Nebraska

[NCHawker]

What do you think about this game? You think the ground and pound can generate enough points to win?

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

I am concerned. we will need some passing offense. we still need to run 65%+. I believe we can run on them...but it can't be obvious every time. Misdirection....

Armpunt has been a lot better this year, if he's healthy, the defense will be tested. best receiving core in the B1G, by a margin. can't bank on 3+ interceptions. I'd really like him tweeking that hamstring early...

Cb's, S, and LB play is gonna need to be solid.

Win this game Hawks! Find a way!

 

[uihawk82]

yes if the defense plays great again

 

[ClintonIAfan]

Iowa will win, it's senior day! Iowa shuts them down, gets some turnovers and wins!

 

[NEIChawk]

Nebraska in 1 word.....sucks

I really think the D is going to step like they did against Michigan. We can pull this off and hopefully win whatever bowl game we go to. Then, hopefully Davis retires.

I hope you are correct on every bit of this.

Nebraska probably needs 15 points to win. Run the football, play defense and see what happens. You are simply not going to get anything out of the passing game this year.

Is Arm Strong still their quarterback?

If Iowa wins this game it will make this season feel a lot better.

Imo, the only thing that would make this season acceptable would be running the table. which includes the bowl game. 5 losses is unacceptable, next year you are probably looking at another 5 loss season......Despite KF's job security I really do not think he really wants to go down that path.

We haven't beaten them in Kinnick since 1981, that's a long time.

 

[hawkinn3]

We win we finish 2nd in the West to a team we had a real close game with.

Some say it makes our season ok. I say the inexcusable loss to ndsu becomes more of an embarrassment.

 

[tksirius]

Regardless of how this season ends, greg derpus absolutely must go.

Have we played them on the road the last two years?

Nevermind. I'm an idiot. I had erased the epic meltdown against them in 2014 from my memory.

First year starting quarterbacks normally do pretty good under Kirk. I'm more worried about how bad we will under achieve in 3 years when Stanley is a senior.

 

[hawkeyes87]

Hawks really need Armstrong to play.

Couple key mistakes from him will be the difference.

That means its time. Its time.
