I saved his bowl picks to see how they turned out, Iowa's "limited backfield" ended up doing just fine :)

Tuesday, Jan. 5
8 p.m. (FOX) ORANGE: No. 9 Georgia Tech (11-2) vs. No. 10 Iowa (10-2)
The Jackets showed over their last two games that they're mostly helpless to stop a power running attack. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, their limited backfield (103rd nationally in rushing) isn't likely to take advantage. Given a month to prepare, their stout defense should get a handle on Tech's triple-option, but coach Paul Johnson is likely to throw in some wrinkles. Iowa's offense may be too limited to keep up.

Just tell him that "keeping up" is easy when the other team only scores one offensive TD...and he's just another dufus who got bit by the stat ranking bug...even with Shonn Greene Iowa didn't have a huge running game by stats, but it sure was effective and kept the other team honest.
