While I think OSU is good, they are not "elite" like in past years. They got beat by OU in Columbus. They struggled with IU early on. If Iowa can shut down their run game, and force their QB into becoming a thrower, then it favors Iowa. He is a short game passer, force him to throw over the top and it become average. But the whole key is shutting down the run game.
The OSU vs PSU game will be interesting. It will be hard for OSU to be "up" back to back weeks. I think the schedule favors the hawks in that regard. Hoping for a 4 quarter fist fight between OSU & PSU.
