Iowa’s defensive players discuss Georgia Tech’s offense | GazetteOnline.com

Does this sound like what you want to hear from your defensive guys leading up to the game? I was starting to feel good about our chances of containing them on offense despite what some others have been telling me...now I have a very uneasy feeling.

I think its a Kirk Ferentz coached team. they are not going to offer up any bulletin board smack.

The offense is productive, but it's not unstoppable...Miami shut down their rushing attack, and Georgia had their way with it too. And those teams didn't have five weeks to prepare.

the DL has to stay in their gaps, the LB's have to read their keys and not get sucked into misdirection. DISCIPLINE was the word that Greenwood used, and that has been THE word since this matchup was announced.

I think the only worse draw Georgia Tech could have gotten from a bowl opponent would have been Bama's defense.
