If Illinois wins two of their last three, they go bowling. Iowa and Penn St at home and NW on road. After last week, you know they believe they can punch us in the mouth and win. This is going to be a dog fight. Not so fast Hawk family if you think this is an easy win.

Iowa got crushed vs. MARYland. Then bounced back to crush NW.
Now got out-toughed by Minnisota. I doubt they bounce back a second time.
If they squeak this one out, they'll play wisky decent enough (lose by 10) and then surprise us all by beating Nebraska.
If they lose to ILL, Wisky and Nebby pile it on. Kirk seat gets hot for '15. Even the kool-aid drinkers won't take two more home losses. And in November when "KF's teams always get better" mantra gets exposed.
Iowa loses at Kinnick regularly and has for nearly 10 years, dating all the way back to 2005 when Michigan ended their home field winning streak. I'm not sure 2 more home losses is going to be that big of a deal.
This game boils down to one thing: Has Ferentz lost the players? If so, the result will be ugly.

Iowa is gonna crush Illannoy.
That what Minny thought about the Illini....and got rolled. ....and Iowa got hammered by Minny, and yet we will roll the Illini? No logic in that. The Illini are 5 pt dogs, and I would just pray Iowa can win by one.
No game is "scary" to me anymore, as I no longer expect anything out of this huge disappointment of a team.The Illinois game became very scary to me at about the 5 minute mark in the 2nd quarter on Saturday. We absolutely will lose this game if the same Hawkeye team that played Saturday shows up.
If anyone associated with Iowa football isn't absolutely disgusted at Saturdays performance and doesnt do everything possible to get redemption on Sat, then I go full darkside, thank KF for his time and some great memories, and rail against the machine.
