"Pests", lol, I like that. Well said.
- Purdue is moderate concern for me. On paper, I think we handle them comfortably. In practice, I am concerned that there might be a PSU hangover effect.
- Wisconsin really worries me. At Madison is never pleasant and Wisconsin is very salty on D this year. Offensively, they've been dangerously close to non-functional at times this season, but Chryst seems to know the buttons to push against us. Very worried.
- NW is hard to get a read on. I had them safely tucked into my "creampuff" folder earlier this year, but I'm not quite as confident now. That Nebraska game was a shellacking, but I think Nebraska is significantly better than their 3-4 record shows. We'll be coming into that NW game off of either a huge W or L, no two ways about it. Hangover effect scares me again.
It's going to be a nerve wracking couple of months, for sure.

This is a very dangerous period
Three extremely problematic teams that have plagued the Hawks
for literally years
Have to maintain our intensity and discipline
Dispose of them like the dirty diapers that they really are

I mean, with how dead the Iowa offense has looked at times I don't blame them.
Plus it's Iowa, you just kind of expect disappointment at some point
