Incarnate Word 55, Nevada 41 -- Iowa's next opponent goes down

[Beattheohiostate]

Yep, Nevada stops by Iowa City next Saturday after giving up 55 points, over 400 yards and 4 passing TDs to that gridiron juggernaut known as Incarnate Word. But for the uninformed, here are a few facts about IW: It's a private, Catholic university of about 5,000 students with its main campus in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 1881, it began playing football in 2009 in Division II. It stepped up to D1 in 2013 and, as you know, yesterday IW piled up the points on Nevada, Iowa's next opponent.

So the questions are many: Will Iowa's offense break out against Nevada? And who will lead that potential onslaught? Could Alex Padilla AND Joe Labas both see action? Could Iowa score more than one TD for the first time this season? How does Mr. Petras look in a red hat?

The questions, and the possibilities, seem endless. No doubt the Hawkeye brain trust will be scouring the Nevada game film to see exactly what offensive magic Incarnate Word used to score the unfathomable total of 55 points in ONE game.

I will be shocked if Iowa puts up 24 points against Nevada. Especially if Petras is QB.
