Who will be the starter? Is there any chance we play more than one qb?

I have to think Iowa will load the box and dare NU to throw.

And, I am sure they will blitz every play possible.

Chip Kelly is definitely going to earn his paycheck on Saturday.

We are about to either lose big like Wis or see first hand what offense genius coaching truly is. If we somehow win this game chip is a winner of top assistant coach in ncaa

Unfortunately a beat down. Hope I'm wrong.

Defense can certainly step up given our "returnees", but it's down to football 101 on the other side -- is offense so bad that they turn the ball over and leave D with short field or they just can't do anything so that D is on the field all day and wears down?

I just wish he’d seen more experience, like he could’ve had the whole 4th quarter of PSU and Ball State and Rutgers.
He's not a freshman. He has plenty of experience. Playing at home helps. I'm much more wary of the fact that Chiles has kept so many plays alive with his speed, and we don't have that here.

I know that but he hasn’t played meaningful game snaps with our offense with all the motion/formation changes, throwing to our WRs, etc.
