Iowa vs Purdue- what do you want to see?

[ICWestfan]

A couple of turnovers by Purdue? 300 yds rushing? 50/50 split in yards and plays? A victory no matter how ugly (duh!)?

I want to see the defense step up, particularly by the line and LB's. Hold PU to around 250-300 yds total while maybe pitching a shut out.

Leave no doubt. 300+ years of rushing and 14 or less points given up. Ideally, get up by enough to give the starters a rest and let the reserves play most of the last quarter.

We're far and away the better team. Need to show it and show it early.

A sellout.

 

[ICWestfan]

A sellout.

That will be interesting given the forecast....

Iowa up big early and CJ sitting most of the second half not taking any hits.

a steady diet of Daniels, Canzeri, Wadley and Mitchell. Ground and pound all day long. I would be happy with 21-0 victory if it was due to our offense just consuming the clock for long periods of time and some rest for starters in 4th qtr. Would be neat for offense to start the 4th quarter with ball and we take out one senior at a time as we drive down the field. Tevaun, Krieger-Coble, Welsh, Cox, Canzeri and finally Blythe. Austin has been an anchor so let him finish the parade and then he can go looking for the Big Ten West trophy to carry off the field!!!

I am hoping to see a much better defensive performance. I am hoping to see total domination on both sides of the ball.

I'd like to see LeShun get 4 TDs to take a share of the Iowa single-game record with Akrum and Jordan. Along with that, most likely, would come a B1G POW award, also matching his compatriots.

He got three last week, so this seems plausible.

Domination up front, and a Defense/Special Teams score. I want to relax and enjoy the second half and see Weigers throw his first TD pass.

But would settle for an ugly win.

King with an INT...and of course the Hawks win.

King was in on 2 near INTs saturday. Caught the one out of bounds, and Mabin broke up his 9th interception in the first quarter and was called for PI...not one of his best plays, but Mabin will be alright.

I doubt the Golden Girl will be dancing naked, but then I wouldn't mind seeing that either....

Depending on if there's measurable snow on the ground... I want to see them not trip as they're walking out to hand us our Big 10 West Division Trophy

 

[Packer54]

This may be the fastest moving game of the year....I see a BUNCH of the running game and eating a ton of clock. I also want to see the defense force a NUMBER of 3 and outs. It is time to close the deal on the West in a big way.

Purdue will come to play. Hopefully the Iowa defense can shore things up a bit and not give up big plays. If Purdue has to work for their points, things should look good in the second half. I'd love to see Iowa keep playing with a lead, but I have a feeling this one will look a lot like the Maryland game.

 

[ichawk24]

Just win, baby.

That sums it up pretty well. I have nothing to add to this excellent post.
