Just like most games...yards won't matter, it'll come down only to turnovers.
Here's why I am not worried about beating the clones this season...............

Do you understand the nature of the Iowa-Iowa State series in football and basketball? Steel Jantz? LaFester Rhodes? There are many games where someone will look like an all-star against Iowa never to be heard from again. Either Coe will look better than Ndamakong Suh for 60 minutes or ISU's QB will come out of the game on the Heisman watch list. It is a law of nature.

If Iowa is able to have success running the ball on ISU Gred Davis will simply change it up and go with something that won't work.
Thats what we're dealing with.

I agree with you on the clown that's "never to be heard of from again" in past years. After watching their game on Saturday I don't believe it's going to happen. They're bad and not just sorta bad.
Then again, Ferentz sucks at preparing the guys for ISU.

I think Iowa is 0 for their last 5 or 6 against less talented teams.
Playing an awful team has never stopped Kirk from losing a game, he usually finds a way to do it.

less talented being your subjective viewpoint.

Whos taking it lightly? I see most everyone predicting a loss.

They could and should have easily had that against NIU. Didn't matter. Iowa found a way to lose.
I don't trust this staff to not find a way to lose.

So basically, both teams' fanbases are convinced that their own teams suck (and they'd be right, as of this moment) and so we can hope for a 7-3 final score to out-stink last year's stinkfest? Oh. Boy. Sign me up.
Honestly, this is the first time that I can remember not giving a flying monkey trucker about this game and just knowing that it will be more fun to drink than to watch it. Heck, I'd rather watch tOSU beat up on another D2 school...

I comfortable with my subjective opinion on it. Those are crap teams that Iowa lost to and in allot of them it took some stupid mistakes by Iowa to lose.
Iowa State was +2 on turnovers vs uni and they fumbled one in the endzone taking points directly off the board.
Iowa State should have lost that uni game by at least 15. If turnovers were even it probably would have been 21+

The fact that you have not included Northwestern in the "less talented" teams we have lost to speaks volumes about the state of Iowa Football. The talent on this ballclub has slid drastically in the past 5 years.

The fact that Minnesota is on the list of less talented teams also speaks volumes. We're talking about the legacy of Carl Eller and Bruce Smith here. If Bronko Nagurski read this, he'd climb out of his urn and inflict as much severe brain damage on you people as he received on the field.

Yeah, hard to believe Minnesota has fallen so far. But Brock Lesnar went there for wrestling. I'd take Brock Lesnar over Ashton Kutcher and Tom Arnold.

I agree with most of them, but NIU came in with a very talented QB and a offensive line that has been together for two years. And they won 12 games last year. And now that they have beat Iowa they will probably be undefeated in the regular season.
