Weather will be a factor.

Right now forecast of high of 42 degrees and very windy. Means teams with the wind will have field position and take a shot or two downfield. Teams into the wind will run the ball and coverage will be tight by the D daring you to throw over the top.

Neither team can really pass anyway for a lot of the same reasons. At this point Lunt is probably better playing behind a worse line.

Nevermind how wind impacts passing (5-yard-pass game immune to that anyway) - how will that impact Ron C ?
 
Well we cant throw anyway so I can't say it's going to change the game plan any. I like our chances more if the Illinois can't execute in the passing game

HM: "Mr. Brown, what about the head coach?"

JB: "Hingle, have you forgotten about the little known codicil in the Faber, I mean U of Iowa charter that reads: Anyone making 10 times as much as the governor will be declared King of the school and not be held accountable for anything. Said King will be protected by an army of blame-shifters paid a generous salary to produce propaganda while proclaiming him faultless in all things pertaining to his job."

HM: "Oh. I didn't know about that Mr. Brown."

JB: "Not your fault Hingle. The athletic director pays many people to keep you ignorant of reality."

make a volume investment - especially in those midwest stadiums whose fields lie N - South (with an open North / NW end).... take the Under in every game and have a nice Saturday. Ia/Ill, ISU/TTech, Minn/NW for openers
