Predictions for Albany

[NorthKCHawk]

Alright boys, season is finally here. Let's start some prognosticating and discussions!

A game like this seems like a sleeper. Pretty weak opponent, even by cupcake standards. But, its the first game and with a new QB and second year of a real offensive system, I am excited to see how Gron and the offense look against an inferior opponent out of the gate. I think the offense clicks right away and moves and scores early and often. The defense looks like Iowa's defense. Maybe a few more first downs than we like, but they bend but do not break. Subs galore in the 4th Quarter turns things sloppy by the time I am 6 beers in.

Iowa 34
Great Danes 6

(which actually does not cover the 38 point spread!!!)

My predictions are always so horribly wrong.
So this year, I'm going with an ineffective passing game and an anemic o-line coupled with a strong defense, Iowa wins 23-3. That's 3 safeties, 3 field goals, a Wetjen punt return for a TD with a 2 point conversion off a fumbled long snap that the holder somehow runs in. And they give up a late field goal in scrub time.

Not sure about the score, or why I'm so optimistic about this, but I think we cover. With the preseason hype Gronowski and our revitalized passing game is generating under Lester I think we come out swinging for the fence. We have a good idea what's in the stables at the RB position, but with ISU looming on the road next week I think we open up the play book and look to attack before pumping the brakes a bit on the road next year and go back to our bread and butter of depending on the defense, running the ball to dominate time of possession, and reliance of special teams to get it done in Ames.

Strong take. If only it were not all that far fetched!
