I watched the first half of Iowa vs. Rutgers. Didn't change my opinion much, maybe made me a little bit more optimistic. Stanley about the same ... makes some amazing throws, then misses a WR on what should be an easy throw. Some of the TD's by Iowa were wide-open receivers where I assume Rutgers just totally blew the coverage. Their defense got some pressure on Rutgers, but Rutgers looked like they were just plain lost on offense.
I don't think we can take a lot away from Iowa's first two games. I think Iowa will be predictable and do the same things they always do, and score somewhere in the 17-24 range. If we can score more than 24, I think we win this game. The main question will be if CMC opens up the playbook or tries to play smash-mouth only. If we try to win by running up the middle the whole time, we lose.
With that said, I am afraid that's exactly what happens, and the final score will be something like 20-14 in favor of the Team out East.
