Mizzou is a very solid team and the talent disparity will be glaring, but thankfully not as obvious as it would have been against Alabama or Ole Miss. Last year’s bowl vs. Tennessee was boys against men.
Missouri vs. Iowa in Nashville

Did you watch last years bowl game?
So, we draw Missouri. And the haters here cry about it being so weak and so boring a game. Yet, had Iowa been paired with a marquee program, the same haters would rail against Iowa's pending bowl disaster. Honestly, what is it that you guys want? When I read this forum, I'm disgusted most of the time. And the only peace I have is knowing that you hating shitbags are perpetually pissed off. Feck you. 100%
Just because Iowa is playing an SEC team in a bowl game and got blown out by an SEC team in their last bowl game is no reason at all to expect another blowout.
Iowa has only been blown out once, at OSU, since the Tennessee game, and were 20 points dogs at the shoe.
The Tennessee game had an early line around 9. This is a 2.5 point line. It's not like the Tennessee game, for many reasons. One being, Deacon Hill is not at QB.
Vegas is aware of Iowa's RB and QB situation and they expect a close game.
And I wouldn't say that Mizzou is clearly the 2nd best team Iowa has played.
Gonzo, you know all that without knowing anything about Mizzou's D? That's pretty impressive.
I have a major issue with your categorization of which teams have a pulse or not. But that's another story. You've made it clear that you believe it's only the teams that have blown Iowa out. So we'll work from that.
OSU- 20 point underdog
Tennessee- early line got as high as 9
Michigan- 21 pt dog
PSU- 14 pt dog
OSU- 30 pt dog
Michigan- 9.5 pt dog in a 14-27 loss that some might consider a blowout, as Iowa backdoored some points in that game
Michigan- 11 pt dogs in the '21 championship game, although it doesn't make sense to analyze data from this game at all, as Michigan was playing with an illegal competitive advantage.
Blowouts in those games were a realistic expectation. Getting blown out as a 2.5 pt dog is not at all a probable expectation.
It's very hard to understand why people expect Iowa to get blown out. It's also hard to understand how that would be any different than losing in OT
Tell me what the -2.5 means and why it is there right now.
Get back to me as that negative number moves further in Mizzou's favor as we get closer to the game.
In the past 22 years USC at least 2x, LSU 2x, Florida 2x, Tennessee 2x, Missouri 2x (now 3), Kentucky 2x(back to back years)
Mizzou is a top 25 team. So I’d say yes they’re the 2nd best team on our schedule. We’re going to have to play our best game we’ve played all year to win.
There are 26 years of data under KF.
Iowa played most of last season with the worst QB I've seen take significant snaps in 40 years of closely following the Hawks.
The previous season Iowa played with the worst O-line I've seen in 40 years of closely following the Hawks.
Guess which 2 out of the 26 years fans want to act like is the norm for the Hawks. You literally can't make this shit up. 100% can only be the creation of football fan.
All the cute little fan narratives are completely secondary in those two years.
Very little about a program should even be considered in a year when a team is playing with an awful emergency QB or an awful emergency O-line. Then consider that KF is of very little blame in both of those situations. And really, the only thing of note from those two seasons is the fact that Iowa kept winning
You cant change 2 years of worst P 5 O and a qb that doesnt belong at any level. You cant make that up. Put an * on your post.
And Oh Ya, before that the worst P 5 punter.
Not really sure what you're trying to say.
2.5 in no way suggests a blowout. Nor will the closing line.
The point remains that it's laughable for so many to expect Iowa to get blown out
Sure you can change it. Iowa no longer has the worst offense. No reason for fans to act like they do.
And again, no reason for fans to have thought it was the norm in the first place.
It's called an emergency QB. None of them are very good. Give KF credit for having had the foresight to have brought another body into the QB room.
Worst punter??????
The kid related to a big donor. And he wouldnt have without Beth.
The O was still a joke save johnson running off guard being superman thru 5 defenders.
Missouri is a top 25 team.
Can Iowa beat a top 25 team?
Can Iowa beat a top 25 team?
Iowa hasn't beaten a top-25 team since 2021. What's not serious about that question? Lol.
In Iowa's last 18 quarters played vs. top-25 teams we've been outscored 155-7.
Is Mizzou ranked?
Lol, he asked if Iowa can beat a ranked team.
Iowa hasn't beaten a ranked team since 2021.
You refuse to answer, say it's a joke to even ask, and go to bed.
Lolololol.

You definitely can use wheel routes Vs zone ha. Post wheel concept is a pain Vs both Cover 3 and Quarters. This is coming from someone who’s coached 4-2-5 (ton of quarters) and 3-5-3 (ton of cover 3) along with current OC role. (Not the high school in my profile)
in all fairness half the naysayers are closet isu and nebraska fans.
Never argue with idiots. The drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Would disagree. I think playing Mizzou is a great draw for us, an opportunity to finish the season with a win over a ranked team. That would be a great experience and a good springboard into 2025. We have a lot of talented young players and a win would be a great confidence boost for them.

I'm asking you to explain what a betting line is, why it exists, and how it has anything to do with Iowa getting blown out or not.
That was last year. This year's team was better on offense when healthy.
Get players healthy before the bowl game and Iowa has a good chance of winning. IMO
Kaleb isn’t playing so we need Sully healthy. We also had a much better defense
Yeah. I was just giving him a hard time about a thread he was having trouble following a couple months ago regarding the traditional wheel route that ISU ran vs Iowa's man coverage at the end of that game
Both Patterson and Moulton had long TD runs.
So….2 times in 22 years. Like I said….doesn’t qualify as “often”. Occasional maybe.
