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
Yup the stats say if Chiles has time he will kill us. NU has bad run and pass D but we seem to struggle with teams like that offensively at times🤦🏻‍♂️

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
Nah. If Iowa had beaten the Gophers a loss at NW wouldn't have knocked Iowa 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.
Since home field usually nets the home team an automatic 3 points, Iowa getting 2 1/2 means we're favored by a half point........from a certain point of view. 😏😀

I think every game from now is an elimination game for Iowa. That loss to the Gophers eliminated any margin for error.
Oh, to have that one back. Oh, not to have an Iowa guy line up in the neutral zone . . . an incredible mistake that, I hope, won't be the difference between Iowa IN the CFP or OUT. Oh, my.

Sure, because Iowa lost, on the road, by three points to Minnesota on a last second FG while Indiana, at home, only needed a 60-yard FG and OT to beat them.

Still a lot of 2.5 out there. And even 3.5 at a couple books.

So although it's getting late in the week for it, there's still a chance this movement is just steam.

Watch and see if if jumps to at least 3 across all books today.

If so, and then later in the week it drops back under 3 across all books, it was likely a steam job for sharps to get Iowa at 3 and 3.5

Buffington is particularly good at countering qb runs. He can really run.

their rush defense is ranked in the 80s and gives up 153 ypg.
They play very conservative on defense. We need to avoid mistakes, move the chains, and consistently win the field position game. If we do that, they'll have a hard time beating us. Absolutely cannot have many 3 and outs.
