Preview, Prediction: Iowa-Wisconsin Football

FWIW, there's some smoke that Braelon Allen is going to transfer to USC or Michigan after the season.
 
I hope the coaches are watching the 2009 Iowa - Wisconsin replay currently playing on B10 Classics.
Iowa struggled to run all day, but eventually won due to outstanding defense and a strong passing game against the WI defense selling out to stop the run.
 
The projected final score of 16-13 sounds about right, but it wouldnt surprise me a bit if it was either team. Last team to slog it close to the red zone wins.................
 
I give the nod to the home team. This teams are pretty similar and I feel like this is the year that reverses recent trends (we beat Purdue and NW, but lose to ISU and Illinois). I feel like we are due to beat Wisconsin.
 
Iowa will have to make fewer mistakes and less serious mistakes. I hope Iowa can establish some semblence of a running attack and some rudimentary passing. D will need to limit big plays and get some key negative plays in W territory
 
Wisky is 4-0 at Kinnick with fans in the stands. Recent history is the best predictor of the near future, until proven otherwise. Badgers 17-13.

Wisconsin has won 8 of the last 10. The 2 victories for Iowa came on a fluke fumble at the goal line and the covid year. The Iowa offense has really struggled to move the football since Wisky switched to a 3-4 zone blitz scheme.

Unless Brain or whoever can figure out a way to run the football when the cutback lanes are all clogged up, and help Petras recognize where the pass rush is coming from...Iowa ain't winning this.
 
He's definitely in a spot to command some serious frickin cash from either one. USC has F you money even more than Michigan does.


If you are an offensive skilled player in Lincoln Riley's offense, it just increases your value. If he is a 4th or 5th round pick at Wisconsin, he will be a 2nd or 3rd at SC. Why not get paid now and get paid later.
