Predictions for Big Ten Championship Game.......

[mhawk]

MSU may have a better passing attack, but they have only 1 receiver that makes you real worried. Hopefully King can make it difficult to throw to Burbridge.

CJ has been looking better health wise, so I think this will help with him scrambling for 1st downs. That has been the difference in our offense this year.

Don't forget that CJ has a big arm. I am much more confident that he can pass with success being indoors, especially if his health is improved.

At the end of the day, I can't pick against these Hawkeyes. The Hawks are set to prove everyone wrong. We may need a little good fortune, but I think the way this year has gone, we'll get it!

31-30 Hawks!

MSU Running I think will be shut down, Connor Cook will make better decisions than TA. Expecting MSU to put points on board.

IOWA Can and should run the ball, I would expect great success, then add a few passes. I think IOWA will score.

I would predict that Iowa control the game by running the ball, then Iowa Defense bending bending some more and allowing long drives to MSU that will either end in FG or long pass play that gives a TD.

Should be a good game to say the least!

For any who think Connor Cook is so much greater than the rest of the Big Ten QBs, here are the stats:

10	Chris Laviano, QB	RUTG	187	307	60.9	2247	7.3	58	16	12	24	131.8

This chart shocked me. Connor cook may be a bit of a media creation.

I think it comes down to a last minute field goal. Marshall Koehn has proven he can make a clutch kick. IOWA.

But we can't be having him missing easy field goals ESPECIALLY pat's.

Just saw a short video with Paul Feinbaum. Said Iowa has NO chance against MSU.

My hope is he keeps saying Iowa has no chance, is going to lose, blah, blah, blah, because he's been wrong every week.

The day that Mickey Mouse looking fool picks Iowa to win means the Hawks are screwed big time.

The last thing Iowa needs and I couldn't be more sincere, is for Feinbaum to be on Iowa's side.

He also said Alabama's toughest game is Saturday and if they played Iowa the score would be 49-0 at halftime.Let the games begin,go Hawks.Thats why you play the game
