IOWA AT WISCONSIN PREDICTION THREAD

[Xerxes]

I really hope I'm wrong, and I hate to say it, but I see Wisconsin running away with this one.

It's a bit of a perfect storm against the Hawks: Wisconsin's coming off of two road losses, they're at home playing a rival in a pivotal West division game and have had two weeks to prepare.

Chryst discussed the strategy of defenses loading the box and made a point to mention that the team worked on countering that. Iowa, of course, is stating that the plan is to load the box. I see us getting burned early and often by play-action and struggling to adjust on the fly. Combine that with an offense that struggles mightily against the 3-4, and it could be a long afternoon.

Iowa would never state what their plan is going into a game. And has Iowa ever loaded the box for anyone?
Including GT back in 2009?

Odds are very high they'll play their standard 4-3 or 4-2-5 in passing situations and rely on executing their game plan which is always stop the run and make teams one dimensional.

Iowa will do what is does and as Kirk will state," we just need to clean up a few things and execute better. I think we lose in a close game 20-17. I just hope we can keep the Wisconsin defense off of Nate because they will be coming on the blitz. I would be shocked if they didn't send the house often after Nate. It's no secret that he can't beat you with his legs.

I'm predicting 16-10 Badgers. Iowa will have a shot to win the game late but Stanley will take a huge sack and the drive will stall.

Iowa is talking far too much about loading the box.

 

[Northside Hawk]

It's difficult to see a win here but I will say this. Wisconsin's special teams are vulnerable. There's opportunities to make plays there.

Wouldn't it be ironic if we pulled out the game because Wisconsin handed it to us on special teams miscues this time?

I had to refresh my memory as to which one was Holly so I Google imaged her. She WAS a hottie for sure.

She's 67 now and my eyes were burned forever seeing a current pic. Looks absolutely nothing like her younger days. Gray hair and butch cut that looks like it was done with a garden clipper.

Some beautiful women can still maintain an older graceful beauty but Father Time was a cruel bastard to Holly.

I have the cure for your burned eyes.

Check out Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island). She still looks great today and is a good fifteen years older than Holly.

I just cant get myself to fully support the idea that Iowa can out Wisconsin, Wisconsin on the road.
It will be close, but Wisky by 4

Mostly cloudy and light winds for Saturday. Should be no weather impact.

 

[westender]

Stop Taylor and then what they got?

 

[Ree4]

Doesn't 10 or less pretty much cover 7 or less and 3 or less.

Yeah people picking 3 or less or 7 or less really pigeonholed themselves hahahah, why would anyone pick that??

 

[Grady]

Stop Taylor and then what they got?

Oh, I don't know...a QB who's completing 75% of his passes and threw for over 400 yards in one game already this year.

Their WR group is good. Not great but they can do damage. I've heard a lot about Iowa loading the box and leaving their WRs on an island (which is so anti-KF its comical). If Iowa does that, they'll be in trouble.

So they never should have lost then!?!??!?!? They should fire their coaches. Has to be their damn fault. Wasted season for the Badgers

Seems like we did that a lot against ISU with newbies and yeah that kid got burnt once. PP aint afraid to do it.

I'd love to see it, but I just can't. Our offense has no punch to it. Especially on the road and FG's aren't going to win this game.

Field goals might, our offense just won’t be able to get enough of them, either.
