The Hawkeyes travel east this weekend where Kirk Ferentz will again face a different Hoosier football coach, the 6th since Ferentz was hired - the hyperkinetic Tom Allen. Tom Creen with a headset. In honor of Coach Allen, I will be munching on nachos topped with red hot chile peppers at game time. Indiana and OSU combined for more than 1000 yards of offense last week, what's in store for Indiana-Iowa? Let's get it on...……………

Game 6: Iowa vs. Indiana
1. Iowa exploded for 28 first half points in their first road contest at Minnesota. Will the Hawkeyes score at least 20 points by Halftime at Bloomington this week?
2. Indiana QB Peyton Ramsey has averaged 45 pass attempts in B10 play so far this season (46,40,49 vs. MSU, Rutgers, OSU, respectively). Will Ramsey finish with more that 45 pass attempts against Iowa in Memorial Stadium?
3. Iowa DE AJ Epenesa is tied for the B10 lead in QB sacks (5) but has not recorded a sack since the UNI game on 9/15. Will Epenesa add to his total and record a QB sack this Saturday?
4. Indiana's offense averages 23.7 1st downs per game. Iowa's defense allows just 15.8 1st downs per game. Will Indiana produce 21 or more 1st downs against this Hawkeye defense?
5. Indiana native Iowa CB Julius Brents recorded an INT in his first start against the Gophers last week. Will Brents nab at least one INT or one fumble recovery on Hoosier homecoming day?
6. Indiana is 9th in the B10 conference in rushing offense (167.5 ypg) while Iowa is currently 10th in B10 rushing (155 ypg). Will Indiana finish this game with more total rush yards than Iowa ?
7. Will Iowa's defense force 6 or more Indiana punts in this contest?
8. Iowa RB Toren Young leads the team in total rushes (54) but has fewer than 10 carries in the last two games. Will Young finish with 10 or more rushes against the Hoosiers?
9. Iowa's offense produced its first 50+ gain from the line scrimmage at Minnesota last week (Smith-Marsette 60 yard TD reception). Will the Hawk offense repeat the feat and produce at least one play from scrimmage resulting in a gain of 50 or more yards?
10. Will both teams combine to score 54 or more total points in this contest?
