Normally, I would be a little nervous about this game, especially sandwiched between ISU and Wisc, but, I get a sense that it's going to be an easy W for the Hawks. The offense is tired of hearing about underperforming and slow starts. I'm expecting a beat down in the first 2 1/2 quarters, then a let up. Look for a lot of frosh to see time in the second half, possibly even Petras.
That said, I wouldn't be sad if the Iowa-UNI series went away. UNI gets a lot of cash and the possibility of a big upset. There is no upside for Iowa.
