Prediction: Iowa 19, Iowa St. 16

I think you misplaced one of those ones, did you mean Iowa 119, Iowa St. 6?

We are on the right side of some early TO’s, and unlike last weekend, we capitalize on them. Add 7 points to the IA score you project. Not sure i want to concede 16 to the clones though. Unless it is 3 FG’s and the td in garbage time……

If they follow the ND gameplan, they are whipping out the air raid, which will probably get some points, and as you point out, turnovers. If they do run an air raid and we do hold them to single digits, holy hell is this defense elite.

Great post. This game is always close. Turnovers and being able to run the ball seem to decide this game just about every time.

Weird to me that the Hawks are only a -2.5 point favorite, which means that on neutral ground ISU would be a 1 pt favorite on a neutral field or a 4 pt favorite in Ames.

It is up to 3 or 3.5 depending on where you look.

How can anyone have confidence in this Iowa offense, yet? I think Iowa needs to hold ISU to less than a TD to win OR score on defense/special teams.

Its going to take Vegas more than one game to concede we actually may have an offense with a pulse this year!

This the 5 year anniversary of probably the most bizzare Iowa-Iowa St game in history.

The rain delay game in Ames in 2019. Started on the Afternoon. Finished under the lights. The Iowa band got in a fight with Iowa St fans. And the game was won on this play

Brutal way for Iowa state to lose to Iowa !!

Every time I watch that clip it brings a smile to my face.

70K Kinnick fans raining down noise and hatred upon the Clowns can't be discounted.....

Me too

ISU's weird defensive structure will probably give us fits, but we will bust a couple plays and win the field position battle. I will go Iowa 20, Clowns 14.

 

[Zamboni08]

All I'll say - I think Iowa -2.5 or -3 is an ATM tomorrow. Make some dough, folks!

The game I don’t remember even though I watched it. Was in Vegas drinking and kept going thru the delay. Woke up in my hotel room and saw they won when I checked my phone.

The upside is that they are going to have to abandon their usual 3-3 front six, with their top two linebackers out.
