jakes hands early.. I doubt a pass formation, but maybe play action, or fake hand off, then roll to right and throw to tight end for short gain... Then again a simple run seems likely..

Yep, BWW or Boogaloo. Muddys is a good place to eat maybe for dinner after the game, if you like classic, down home cooking. I've never been a fan really. I can't believe vodka Sam is from Burlington! I wonder if I know her since I grew up there. Hey and maybe you'll run into Mitch...

I never made a pre season prediction, because I really don't like them.. I probably would've said 6-6 based on much improved defense and a Had-to-be-better offense. The offense is about what I expected I think, which means they haven't really impressed me, and I don't think they will impress for...

Does Beathard start the second half?

In the past when people would criticize play calling I never really agreed with them, but I guess I've changed after this season.... On our penultimate drive we're running all over them, and I'm thinking a play action pass to the endzone is coming... It doesn't, and I suppose that could be...

Since Hawkeye football is about the only thing I have to look forward to, I'm forced to think optimistically. Here's how I could see our season going. MO St--- Not damaged by the loss, the offense and defense play more consistently. Not a runaway, but still convincing win 31-10 range...

Week 1: Idaho.

I agree... I haven't seen anyone talk about special teams yet, but if they're successful to very good it could be huge. Meyer certainly seems capable. Even, dare I say, Kaeding-esque? No idea about punter though, need another Donahue, did any of the guys play last year. In terms of coverage or...

I wish I had gone to community college for two years first, then I could have worked at the casino and saved and I'd be sitting prettier now financially... However I never would've figured out my majors and career plans.. Sometimes not knowing is okay because you can figure something out you...

Sure he has a lot of fire and a great motivator, but makes some really dumb coaching decisions. He's still a "fan" and not a coach. I HATE how after every interview he ends with "Go Cats"... And on fourth and 3, up by 25 just across midfield, you GO FOR IT?? Punt the ball away, try to pin us...
