Michigan Writers Take on Iowa

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.
He should, he's fine as a receiver but he has no shot of ever playing in the NFL.
Yes, really.
First road start in 'historic' kinnick stadium, against an 'elite' hok defense-- and Hunter walks out as the winning QB. I love it.
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 less
I to am an Petras fan, your to dumb too recognize there ability too grow QBs. Petras four Heisman!
I'll be thrilled if the D does its job, holds McCarthy to a pretty blah stat line, and allows only 10 points. Congrats on the W but the defense didn't lose Iowa that game. Lol.
He certainly did made them look elite but he did get the win we agree on that
If you don’t think Iowa is going to back into some ridiculous improbable win with a boat load of unforced Michigan errors, I don’t know what to tell you.
I think Williams is right that this game is either a blowout or an outright Iowa win.
I get the stat about top 5 teams coming into Kinnick, but while those past Iowa offenses weren't amazing, they also weren't literally the worst offense in the country.
Quite frankly, I'm at the point now that I kind of need Iowa to get their ass kicked as much as possible so there is some kind of real change this offseason. I mention that because I may be letting my desires cloud my judgment but I just don't see how this team competes with anyone even semi capable of playing both defense and offense.
I have not logical reason as to why Iowa will win this game, but Iowa will win this game.
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.

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.

Congrats, it was a nice W for you.
because the West sucks major donkey balls and Kirk can concentrate his time on the east and ISU.
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.
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.
