[Hawkeye News]

PSU is perfectly capable of rolling Iowa Saturday. Their recent bumps are no more indicative of talent than our mauling of a W team that, frankly, rolled over and quit. Hopefully the players keep their heads screwed on as the good Captain strives to impress upon them the challenge ahead. Backup QB or not. Gronowski needs to be more mobile this week and a playmaker again. PSU isn't rolling over like Bucky and letting our running game dominate them.

PSU is perfectly capable of rolling Iowa Saturday. Their recent bumps are no more indicative of talent than our mauling of a W team that, frankly, rolled over and quit. Hopefully the players keep their heads screwed on as the good Captain strives to impress upon them the challenge ahead. Backup QB or not. Gronowski needs to be more mobile this week and a playmaker again. PSU isn't rolling over like Bucky and letting our running game dominate them.

The one problem is Gronowski doesn't appear to have his legs under him. I don't think is close to 100%. He's a gamer. Wants to be out there and lead, but what I noticed on a couple of his scrambles, he looked about 1/2 to 3/4 speed of what he usually is.

I'm guessing either he or possibly the staff have cautioned him are keeping the reigns on his ability to scramble or run. I fear if they get pressure or on roll outs, it could affect his abilities. Guess we will see. But Iowa best be ready for a dogfight. This team will rally around their coaches and be highly motivated.

Iowa needs to at least weather their barrages, and execute. Potentially, after that, I could see PSU waving the white flag and folding, but if it remains a dogfight, they will continue to believe.
