I watched the whole show on Sunday... don't think Jon said that... he did say that he thought Wisc would be a tougher game than MSU.

I said that I didn't think they would go 12-0. I said its possible, but that they would probably lose one.
I think that is me protecting my heart...of course they can win them all..but its tough to allow myself to think they will, especially with two road games left, and one of them at a place where they have just two wins in the last 50 years.

History says that Iowa may drop one... most likely MSU or OSU. I personally think that this team will make history by going undefeated.
There is no offense or defense in the Big Ten that absolutely is better than Iowa's. None.
Iowa hasn't beaten MSU in East Lansing since 1995 and I personally don't know the last time Iowa won in the Shoe but great teams find a way to win. This is a great team. Very special, very well coached.
May scratch by but it will be 12-0 for the Hawkeyes.

If you go by history, the likleyhood is that every BSC conference school will drop 1.
The key is when you get that loss. Lose early in the season and you have time to work your way back up the BCS rankings. Lose in the last half of the season and you're screwed.

The time before that was the Marv Cook catch on 4th and goal from the 23 with time running out.
When you evaluate everything...Iowa has as good a chance to win as MSU. None of you would question that this year's team is special...it has chemistry that I have never seen. It seems to have great leadership at every level. What ever the DKJ issue, it hasn't been disruptive to the team and the public face has been a "what's good for the team type approach."
If you don't think they will play their hearts out, you haven't watched any games. I like the wrestling analogy and believe Glenn makes a good point. The players know what's at stake regardless whether they are looking at the internet or not.
If you turn on any sports show that is all you hear. ***&%#%^( Here we are again the underdog and that even makes me feel better about Iowa's chances tonight. It's worse than Rodney D. Win or lose they they should be the favorite in this game... period.
That being said I believe we come to play and if we were to lose: I STILL LOVE THIS GROUP OF HAWKS!
In summation the game will most likely be decided by who wins the turnover margin and how well Stanzi manages the game.
