So you are urban Meyer, how do you come into Knick and attack the hawkeyes with your offense?
 
Attack the edges with the running game and passing game. Hit them with crossing patterns in the middle. Take shots down field. Run JT on designed Qb runs. On defense stack the box and blitz blitz and blitz some more.
 
All they have to do is watch the isu game. Osu does kinda the same thing only with superior athletes. This game will not be pretty.
 
Make sure the defensive players remain on exercise bikes to keep limber...between each 3 play duration they are on the field...avoid hamstring injuries for the rest of the season.
 
Just like every other team has done. Load the box on defense and watch AW try to run between the two freshman tackles for zero gain until Iowa "establishes the run". Which they won't.

On offense, meh, do whatever you want.
 
All the preparation is done before the game, in the weeks of practice leading up to the kickoff in Kinnick Stadium. By the time the game starts Urb may just stay in the tunnel eating a slice of pizza while his team goes out and plays the game.
 
It's simple. Don't get cute in the red zone like Penn State did. Shove it down Iowa's throats and if its 4th down and goal, go for it instead of settling for 3. Its not like Iowa is going to drive 95 yards against you anyway.
 
Throw a lot, to whoever Josh Jackson isn't paired up with, and as soon as the LBs go into coverage make them pay with Dobbins against a sub-par DL.

Pretty simple really.
 
Let the QB be silent like Gallaudet QB. I'm sure OSU would have a lot of offside pentalities. It'll be good for extra 5 and ten yards every series. When OSU fiqure out the trick. Go at them hard and hit them harder . wear them down.
 
Same thing they have always done. Kirk has beat them one time. Just do what it is Ohio State does. I do discount Sweater Vests games since he was a &^&@#^&^@ CHEATER!
 
If I were Urban Meyer, I would not bother doing anything new, at least schematically, against Iowa. Nothing has changed (other than some personnel) so whatever he's prepared for in the past should still be applicable. If anything, he could use this as an opportunity to try out a few plays/formations that they might be using against Michigan and/or Wisconsin should they meet in the Big Ten championship game. But that is not very likely, given there's no need to tip his hand to any future opponents in order to beat Iowa.

One thing I expect is he will be pouring it on until the end, he has to make a statement against Iowa in order to enhance his CFP chances. A 2 TD victory margin is not going to get the voters' attention and vault them over Oklahoma if Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State this Saturday. Time is running out for him and he does not want anything (including a tight victory margin) impeding his team's final position in the poll. If they win out, maybe he has little to worry about, but right now he has some work to do.
 
I jump out to a 3 score lead then run the ball for the last 3 quarters. (I'm a fan of derKirkFer, so don't want to embarrass him.)

My biggest concern is keeping guys interested. We are going to sleepwalk the next 3 weeks (Iowa, MSU, Illannoy) before being somewhat challenged, at Michigan.
