Maryland

Wow...something negative out of you. Surprising.
My whole point is that people are sleeping on Maryland. I said something similar about them before the season started. It's good that we have them at home, but that apparently doesn't matter as much as I thought it did.
 
If their offense stays healthy, we lose to them as well. At least 2 more losses coming from these guys and Pedo St.

Regardless of last night's result, Maryland is going to be a very tough game to win for Iowa. Athletically its a mismatch. Hopefully Iowa can overcome their coaching staff and get it done.

They've beaten Texas 2 years in a row now. Texas beat (at the time) #22 USC by 23pts and just beat #17 TCU by 15pts.

If MD didn't have all those injuries on offense last year, they would have finished a lot better.

If I had to guess based on results at this time:
We lose to
@Penn St 90%
@Purdue 70%
Maryland 55%

These teams certainly have it in them to give Iowa Ls.


I think at least a 75% chance we lose one of these, @minny, @Indiana, Northwestern.....the annual lose to somebody we should not.

In the win column as long as no major injuries:
Nebraska 90%
Illinois 70%

50-50 games
@minny
@Indiana
Northwestern

All adds up to 8-4 or 7-5.

I said in a post last week on upcoming games that it depends on what Maryland team shows up. They have speed which can be a problem for Iowa. Do we put middle lbkrs on wideouts in the slot against them, that is problematic.

If they dont have a great offensive line I like our chances but if really good maryland comes to kinnick the hawks could lose or it will need to be a shootout.

I still think the hawks are in control of everything in front of them except for the PSU game.

It'll be interesting to see how Purdue plays from here on out. If they go on a winning streak, it's probably safe to say that Brohm is the real deal. Didn't they lose quite a bit from last year's team?

The thing about that game is it's at Purdue, and if their only loss is to Ohio St from this point on, we might be in trouble.

Yep.....I think they have enough in the tank to do it to us there. They showed that with Boston College and it is at there place. It is the type of game 7 or 8 Kirk usually drops.
 
We lose to Maryland, PSU, Purdue. I think we also lose a game to NW, MINN, or INDY. Any team that has athletes and can put up points is going to give us problems because we won't be able to keep up.
