Iowa is not going to play for a nc.

The people who continue to laugh at others for predicting a loss @ Michigan shows just the utter delusion that takes place on most message boards.

We've won like 2 times in Ann Arbor in the last 25 years? We barely beat them last year in Kinnick (by two points). They turned the ball over 5 times and we can only win by 2 points.

Robinson came in and totally ran all over our defense. Had there been 5 minutes left in that game they would have probably beaten us.

Yes - we are early in the season, but Michigan is clearly better this year and it isn't a secret that Rich Rod's offense thrives with a ummmm fast quarterback.

We might head into that game undefeated and we could still be underdogs. If there's any type of offense we struggle with it is shotgun offenses that use short passes and spread option running. We don't match up well at all with their offense. Not at all.

Yeah, Robinson did run all over our defense. Our defense was rushing 3 guys, and expecting the pass at this point in the game. Plus, the D prepared for Forcier, not Robinson. 2 completely different QB's. This year will be no different. Iowa will prepare for Robinson, and shut him down. He might break a few runs, but you can bet they'll have AC, or another Dlineman spying on him. He won't **** a drop.
 
Michigan's offense will be much better with Robinson at QB. I still feel that the Michigan defense is FULL of holes. UConn really didn't offer up much of a challenge so it's hard to say at this point where the Michigan defense is at.

Robinson scares me a little. Those elusive QB's have been hard for Iowa to stop, as someone eluded to earlier. The only issue will be if he can stay healthy for the entire season. It looks like Michigan will rely on him for the majority of their offensive yards (passing and rushing). That's a big challenge for one player. If he gets dinged up, Michigan's season could take a dramatic turn.

Another thing in Iowa's favor is that the Hawks have a bye week before they play at Michigan. Even still, Iowa doesn't come out of the Big House with a "W" very often. Tough challenge.
 
If we are 1-2 on Sept 19, this board will go into complete meltdown. Funny thing is that even if we are 1-2, I could still see us going 10-2.
