I think we all agree PSU is the better team. Most of us think PSU will win. But, Iowa does have some items they can use for motivation:
* 2016.
They don't allow Saquon Barkely to reach 3000 career rushing yards (121 yds away). This would most likely result in no big plays. Does our defense have the pride to not allow this to happen at Kinnick?
* No one is even considering Iowa has a chance. I just watched halftime of NC State @ FSU, they spent about 2 minutes talking about PSU. Not one word about Iowa, other than, mentioned the game is at Kinnick. That piss me off.
* Saquon Barkley this, Saquon Barkley that...not one mention of Akrum Wadley. AW, go to town tonight. O-Line, YOU control whether AW can go to town or not.
I am not going to call a Hawkeye victory because it will take a perfect game from us and PSU is legitimately good. But, never say never. Things can happen at Kinnick, at night. If Stanley can throw for 250 and 2 tds and we score 35 points, we'll have a chance. So the question is, will be be aggressive or conservative? Conservative loses this game, in my opinion.
