Well, it's that time again when we all focus our hate and derision on that school out west which will not be named. We all know this game is their annual Super Bowl, but for Iowa it's just another week to get better and more preparation for the Big Ten battles that lie ahead. Iowa's offense showed some signs of life last week, but is it fool's gold or the real deal? That other school's defense has already been touched by the injury bug in a serious way, but will they rise to the occasion and keep the game close so they can try to steal away another win on the road in this rivalry? It remains to be seen, so let's get to the questions for this week's game:
1. Iowa's defense is showing their typical stoutness and all Hawk fans are hoping that it remains a hallmark of the Iowa program. Will Iowa hold that central Iowa agricultural school to 14 points or less this week?
2. The Iowa running game last week against the real ISU managed 241 total yards on the ground, will Iowa manage to run for 200 or more yards this week against Moo U?
3. Ball security will likely be a key to winning this game and Iowa managed to win the TO margin last week at +3. Will Iowa end the game with at least a +1 TO margin this week?
4. Iowa hangs its hat on their defense and special teams play year in and year out. Will the Iowa defense or special teams manage to score a TD this week?
5. The performance of each team's respective QB will probably go along ways towards their team's success on the field this week. Will Iowa end the game with a higher pass completion % overall than the Clowns?
6. UND dominated the time of possession in their matchup against this week's opponent, playing keep away for nearly 38 minutes. Will Iowa possess the ball at least 35 minutes this week?
7. The Iowa defense managed to collect 4 sacks last week in their opener, will the trend continue and Iowa collects 3 or more sacks this week?
8. Iowa WRs surprised us all last week with 3 TD catches, equaling the WR output for the entire 2023 season. Will an Iowa WR catch and score a TD through the air this week?
9. Iowa punted the ball away 5 times last week and our opponent punted 4 times against UND. Will this game see 10 or more total punts when the final gun is heard?
10. At the moment the O/U for total points scored in this contest is set at 35.5 points. Will the over come in with total points scored of 36 or more?
Tiebreaker: Total receiving yards for Reece Vander Zee this week:
Take my advice and let the hate flow through you, it's a great feeling. And, as always, Go Hawks!
WEEK #2 RESULTS:
25 ENTRIES THIS WEEK, AVERAGE SCORE WAS 4.28; A VERY ROUGH WEEK INDEED.
THIS WEEK'S WINNER WITH A SCORE OF 8 CORRECT ANSWERS IS @desihawk I GUESS HIS GOAL OF FINISHING DEAD LAST IS IN JEOPARDY NOW. I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO BE THE SOLE RUNNER-UP WITH A SCORE OF 7, BUT I'D GLADLY GIVE IT UP FOR A HAWK WIN LAST SATURDAY.
