_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tyler Goodman finishes with a career high rush total, Iowa's offense showed signs of progress, and the Hawkeye defense smothered another opponent - just what you might expect in a home game for a Top5 rated team aganst a mid-level opponent. What did we learn? Official in the review booth was stoned, that's about it.

Top score this week (9-1) is shared by last week's winner hwk23 and Machawk2489. A large group at 8-2 narrowly missed the tie-breaker round.

Congratulations to Machawk2489 who's slightly more optimistic prediction for Iowa's offense total offense (TB=418) denied hwk23 back-to-back wins.

Last Meeting: Iowa 39, Kent State 7 (2004)

Did you know that Nick Saban graduated from Kent State University? Saban played DB for the Golden Flashes from 1969 to 1973 and, as the story goes, he in his roommate decided to stop for lunch before heading to a campus rally on that fateful day in early May, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on the students gathered there. Seems like ages ago now but Saban went on to earn a masters degree in sports management from Kent State and the rest, as they say, is history.

Saban's alma mater is a heavy underdog to #5 Iowa at Kinncik this weekend. Iowa fans want to know: will the Hawkeye offense now shift into a higher gear following back-to-back dominating defensive efforts to start the season? Nachos and cold Caronas on tap Saturday. Lets get it on.................

@nu2u Point of clarification: For #6, I'm assuming your referring to each team's respective season total TOM, not just the TOM within Saturday's game alone, correct?

Last Meeting: Iowa 39, Kent State 7 (2004)

Did you know that Nick Saban graduated from Kent State University? Saban played DB for the Golden Flashes from 1969 to 1973 and, as the story goes, he in his roommate decided to stop for lunch before heading to a campus rally on that fateful day in early May, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on the students gathered there. Seems like ages ago now but Saban went on to earn a masters degree in sports management from Kent State and the rest, as they say, is history.

Saban's alma mater is a heavy underdog to #5 Iowa at Kinncik this weekend. Iowa fans want to know: will the Hawkeye offense now shift into a higher gear following back-to-back dominating defensive efforts to start the season? Nachos and cold Caronas on tap Saturday. Lets get it on.................

Looks like they are missing the fumble recovered vs Texas A&M

    (4:25 - 4th) Josh Smith (KENT) punt for 57 yds , Ainias Smith (TAM) returns for a loss of 3 yards to the TexAM 6 Ainias Smith (TAM) fumbled, recovered by KntSt

Could be, or maybe the play summary you posted was later corrected.

Just to be clear, for the purposes of this contest the stat published by the NCAA (Kent State +6) will be used to score the results. Hopefully the Hawks will play error free and force 4 TOs on Saturday so it won't make any difference

Did you know that Nick Saban graduated from Kent State University? Saban played DB for the Golden Flashes from 1969 to 1973 and, as the story goes, he in his roommate decided to stop for lunch before heading to a campus rally on that fateful day in early May, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on the students gathered there. Seems like ages ago now but Saban went on to earn a masters degree in sports management from Kent State and the rest, as they say, is history.

Saban's alma mater is a heavy underdog to #5 Iowa at Kinncik this weekend. Iowa fans want to know: will the Hawkeye offense now shift into a higher gear following back-to-back dominating defensive efforts to start the season? Nachos and cold Caronas on tap Saturday. Lets get it on.................

Game #3: Iowa vs. Kent State

1. Iowa's first TD in each of its first two games this season was scored by RB Tyler Goodson. This week, Iowa's first TD will be scored by a Hawkeye WR or TE.

2. Iowa's offense has converted only 8 of 27 (29.6%) on 3rd down this season which ranks 112th best out of 130 FBS teams. Opponents of Kent State have converted 50% on 3rd down (14/28) thru 2 games. Will Iowa convert more than 40% of their 3rd down opportunities this Saturday?

3. Iowa QB Spencer Petras is 8-2 as a starter but has completed just 50% of his passes so far in 2021, the worst completion percentage of any starting B10 QB. In 4 of the last 6 games of 2020, Petras' completion rate was at least 60%. Will Petras rebound this week to complete at least 60% of his passes vs. Kent State?

4. None of Iowa's 24 pass receptions have resulted in a gain of 40 or more yards, the longest gain being 24 yards. Will one or more Hawkeye reception this Saturday result in a gain of more than 40 yards?

Kent State has amassed 720 yards rushing in its first two games this year (NCAA 2nd, including 226 rush yards at No. 6 Texas A&M) while both Indiana and ISU failed to reach 100 yards on the ground against this stout Hawkeye defense. Will the Golden Flashes rush for more than 160 yards against No. 5 Iowa?

6. Both teams are Top 5 in the nation in turnover margin (TOM). Kent State starts this contest +6 TOM and Iowa enters at +5 TOM. Will Iowa have have a better overall TOM at the conclusion of this game?
