Iowa (6-4) at Maryland (4-6) Sat. 11:00 Hawks -6 of 2 PM Sunday

Maryland needs two wins to be bowl eligible.

They play PSU, so they’re not getting 2 wins. This will be their senior day and last chance at a victory this season. Given how Iowa has performed on the road as of late, I would say this game is a toss up, with slight edge to the Terps.

11:00 start…..excellent!

I hate to agree with you but I do, especially after seeing what happened to UCLA after our game with them etc. Been I die hard Hawk fan since back in the early 60's and have seen the good and bad. Really had high expecttations this season-its been tough.

Until Iowa shows anything on the road, this is unfortunately correct. Minnesota is the last time Iowa was respectable on the road, and that feels like eons ago and was ironically the game I said I am done with Kirk.

Considering the Iowa QB situation, the "Kirk vs. Brian" storyline will be a welcome distraction.

If they do this, they'll be trying way too hard. A guy whose job is to cue up film and buy lunches for the important assistant coaches is a complete non-factor in preparation and on game day.

I am sure Ferentz will give Maryland a dose of his game management and scheming wizardry.

Only "Two teams bad enough to lose to MSU bowl".

 

[desihawk]

how good is md defense against the run?
how good is md pass offense?
if they are good in only one of those categories tight game. if they are decent at both no need to make the trip.

Iowa gives me zero confidence on the road.

If Hawks do not win Saturday, it’s 6-6 and “who would have thunk it”?

Don’t forget his legendary time management skills. And BF on the other side will be filling in the Maryland team with all his inside info. He is the definition of analyst in every sense of the word.

You'll have to admit thats alot like what goes on here on this forum. Quite often people trying too hard to make something into a story thats not there..

I think Iowa was respectable at UCLA.

I think Iowa was respectable at UCLA.

And UCLA was playing much better as of late at home. The Washington loss was a road game where the Huskies haven't lost in almost three years. The Terps are neither of those teams...
