Purdue Favored

He could literally throw 5 picks and not get pulled

Does not matter what you spout off about. Stanley will play well and Iowa will win by a couple of TD's. Our D will be just fine. Will be there.

BTW: I don't typically post during the game since I am almost always in attendance. There you go, TK.

Saying Nate will play well is pure speculation at this point, I hope he plays well but that is no guarantee. I just hope we get an early lead and keep the foot on the throttle.

Current forecast for Saturday in Lafayette, 52, mostly sunny, winds 5-10 mph. So that eliminates one of variables that impacts our QB's psyche. I feel pretty good about our chances if weather holds. Probably a bounce back game with 3 or more passing TDs

He wasn't "some kind of decoy". One of the replays showed he actually took a couple of steps back on the snap and waved his hands as though it would be a backwards pass to him initially - who knows what was going on downfield for a possible second pass. Just not sure what the entire play was going to be - there hasn't been an "eagle's eye" view of that replay that I've been able to find.

He was nothing of a threat. He was ZERO. He was NOT a threat except for one thing, throwing. The fact he had NObody near him says, "Just cover downfield, guys, Number 4 is NOT going to run if he gets the ball".

I don't know whether to say I expect or it's more that I hope Iowa comes out with an intense offensive effort. All I can say for sure is that if they don't it's going to be another sad Hawkeye day.

Purdue is an offensive threat and the defense and special teams need some help on the scoring front.

Iowa's defense can't beat both Iowa's offense and Purdue's offense.
