Badgers

[QChawks]

Coming to town 5-2 after a big win over USC

things change quickly

 

[Amahawk]

The Badgers look tough.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Good time to beat them then. It's pretty unusual for Iowa to have 2 bad games in a row. Especially when it's the worse I remember from a TO standpoint and everyone doing their best to F up the entire game

 

[BlIIlken2]

In true Iowa fashion we probably roll 38-13 or something like that. Because Iowa, that’s why. Get ready for what if season.

 

[BringBackBradBanks]

We were so, so lucky to beat Michigan. And could used a little bit of that luck today.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

I fear Iowa will fold like Washington did against us after their close loss to USC.

Wisconsin has a very easy schedule left and still has a chance to make it to the conference championship game.

Yep…time to right the ship in Kinnick next Sat.

I don't think that's how we play. I'm worried we will lose Diaz though.

 

[TheGreatDivider101]

If USC can only muster 3 points against the Badgers, how many points will the Hawks score with this offense?

Absolutely. Beat f* Wisconsin at home. Love it. Homecoming too.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

Dang, Lincoln Riley could never coach defense and now it appears his offense is suspect too.

No tears here though.

 

[2D]

Badgers beat the Hawks next week 17-9.

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

That’s going to be an ugly homecoming game. Badgers look like a complete team, as does NW and Neb. The return to BF/Deacon offense is something Iowa can’t overcome anymore. What could have been….

0

 

[AFM22]

40 probably

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Yes but this year its so ****** random you can't use the transitive property. Every previous game has no indication how the others will go

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

That sure was heady stuff the last two weeks thinking we had a capable offense.

Wisconsin is still gonna have to deal with Phil's crew though. I think it'll be close.

 

[Anon1751457816]

Iowa has one solid performance against a true D1 team. The rest have been ugly and lackluster. that's what iowa is this year

They are far from a complete team. They cannot throw the ball to save their lives. Which is why I expect a similar game to the one today.

 

[Fight4Iowa]

Wisconsin QB can run, and they look physical on both sides of the ball.

You fear a KF team will fold?

Good Lord there are some dumb posts after losses

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Yeah but see......f*** Wisconsin.

 

[Amahawk]

The Cyclone game was also pretty iffy.

 

[Rifler]

Wisconsin QB can run...

Good,.. He will need that talent.

 

[The Big Z]

Good thing he can run because he certainly can't pass.

 

[Hawk48]

The Badgers look tough.

agreed and well coached both sides of the ball. Iowa will have to play very well to win IMO.

don't think so this year unless Iowa gets 2/3 TOs IMO

Haven't had one of those "what if" seasons for a long time--not since last year, in fact, when one play in each of four games would have turned 8-4 into 12-0.

Luck? Sure, it's nice to have luck on your side, but all Iowa had to do to beat Minnesota is for one guy on defense NOT to line up in the neutral zone. Remove that incredibly ridiculous brain cramp, leave everything else exactly as it was, and Iowa wins 10-6. Losing is one thing. Beating yourself like THAT is, well, wow . . .

 

[DukeSlater]

If USC can only muster 3 points against the Badgers, how many points will the Hawks score with this offense?

It could be the first game in college football history in which one team scores minus points. So maybe Wisconsin 3, Iowa negative 7. Just a guess.

Last season was pretty what-if. Every loss we had the chance to win right there at the end.
