23-2? Is that a typo?

 

[haydensly]

Is your score a typo? 23-2? I hope we get more than a safety.....

 

[okeefe4prez]

It's a typo. He bolded Iowa. He meant to type 69, but accidentally hit backspace and fat fingered a 2.

 

[NorthKCHawk]

Rob likes to keep us guessing by leaving off the second number. There are more numbers above Michigans than below. Is Howe predicting a win??????

 

[AreWeThereYet]

A safety or Iowa runs back a blocked extra point for its only score of the game?

It would be an improbable way to end an improbable run at a conference championship. Perhaps even more improbable than somehow winning the game.

And more improbable than being shut out.

 

[RobHowe]

Sorry about that. Should be 20. It's fixed.

KEYS TO VICTORY

Iowa: Start fast and be creative on both sides of the ball.

One thing we haven't seen since Oct 1st, another we haven't see much at all.

Yikes

 

[NCHawker]

I'll be surprised if Iowa scores 20+ points. Now what I don't know is if the hawks can hold Michigan below 20.

That's all I know. and most of what I don't know

 

[Hawkboys]

I'm predicting 14-9 with all the points scored by each team's D.

Are you counting on Michigan's defense two score one field goal or three? I assume the 14 for Iowa is a scoop and score, a pick six, and a safety. Though Kirk either going for two twice or Shudak missing two PATs seems a little suspect.

1 team has 2 D TDs and 1 has 1 TD and safety.

Figured it was either a typo, or you were in a weird mood.

I think they were more concerned about the offense being functional. It's hard to be creative when the blocking is that bad.

Michigan 27 Iowa 13

 

[cincyhawk]

Tired of the pessimism.

18 - 17 Iowa.

4 FGs, a TD and a missed 2 point conversion to try to make it a 3-point game. Iowa only leads for 2:30 of the game.

I'll take it.

field goals and a big special teams play plays a big factor yet again in this game.

On the contrary, you have to be more creative than ever when you can't leverage the basics.
