Keys to the game today

I guess most would say turnovers on a bad weather day might be the difference

Iowas ability to run the balll

Stop Oregon making the big play. Speed might be the difference

I have to ask the question again. If Iowa wins the toss does Ferentz take the ball

Yes. I don't like it, but I assume their thinking is, if they lose, they will be getting the ball first. So, you can start with the ball every week, and kick the second half every week. I guess I can see the logic of wanting the consistency, but there's a reason that when other teams win, they defer. Strange to give that advantage, especially for a generally slow-starting offensive team.
