Maryland needs two wins to be bowl eligible.
Iowa (6-4) @ Maryland (4-6) Sat. 11:00 Hawks -5 and o/u 40.5 as of 10:30 Sat.

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.
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.
It's November, can't watch the corn grow anymore, so they gotta write about somthin' 🙃
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".
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.
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...
The first sentence is spot on. Hope you're just being sarcastic with the second sentence, because otherwise you would just be a hater. There's no way you could know what his job is. A televised game early in the season showed him working with the OL on the sidelines. I don't care enough about Maryland football to try to learn whether that is a typical game-day assignment.
I see we have another troll that needs to be disposed of........
It would really nice if someone moderated this forum and took care of the trolls......
It would really nice if someone moderated this forum and took care of the trolls......Very similar situation to UCLA, had not been playing well-long travel distance and so on. Many including me thought the Hawks would beat UCLA. Now with Marylands Sr. day and still fighting for a Bowl this could be really tough.
Sorry. That's a YOU problem. You are entitled to your feelings. We seem capable of losing at home too. I think we win out.
I’ll be there. Got a family member that lives two miles from the stadium. Always a privilege to see an Iowa game live.
Agreed. Hopefully things go well. If not we dont have to wait untill late Saturday to find out. Go Hawks!
And the game the hawks lost they were in control on the road and lost in a close one, 2014 iirc as Rudock was very good early and then swooned.
I think that’s indicative of how bad Iowa has been at quarterback this season. It doesn’t really matter who starts at quarterback. I have more confidence in Stratton than Cade.
Defensively we’re beyond horrible. Tackled like little school girls. Embarrassing
Aught to cancel the game it's meaningless. We're horrible, Marylands horrible. All games not associated with the playoff should be cancelled and so should all the meaningless bowl games. Big waste of everybodies time. Start buying players as soon as possible.
Unfortunately most Hawk fans would agree. One NIL contract that failed big time.
I personally think it would be funny if maryland hung half a hundred on iowa and BF drops the mic on the field. but that's probably not happening. is higgins back?
I was thinking this as well. watching part of the game in houston. at a sports bar. then I did not see second half.
I don't know how Maryland's offense is going to do Saturday, but no matter their performance, Biff will have very little to nothing to do with it.
