You'd be thrillled if McCarthy walks off as the winning QB?.....I'll be thrilled if Iowa holds McCarthy to <190 yards, 2 ints, and only 1 TD late in the 4th.

McCarthy is not going up against the '85 Bears. Dekkers did OK at kinnick in his first career road start.
I wonder if Brecht just quits soon and focuses on baseball..
Yes, really.really? 25/38 for 184 yards 1 td and 2 picks is what you call ok?
Only when compared to a Petras statline would that game be considered ok.
Petras and the wr's even connecting on that aside when we've tried to throw down field particularly on play action we haven't blocked well enough to give then any time. We're susceptible to a strip sack would be my worry. I agree though a different approach is needed. When we played Nevada we ran this formation called shotgun on 1st and 10 which was kind of refreshing. I think more of that would be nice even if you run out of it and zone block lessThey aren’t going to be good on offense. They are probably going to go three and out a lot. The one thing Petras can do is throw a bomb. Not with touch or accuracy, but what the hell. You connect on 2 out of 12 deep balls or get a PI and they might actually score.
Their approach just makes no sense. Voluntarily play offense the way you are trying to force the opponent to play because it is hard.
I to am an Petras fan, your to dumb too recognize there ability too grow QBs. Petras four Heisman!You'd be thrillled if McCarthy walks off as the winning QB?
He certainly did made them look elite but he did get the win we agree on thatYes, really.
First road start in 'historic' kinnick stadium, against an 'elite' hok defense-- and Hunter walks out as the winning QB. I love it.
I'll have what he's havingJust watch Iowa win.
Just watch Iowa win.
When it counted, the vaunted hok defense gave up a 99 yard drive, with 5 third down conversions. To a kid in his second career start. Now that's thriling. LOL...... Congrats on the W but the defense didn't lose Iowa that game. Lol.

because the West sucks major donkey balls and Kirk can concentrate his time on the east and ISU.I have not logical reason as to why Iowa will win this game, but Iowa will win this game.

Short of some cosmic defensive implosion on Michigan's part, ain't happening. This is the most limp excuse for an offense I've ever seen fielded by the Iowa program. And that's a status it's achieved against defenses that are nowhere near as good as Michigan's. I totally get that, most years, this is the type of game that an underwhelming Iowa team comes in and just blows the doors off the place in a W against a top-5 team, before moving on to the following week and reverting back to its pathetic self. But with this QB and this offense, there's just no way.
Difference in that game and Big Ten championship was the run defense. They got nothing in that game whereas championship game they were able to hit some runs then that opened up rest of their offense. Stopping the run is the key.I see it more like the 2016 (?) game. A so-so Iowa team, a highly rated but really untested Michigan team, and Harbaugh gets weird.
