Predictions for Minny?

I'm predicting the secondary gets things figured out and our special teams get back to their old ways as Dakin gets more lift out of his punts and gets the hangtime back where it should be. Offense takes a step back from recent numbers but continues to show improvement. I'm thinking Hawks by 10 at 24-14.
 
We will be up by 9 at half (16-7) and then do virtually nothing during the second half. Minnesota will score 7 (16-14) and we will have a 2 point lead and the ball with 2 minutes left and not achieve a first down. We will then punt it back to Minnesota with 1:45 left on the clock and then watch with a feeling of great dismay as they drive down needing only a field goal to win. If our defense stops them, we win 16-14. If they do not, we lose 16-17. I'm feeling optimistic, so I'm going with Iowa wins 16-14.
