Consider this. Purdue beats Wisconsin next week. There are pros and cons for Iowa if Purdue wins or Wisconsin wins. For example, we get more leverage on Purdue with them losing with them owning the tie-breaker over us. But, a Purdue win almost certainly drops Wisconsin out of the West race.
Then this happens.........
Wisconsin slithers back to Camp Randall with a loss to Purdue. Their season has nothing exciting left for them other than maybe a mediocre bowl game. Then they have to play Iowa.
Iowa has had 2 weeks to stew on the Purdue set back. They are hearing and will continue to hear how much their offense sucks, how much Petras sucks, and how their defense has taken a step back. This is when a Coach Ferentz team is most dangerous. He gets to play the no respect card. He knows they are playing a one dimensional offense. He knows he has the special teams to give an added edge. The Iowa players have taken much delight in playing on the road this year.
Iowa is the team that has something big to play for.
Everyone expects Iowa to do next to nothing against Wisconsin's defense.
Instead, the defense plays all world again and the offense is clicking. Wisconsin gives up early along with their fans. Iowa rolls to a blow out win.
That would be so Ferentz like.
