*****Iowa vs Mich St Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

6:30pm NBC
Iowa -6
O/U 39.5

I predict Iowa wins ugly tonight. Mich St offense isn’t great and their run defense hasn’t been strong either. Iowa just needs to not turn it over.

Give me 24-16 hawks

You better be right - but I think Iowa wins by 14 or more

Going to be a tough game against a motivated team.....At home, 3 losses in a row and hungry for a W, night game and homecoming. Let's hope we don't run into a Michigan State "perfect storm".

Iowa 20-10.

Go Hawkeyes!

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoff game, boys

I demand a victory..
That is all..

Sparty turnover prone and lots of penalties. OL is weak but game might be tight at half before we pull away.

Glad Iowa has excuse already. That's a good one early on, congrats!

Tens of millions of people think it's cool when an ugly, old, orange convicted felon who was too much of a sissy to play football uses the excuses strategy. Just sayin'.

I think it is hard to figure out how good MSU is given their schedule. They have been blown out by excellent teams but so did Iowa. Turnovers seems like the big factor here. Chiles has been a turnover machine. If he doesn't turn it over it could be rough. If he does Iowa should be in good shape.

Pain?

 

[Iron Doc]

Tossup.

 

[ButtersHawk]

My prediction is a game like @Minn.

Close at half, maybe we lead, maybe we don't. Either way we pull ahead in the 2nd half.

 

[BrewHawk]

This is going to be a tight one.

 

[DewHawk]

This is going to be a tight one.

I have watched a couple of MSU games and they are pretty good team IMO. Iowa will have to play well and win the T/O battle.

There was scuttlebutt of road alternate unis - any fire to that smoke?

Think so? I haven't watched them closely, but what I've seen they look sloppy and undisciplined.
I'm hardly one to be overly optimistic when it comes to Iowa football. In this case, though, I think it would take Iowa having an off game on both sides of the ball to make this close.
