I generally have respect for your posts, but this one takes on a whole new level. Even the thought on your brain for a few minutes makes me think WTF.
I’m not in Iowa and from a far I see this team closer to 5-1 than others do. I just have faith in Phil Parker to keep the game respectable. I don’t think Iowa has much of a chance to win, but there’s upsets every year, every week.
Curious, what do you predict for Iowa's final record this year?
You seem uptight. I think most folks here are just posting their opinion....gut feel...best guess....wishful thinking, etc. I don't get the sense that posters are claiming to be the 2nd coming of Nostradamus with their "predictions". Lighten up, Steve.
I really do not think proximity has anything to do with seeing the miserable Iowa offense/coaching.
unfortunately this is what i see. just 1-2 playmakers and we could be in business with a sliver of a chance. extend a couple drives, throw them off their gameplan a bit, play classic kf ball. can't do that with zero spark on o.
7-8 wins is certainly possible. Minnesota has been bit by the injury bug on offense, Purdue has shown weaknesses, Wisconsin isn’t as good as years past, Nebraska and NW aren’t very good. Why not 7-8 wins?
Great, I look forward then to the 4-2 or 5-1 finish to the season. 🤔
I actually did predict the win over Michigan. I'm not claiming to be an expert ....it was just a lucky guess. I have plenty of wrong predictions to counter it!
Not so sure about that. I'm thinking 35-14 or 35-17 and that score is misleading as OSU will need a late score to put it away. I've said multiple times during the season that Iowa will be OSU's biggest test.
You just hit it. Both have punishing ground games and solid defenses but I'd take the Iowa defense over both of theirs.
Nope! At home less than 20% chance, on the road, not going to happen. My family is having a holiday get together, so won't be watching live. If we were 5-1 maybe I'd be watching on my phone but this time, family trumps the Hawks.
I get your point, but nope, not seeing it this particular game, with this particular Iowa team. I don't see this team going into the shoe and stealing one. Gotta have some firepower to pull off a win like this. We don't have it. I won't be surprised if they get shut out, honestly.
We have an extremely bad offense with no passing or running game. Very difficult to get an upset of that magnitude.
This. You can stay in the game against lesser teams, like Iowa State, Rutgers, etc. because our defense is so good and those teams are so offensively challenged. But when you play a team the caliber of Ohio State that's so explosive on offense you can't give them 14-15 possessions in a game and expect your defense to hold them under 28 pts on a great day by the defense. It's just not realistic. We haven't moved the ball all year so nothing would lead me to believe that all of a sudden we get explosive against the number 2 team in the country on the road. 35-7 would actually be reasonable at this point.
He's the best practice qb you guys will ever have, i promise!!You joking, right OP?
Other big upsets usually had one thing on common: a QB with NFL level talent.. Stanzi spent time on the league, CJ spent time in the league, Nate got a cup of coffee in the league;
Spencer, will be fortunate get a camp invite, KF will make sure he does. But he’s the #46th best QB in the draft per this link:

"You guys?" What program do you root for? Just asking for a friend.
Kiss of death post right here. Going on record now that tOSU will have multiple plays of over 40 yards.
