Have we had a Western Michigan prediction thread yet?

Can someone do an analysis of how many onsides have been attempted against Iowa in the past 10 years and the success rate of those and then post the success rate of onsides generally? Maybe we are okay at covering them and I'm just being a moron here, but I've seen liek 3 onside recovered against teams other than Iowa in my whole life and I swear I've seen Iowa give up more than 3.[/QUOTE]

Well, maybe there is hope for some of you on here. Nice to see that it's possible for the rose tinted glasses to come off.

Not gonna predict a loss, but will predict another tight, nail-biting game at home against a MAC opponent:

Iowa - 27
WMU - 24
 
I feel this one as a tight first half game, and then Iowa's run game is able to wear down WMU's defense in the second half. I'd say Weisman runs for 120 yards and 2 TD's on 25 carries. I also think Rudock has one rushing and one passing TD on the day and the Hawks go home happy. Iowa 31, WMU 17.

Alright ladies and gents, this is how it will go down. We will pull out to a KF blow out before halftime with solid 10-0 score heading into the third quarter. After that KF goes into run the clock mode and we have two drives where it is 2 terrible runs and a third down pass going no where. WM scores a field goal and KF realizes he might have to score again before the day is over. This will be like pulling teeth but we will scrouge out another TD to roll the blow out to 17-3. Then 8 minutes into the fourth quarter they will score a TD because our safeties will get lost in coverage again. Score comes to 17-10. 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter we pull out a solid drive that ends with penalties and a field goal makes the score 20-10. Quickly in less than 2 minutes WM scores and the box score comes to 20-17 with less than a minute on the clock. They kick an onside kick and fail to recover.
