Sorry that I'm late with this, it's been a week.
Ok Hawkeye fans, once again our boys are facing the seemingly impossible task of defeating the Ohio State University. We never utter the name of that institution in our family home, we refer to them only as the Death Star. We’re Star Wars fans, what can I say? Is it really impossible then knowing that Luke was able to fire two proton torpedoes into that thermal exhaust port? Do the Hawkeyes have a similar strategy up their sleeve? Let’s GO!
1. Both teams enter with especially stingy run defenses both allowing around 62 yards for game. Will the Iowa defense yield less rushing yards in this game than the Buckeyes?
2. OSU only gives up 196.5 total yards per game. Will Iowa’s total offensive production this week be at least 250 yards?
3. Iowa boasts a turnover margin of 1.25 per game, tOSU TO margin is at 0.75. Will Iowa win the turnover battle against the Bucks?
4. Kaleb Johnson comes in averaging over 170 yards rushing per game, but this week may be tough sledding for the Iowa running game. Will KJ get to at least 100 yards rushing this week?
5. Iowa leads the country with the fewest penalty yards per game of 23.75. The Buckeyes have been penalized 49.25 yards per game. Will tOSU have at least twice as many penalty yards this week than the Hawks?
6. tOSU averages about 535 yards per game. Will Iowa hold them under 450 yards this week?
7. The over/under for total points in this contest is currently 45.5 points. Will the total points be under this week?
8. tOSU averages nearly 308 yards passing while Iowa averages about 148 yards. Will Iowa manage to pass for at least half the total yards of passing for tOSU?
9. tOSU has averaged 3.5 sacks per game, Iowa 2.5. Will Iowa have more sacks this game?
10. tOSU moves the chains on 3rd down at a 49% clip, Iowa does at a 45% clip. Can Iowa manage to be more efficient on 3rd downs in this game?
Tiebreaker: What will be Iowa's total time of possession this game (MM:SS)?
Good luck everyone, and as always, Go Hawks!
