The 20 point spread seems like
- Thread starter Hawk68
- Start date
Why would Wadley get tired if we are 10 points ahead?.........
From the Illinois games ive seen, they're terrible at tackling. I think wadley goes nuts and hawks cover 30-7 type of game. Then again, we're us so I'm sure I'm wrong
Iowa wins in an exciting septuple overtime thriller 11-9.
Because BF will take the air out of the ball. Passing the ball does not seem to happen with a 10 point lead. Wadley might get 30 carries.
Ah alright, well you didn't clarify your statement so I was just curious......................
Iowa wins but BF breaks his other hand and a foot.
I hope we use Kelly Martin and Toren a lot!
Illinois is a horrendous football team. They are one of, if not the, worst teams in the P5 conferences.
The "logic" of the football betting public amazes me. Iowa getting 20 against any one is enough to make me shy away. If Iowa wins 28-10, Illinois cashes. 28 is a lot of points for Iowa.
No kidding, when I read Iowa was favored by 20 points, I assumed they thought we'd be pitching a shutout.
The weather WILL be bad, which makes it hard to pass, and Lovie has a defensive coaching background. He is going to run blitz every single down and dare us to throw it.
We could be in for a real battle, here.
Maybe we score on defense? That is the only way I see us covering the spread.

He said "score quickly". How many of those TD passes were plays longer than 40 yards? I think his point is that Wadley is a threat to score from anywhere on the field.
They are pretty bad and trending down by the week. Going with another QB; Lovie getting desperate. I could see Iowa winning 28-10 and not covering the spread though.
The forecasts I'm seeing are chilly with some wind, but no rain during game time. It's not that bad, really.
Everything I've seen (KCRG/weather channel) shows very good chance of rain into the afternoon. This is an 11 am kickoff.
We are definitely going to have to figure out a way to run the ball to win
Weather's variable and there is a good chance of wetness. Hourly forecasts are almost worthless, they just help clarify the timing of when things are expected. Just thought I'd share a more positive outlook I'd come accross.
This forecast has no rain in the 10-2'o clock hours.

But whatever it turns out to be, I think its impact on the game is overrated.
Assuming that it does rain: If they were starting Chase Crouch I would say it's overrated since he's mobile and can run but Jeff George Jr is a pocket passer so the rain would definitely be an advantage to us there
Iowa fan living in IC. Can't decide whether I'm gonna cheer for Nebraska tomorrow because if I think we can make a run I will but if not, no way I cheer for them. Probably won't cheer for Nebraska though, just because we still have OSU and Wisconsin on the schedule
Yeah, I'd probably throw like $10 on Nebraska, make it a win/win situation. Don't think I'd throw a car payment on them, though.
I hear ya. I wasn't suggestion what you should do, just giving an opinion on my rooting interest. Basically if we would've beaten MSU convincingly I'd cheer for Nebraska but now I'm cheering for Wisconsin
He would be a much larger threat, if we could pass well enough to keep only seven players in the box.
Sadly, Iowa's O-line has shown me nothing. Illinois will practice all week to beat Iowa, just like PSU and MSU did. I don't think they will walk into Kinnick awed.
