We’re Gonna Get Killed By Nebraska Next Week

I suppose there's always a chance that Fant's dad could be a double agent and reveal top secret team information to Frost and his staff.

:p
 
We played the worst team in all of P5 football tonight. Just for context.

And the rubes who are hyped up now...you know how that’s turned out so far, huh?

Gotta look for positives against a common opponent.

No doubt "good Iowa, good KF/BF, good Stanley" need to show up....however....

nebby gave up 500+ yards, 35 points to this Illinois team...1 week ago....in Lincoln.

Now, dont get me wrong, if we get down early, have turnovers, and give up big plays... it could be bad. nebby can score points and has talent.

Hawks need to be fired up and start fast.

This game is a big one for this Hawkeye fan.
 
3 things have to occur to beat Nebraska:

1. Stanley has to play his most accurate game of the year.
2. Brian has to let KOK call the plays.
3. Parker's defense has to live up to their ranking.
That is hammer hitting nail on head.Kok cancels ghosts of GD. Its a doable.Go Hawks
 
MSU- To their credit they gutted this one out, but needed the help of 2 turnovers, shitty weather, and a 15/41 performance by MSU's QB, who themselves have been having offensive troubles, and mustered a measly 9 points against them while fumbling twice. As I expected the first real defense they've faced during their recent run largely stymied them, so forgive me if I'm not shaking in my boots.
Have to throw that game out due to the weather, I'm afraid. I hope I am wrong, I just really, really hate to lose to Nebraska.
 
I think we need an at least decent run game to give us a time of possession advantage. The longer we can keep their offense on the sidelines, the better. And if our defense plays like I think it can, we can control their offense, at least to some degree. Not looking for a shutout next week through, they will move the ball and score some points. The "X" factor will be to control Martinez and not let him get out of the pocket and burn us for long runs (especially on third downs). And Nebby's defense is not exactly world-beater either.

#1, run the ball effectively. Control the pace. It's how we've rolled them recently
#2. Pressure Martinez (your #3). Keep the edge on him but dont sit back.
#3. Be + in the turnover margin
