Iowa at Purdue score?

As with any qb starting his first game we could see CJ make some mistakes. I'm hoping he doesn't but a gunslinger could throw an int. or two because they have the mentality that they can make any pass. That being said there's also the fact that his playing style provides the opportunity for us to score more points. Either way Iowa will be at 4-1 after Saturday.
 
so you're saying that Jake plays better defense than CJ...?
No, he is saying we score faster with CJ instead of these life sucking methodical drives that lead to nothing when JR was guiding the ship. Therefore, Purdue may get a couple of extra drives or score a garbage touchdown late when the game has already been decided.

Defense lets up and gives up a TD late since they are up big, whereas with Rudock it would be tight and the D plays accordingly.

Are you saying O and D are played in a vacuum?
 
Purdue has a good pass rush...their d-tackle leads the league in sacks...they have a bunch of speed rushers and they will blitz like crazy...so I see Iowa running the ball to keep them at home, and hopefully, going play-action downfield. It will be a close one for 3 qtrs., and then Iowa scores a late td to win 27 - 13.

What the........ When did this h.......How did this happen??
 
We don't have to complete a lot of long balls...just vertical often enough to keep the D honest long. (duh.. glad somebody finally figured that out after 3 weeks of pathos).

Iowa - 34
Creepy engineer guy with big head - 10
 
CJ starts the game with a couple of pick 6's. But he gets it together in the 2nd half. Ridiculously close game.

24-21 Iowa
 
Based on the expected offensive production, looks like expectations for iowa football have sunk a long way. 1/3 into the season now, are you happy with the status and direction of the program?
