It's not an invalid look at the game on paper especially. He fails to point out some of the facts though. The thrashing they took from Illinois, and we frankly should have won the game, and on the road no less. Their offense was just as lifeless as the Hawks early. I would have to give Iowa the edge defensively, but I see where he thinks a good defense will completely shut the Hawks down. Many Hawk fans feel the same. I think Petras has a chance to really silence the critics this weekend, or reignite them.
