Ohio State opened as 23 pt favorite vs IOWA. Right Before Kickoff: tOSU -17; O/U 45.5 (82% !!! of the bets on the OVER)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
You know it will happen.
I do get a kick out of “I watched Ohio State, and their (fill in the blank) is really good.”
Yeah, no fvcking shit. Let me give you the Ohio State scouting report for the year 2045.
Okay, here it goes. All their players are better than nearly everybody else in the nation. It has been that way every year since 1950.
Yep, and guess who is responsible for 14% of those losses…you guessed it. Purdue.
Chip Kelly was Ryan Days OC when he played QB at New Hampshire. He hired Day as QB coach for thr 49ers. There is a long history there.
It was reported he reached out too many programs about many positions. Including BC about being HC. Even if Iowa wanted him he wasn't going there over tOSU and Day.

Good analysis.
We simply won’t compete with higher-quality teams such as OSU having a one-dimensional offense. Not gonna happen.
Could be, everyone has
a down game and solid teams like Iowa might over perform. Who knows?
IO do agree, but there's always that chance. I've sen some crazy upsets over years, but I agree overall that OSU should win big.
Ferentz is delusional and way, way too comfortable at Iowa IMO.
at least Beth has made things a bit more uncomfortable (when she fired his son)
I think after last year progress will look like scoring points against top tier teams.
0-92 in 2023
The best chance is giving KJ 20+ carries and hoping he breaks a few big runs
If he can’t get those 30-50 yard runs this offense stands no chance. OSU will dare Iowa to throw the ball further than 8 yards and we haven’t seen it since the first week
Interesting way of saying "one".
They lost to Michigan 3 times and Iowa, Purdue, Penn St, Mich St once each.
Fact of the matter is is he’s stuck in the past.
Deflect, deflect, deflect is Kirk’s ‘game’
OSU is now favored by 20. The O/U remains at 44.5.
ESPN says Iowa has a 10.4% chance.

That's because Urban Meyer was the coach. Day doesn't like to run his QBs, even when he had Justin Fields. But now Chip Kelly is calling plays and he doesn't mind running the QB.
Woodshed game was the win, not one of many losses by quite a bit.
Well he has not run him much in their first 4 games.
About 1 in 10 is what Ara Parseghian said we had for a chance to win when he came to town for the Iowa V Michigan game in 1985 to broadcast it with Musberger. I remember Fry mentioning that post game kind of sarcastically. Something to the effect of welp I guess that was our one win out of 10.OSU is now favored by 20. The O/U remains at 44.5.

Of all the things that worries me about OSU, I’d have to go pretty down the list before I get to “Will Howard’s legs”.

I can’t help but think this plays out much like the 2022 game; Iowa defense hangs tough but wears out after spending most of the game on the field. OSU will focus on stopping KJ, and Cade will fail to make them pay for it.
The key concept is FOSSILIZATION.
Hawks now -18.5 as of Thursday afternoon with the O/U still at 44.5.
Looks like money is being put on Hawks.

31-13 seems like a pretty reasonable score. It would really be something though if KJ went for 1 fiddy+ and ripped off a couple of long ones to cover.
i think you are right.
i can picture a 24-13 type game with tOSU getting a late score
Hope our punter eats his Wheaties and a Snickers bar. He is gonna be critical.
And the only B1G team Day has lost to is Michigan. If Iowa wins it will be remarkable.
And Iowa. But we didn't just upset the #6 team , we provided the unexpected beat down of the buckeyes.
You really see Iowa holding OSU under 30 ? I know the defense played lights out against Michigan last year but Harbaugh likes to play Kirk ball, he can just do it better than Kirk
When Iowa plays teams that are more dynamic on offense we see the PSU/OSU/TN type beat downs.
I think only way Iowa has a chance is to hold OSU <14 points. Iowa getting 17 would mean KJ running for 200+
Iowa’s not winning, but if Iowa could hold onto the ball for more than 1-3 plays a drive, (other than Tennessee) those are competitive games.
Iowa seems to have an offense that can at least get some first downs and not end up having our offense making tackles every third drive. Worse teams than Iowa hang with OSU. We just have PTSD from Brian ball.
Now, watch it be 42-3 at halftime.
Remember, Iowa State defeated Kansas State and Will Howard in the “Snow Game” last fall. He’s a very good and versatile QB. His best quality is probably that he is very experienced. It’s actually rare for tOSU to trot out a QB with as much starting time as Howard. Usually they are gone to the NFL at this stage. And I predict Howard will spend time in the league as a backup.
Like others have said, he’s not a flashy runner, but he can get yardage when needed. With all the weapons at his disposal, he doesn’t need to do a lot.
While the offense has certainly improved under Lester, it still suffers from previous recruiting and development mistakes, as is obvious from the lack of any semblance of a passing game. That doesn't get corrected without upgrades in personnel and a few years of coaching. So yeah, the Brian ball scars remain.
Produce a birth certificate on that game, or it never happened.
I remember Purdue killed Ohio State in 2018.
