It will be hard enough to repeat the execution and intent shown against NwU but, add to that the schizo trends of Iowa "offense" and Minny will be a "1 step back" game.
Jake (and that G.d.G.D.) are already over-thinking the cold and wind -- passing attack will be "forced" into check downs / horizontal passes.
Must retain some vertical passing attack; CJB has stronger arm and more apt to play through the wind to deliver catchable ball.
Minny is susceptible, especially lately, to strong rushing attacks and Iowa's is starting to evolve with the Weisman / Wadley combo.
Minny has allowed the following to opposing QB's
E-Ill 27 rushes = 92 yards
TCU 12 rushes = 92 yards
Michigan(Gardner) 5 rushes = 23 yards
Purdue 10 rushes = 79 yards
Illannoy 17 rushes = 59 yards.
With exception of NwU, every opposing QB has rushed for positive yards. CJB is more mobile and willing to run from trouble.
Not saying CJB should start but definitely needs to play at first sign of offensive stagnation and, intentionally, several series. Otherwise, the box will thicken and this could look a lot like ISU.
