Iowa and Wisconsin are the front runners to win the West this year according to most predictions. I think this will be the most important game of the season for us.
Some have claimed they will be an offensive juggernaut this year. I honestly have my doubts. But it never ceases to bother me how often we lose to them.
Watching past replays, I'm astounded how stellar Wisconsin's offensive line is. It makes ours look like Swiss cheese in comparison. I think this has been the biggest factor in their wins against us.
But the most frustrating thing is that we always seem to have uncharacteristically egregious errors only during games against the Badgers, as if we're cursed. I feel as though Kirk is always out coached, everytime.
What can Iowa do to get over the Wisconsin hump? Will our upgraded OLine and QB be enough? Last year's win was a special teams and defensive effort, with little offense to be seen. But Wisconsin's offense has been particularly incompetent these past few years.
Iowa has only 3 wins in the past 10 meetings.
