Right. But next week is a CFP boost/elimination game.

I think every game from now is an elimination game for Iowa. That loss to the Gophers eliminated any margin for error.

They lost by 28 at Purdue a few weeks ago and by 25 at home to Mississippi St. I'm thinking no. Iowa did everything they could to give that game away last week and it still took a walk off field goal to beat them.

The team that stops the run, wins. We need to stop Chiles mobility first and formost. He killed us two years ago in East Lansing. Tough duty playing them at night, in their new stadium after they lost at Oregon.

Go Hawks

Did not realize Chiles was at MSU prior to NW! You are correct he must be contained.

This one is for all the marbles for both teams. I have to admit, I'm not feeling great about this one.

Defense and special teams are,... It's a blueprint that we should be familiar with.

As posted earlier, this game is Iowa's biggest obstacle to 10-2. The Cats are a good football team and we are playing on their field.

r_desihawk · 2026-11-02T10:20:25-0600

matchup wise phil parker defenses have several times become befuddled by such offenses...can't entirely blame the defense coz can't shutdown every opponent. on a unrelated note, the importance of this game would likely be exactly the same even if we had beaten mn

RoseBowlorBust · 2026-11-02T10:23:58-0600

Chiles is our Ds kryptonite he is playing elite this season. The O needs to control TOP and put up touchdowns.

Playing another team in the conversation for a playoff spot with the same record on the road......

Going into the season you could have said the same thing about Williams at Washington. Solid arm and game changer with the ball when he runs. On the road, to the left coast no less. How'd that turn out?

HawksRule73 · 2026-11-02T10:31:30-0600

I feel pretty good about this game. We controlled Williams from Washington and I think he's an overall better player than Chiles. We controlled Colton Joseph as well, another dual threat guy. One was on the road, the other was at home. One was at night, the other during the day.

Now that the calendar has flipped to November, this is when Ferentz's teams typically play their best. I'm expecting a close one, but I think the Hawks pull it out.

I’m kind of surprised that Iowa is underdogs (per Vegas) even on the road at N’Western. I guess, it will take another convincing Hawkeye victory for nat’l media to jump back on board regard Iowa.

Iowa contained him in the pocket for the most part in 2024. He had 1 gain for 26 otherwise had 10 rushes for 25.

He did torch us for like 250 yards and a TD, though.

I think Iowa controls the TOP better since we have an average QB and aren't running Cade McNamara out there.

Don't see it, Iowa's Kryptonite is a QB that can sit in the pocket and deliver. I am far more worried about Wilde picking the secondary apart than I am scrambling of Chiles.

In what metric is Williams better than Chiles?

Palmerhawk · 2026-11-02T11:31:55-0600

NW has injuries in secondary...we need to outscore chip kelly and chiles.
Throw the ball early, then run.

The amount of cash Lane Kiffin offered in the off-season?

Chiles is playing good this year, no doubt. Certainly helps that he has Chip as his OC.

But if you didn't think coming into this year that Williams was the better QB, I don't know what to tell you....

So does this answer the question? Which metric this year are we discussing? I would also state that losing a WR like Boston last year, and Chiles having Wilde is a factor, but this does not answer who is the better QB this year. It is without a doubt Chiles.

WeBeHerkin · 2026-11-02T13:44:12-0600

The key is and we saw this last Saturday. Iowa MUST be the most physical team on the field.

Chiles has been tearing it up all season. I have watched 4 NW games

Totally agree with the sentiment but totally not KF's MO

As long as Chiles doesn't have a career day we should be fine.
