I'm gonna buck the trend here. Petras has his best game as a hawk, crossing routes galore in this one. 3 TD's for Spenser and the Hawks win 38-13.
Iowa @ Illinois predictions
- Thread starter hknation
- Start date
There's no doubt the Illini are better with Brandon Peters than they were without him, and I expect the Illini to put a few points on the board. However, Peters doesn't help the Illini defense, which isn't very good whether he plays or not. I expect Petras will have his best game of the season, although he may not have to throw very much since I expect the Hawks to take control with their rushing attack. But 12-15 for 180 yrds and no int's would still be an 80% completion rate, and 12 YPA.
Iowa 34
Illini 17
Iowa 34

It wouldn't take that much for it to be his best game.
Their defense is stout enough to make life a bit difficult for our offense. But, we’ll get lots of opportunities because I can’t see them doing much against our defense.
26-10 Iowa
Duncan gets lots of work again.

24-14 Hawks
Spencer under 200 passing yards but run game capitalizes on good field position provided by the defense..
..I know - REALLY going out on a limb with my prediction.
Sargent 1 TD
Goodson 1 TD
Defense 1 TD
Duncan 1 FG

Their defense is all about big hits and whiffs from what I've seen the last couple years
It’s like this thread has blocked last year’s game at Kinnick from memory. Our squads played a very good, defensive game that came down to the final minutes.
You expect illanoy to hold us to our lowest score this year?
I'd take that bet all day....
Did you block out the wiscy and Minny games?
I mean, for Minnesota we were a bit short handed (thanks, Wisconsin), and UW 1) is good and 2) was out for revenge after last year. I don’t expect Illinois to beat Iowa, and we could get blown out. However, Illinois played Iowa tough on the road last year, and they’ve played well in their last two games. You treating them like they’re a mid-major opponent isn’t backed up, and I’m guessing you just dislike Illinois. Lol.
FWIW, my current prediction is Iowa wins 28-17. I’d love to be wrong, though.
He was at 60% against Nebraska and Smith dropped a couple balls he should have had. Yes, Beyer made a catch maybe he should not have. So he needs 2 or 3 more completions to get to 65% or so which is alright.
I don't believe we have a Hartlieb brother on the bench waiting to come in.
Zach Wilson at 74% completion and is the #1 PFF QB for deep balls. OUch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would be undefeated right now.

Turnovers and BFz getting another bout of play-calling brain farts. Illinois is #89 in rushing defense, we should be able to run over them. But that's what we thought about Nebraska (98th in rush defense) and they held us to 129 on the ground.
This is no gimme, teams needs to play well.

If you had as much money as Kirk and Lovie, would you want to put in that many hours when you are in your 60s?
We are just two years from 63-0. So I'm going with 41-17 Hawks. Petras with 3 TD passes and the defense with 3 turnovers. Go Hawks!!!!
