College Football Lookahead: Nos. 36-40 - Washington Times
From article:
37. IOWA
Oh, that AIRBHG is crafty. The Angry Iowa Running Back-Hating God no doubt chortled as two of the Hawkeyes' top four rushers from last year transferred shortly after the season. The No. 2 rusher blew out a knee in spring ball. The No. 3 rusher was dismissed from the team.
As vengeful deities go, AIRBHG surely possesses the sort of furor Jonathan Edwards long ago imagined. But here's the problem: The Iowa tailback curse hasn't stopped the Hawkeyes from rattling off plenty of winning seasons.
And it won't this year, either.
In fact, Iowa won't play a true road game until Oct. 13, owning a real chance to roll into Michigan State with a 5-0 record. The Hawkeyes have a veteran quarterback (James Vandenberg). They have a capable defense.
In short, they have a lot of things. One of them just happens not to be a tailback. But Iowa will find one somehow, hope like hell he doesn't get hurt and wind up 8-4 or 7-5 when the regular season comes to a close.
