Iowa v Nebraska Prediction thread

at this point, anything is gravy. 7 wins is 2 more than i thought was possible. a win over Nebby, now matter how ugly or what the conditions, would make this season a huge success in my book.

i'm going the optimistic route and picking Iowa 31 - Nebby 20, with Pelini getting fired immediately after the game. Anyone can score on Nebby, and run the ball too, so i think Iowa (and Kirk) goes for the kill shot.
 
31-28 hawks.

All time high 4 TDs for the hawks and Iowa gives up some big plays. This one will be a crowd pleaser.

Iowa comes out spitn nails - the opposite of what we sall in 2011 when they looked like they just pushed away from a big Thanksgiving dinner.
 
This should be a great game. Two evenly matched teams, edge goes to home team and the spread shows it.

Based on our lack of recent success against Nebby, I'd say we lose but hopefully this is the game that we can send a message to the huskers that this is a true rivalry game.
 
Personnally I think the hawks are really confident in their scheme and preparation. I think the hawks can gouge them on the ground as long as we dont go to too many slow stretch plays. Canzeri and bullock on the stretch play looking to cut back against nebby's pursuit. Weisman and daniels straight at them.

I also think the hawk passing game is getting more efficient.

The hawk defense will get after them and my only worry is abdullah's speed.

I have it 20-17 Iowa also.
 
28-14 Iowa

Again ugly, ugly crowd-pleasing game. Be sure to preemptively take your nitrogen pills because it is going to be an emotional roller coaster.
 
we got this. With a healthy Weisman and Canzeri getting better every week, Iowa can grind it out and eat clock. Nebby last minute victories will come to an end.
 
We put it all together, reminiscent of the Western Michigan game. Come out pumped up and firing on all cylinders. We put a complete beat down on the OTHER corn state 42-17. Polini prematurely fired. The other corn state makes another bad hire to fill their coaching vacancy. Thus starting the downward spiral until little red finally realizes they ARE a perennial 7-5 team from a semi-arid sh**hole, that is even further in the middle of nowhere than their far superior, neighboring state, of the hawkeye nation.
 
I think the hawkeye team is very motivated right now. They have a tremendous amount of momentum right now. Not so sure that is true over in Nebraska.
 
We need to jump out of the gates strong, which unfortunately is not typical. nebby has a knack for pulling out close games. Kill their crowd early....
 
Hawknick, agreed there....Hawks have played better this year on the road than they have at home.

Iowa 27, Neb 20

Seriously? Have you not watched any Iowa football this year?

Iowa is absolutely killing teams in the first half this year.
