Odds Against Indiana

[AreWeThereYet]

Fun fact...

Historically Iowa is 55.3% against the spread with equal rest and an abysmal 42.9% with rest advantage...

Ferentz teams have historically sucked coming off of a bye week. I'm not sure it applies to an extra day of rest.

Too much coaching?

The issue is Indiana can throw or run. Once they got up big, they pounded Illinois with like 12-15 straight run plays. We wont be able to sell out on runs or passes. Phil will have to be very creative with his schemes. Couple that with Lester creating some long, sustained long drives to keep the ball out of their hands. They are somewhat of a tempo style offense. Get them going and it could be a long day for us.

I do think the Rutgers game was much bigger than some realize. A Friday night road game. I believe their homecoming and in their mind a winnable game for them. I'm sure Schiano had this game circled.

The crowd was electric, and we took their best shots and answered. IF we can take that mentality, we have a chance. I'm hoping for some Kinnick magic.

i'd like to see a list of those opponents. I'll be there are enough 'high quality' opponents to skew it.
