There is no body of evidence to suggest the Hawks are capable of scoring more than 21 against a quality opponent.

 

[JonDMiller]

I am going 31-17 Iowa

Do tell... where do you see us getting 31 in Memorial Stadium? We've only broken 30 twice all year...against WMU and Purdue

 

[Herkyalert]

Mandel picks Iowa. That's rich.

The Huskers are a turnover factory...and they are also a bit fragile on both sides of the line of scrimmage. I think they are just a little bit better than Michigan.

That would apply to Iowa as well, yes?

My thoughts exactly. Seems odd to pick one of the "5 worst coaches" for an upset in Lincoln.

You are correct. Thank god we don't play one this week. Nebby's defense is a mess and they don't like playing too much against physical teams. If we don't turn the ball over and can get some points early with a few sustained drives, the game will set up pretty well for us. Quite simply, we just can't turn the ball over and win this game.

 

[HawkeyeMcNutt]

Hawks 59-3.

Without actually watching the game, that would probably be the consensus. If Iowa played Michigan again tomorrow, I would give 14 points and feel quite confident Iowa would cover.

Ohio State thinks they are a quality opponent...

 

[JonDMiller]

No in my opinion. I think Iowa is noticeably better than Michigan. They shot themselves in the foot for a half and still won the game and nearly tripled up Michigan in yardage. Michigan gained 45 yards in the second half of that contest.

Iowa was the better team and it wasn't even close. Most of the time the worse team will need a turnover or 2 to overcome the fact that they aren't as good. Michigan got that, and still couldn't win.

Hawks 59-3.

I'll have what he's having.

This. If you just look at the score, one might believe it was close. I was at the game, and Iowa dominated the entire game start to finish. Iowa kept Michigan in the game with turnovers. That game was truly Iowa beating themselves.

 

[LASBUR]

27-20 Iowa

 

[ICHawk24]

This. If you just look at the score, one might believe it was close. I was at the game, and Iowa dominated the entire game start to finish. Iowa kept Michigan in the game with turnovers. That game was truly Iowa beating themselves.

Nearly 3 to 1 yardage advantage for Iowa.

I'll go 24-13 Iowa.

Isn't Stephen Bardo a basketball color analyst? A Illini alum at that, why in the **** is his prediction in there?

Interesting. The media goes 3:1 for a Husker victory. None of the B!G and ESPN cited went w/ Iowa.

A quick look at the numbers shows Nebraska 23, Iowa 21 in average.

The plus Iowa crowd show Iowa in the win column 24-19 and the plus Nebraska people are going with a 24-20 Husker victory.

I'm going w/ a Hawkeye win today and the 24-19 average score got my head coming up w/ scenarios to fit it...

It's 21-17 Hawkeyes late in the 4th quarter. The Huskers pin the Hawks on their own goal line after a booming punt and the O can't get anything going. With the LOS on the 3, punting from their own endzone is making KF nervous. The D has been pretty solid so KF has the Hawks take a safety. It's now 21-19 Hawks. The kick off finds the Huskers on their 35, with just under 3 minutes to play. They fumble on their first play and the Hawks recover on the 31. Three plays later the hawks find themselves on the Nebraska 22 and Meyer kicks a field goal with 1:16 on the clock. The Huskers manage to get one first down after the kick off but run out of time outs. K3 spikes the ball on a third down to stop the clock w/ 7 seconds remaining. They line up in a spread, w/ thoughts of the NW game, only to suffer a sack as time expires.
