Um- kick their ***? Is that acceptable? I would love to laugh them out of the stadium as unlikely as that'll be. This series is set to be a nailbiter for years to come I'm sure.
 
I'd like to leave the game satisfied with the team, as a unit. I hope they win and give off the impression of "wow, that was a great game!" Not something like "that was a lucky break", or "they gave it to us on a silver platter at the end".
 
I want to win by a point on a ridiculously poor blown call by the refs going against the Hawks.
 
Defense, not even a question. This game will be low scoring. (<--- This is a prediction, not infallibility. Some posters don't know the difference.)
 
I don't know how any ISU fan that doesn't have their head stuck in the sand could have more confidence in the offense after the past decade. While I would wholeheartedly expect Iowa to drive down the field in record manner and score to win the game, I would have absolutely no doubt that we'd throw a pitch six if trailing and driving.

I'm a diehard ISU fanatic and hate sounding sour, but you also have to be realistic and look at recent history to set expectations for the future.
 
Interesting question considering our last two wins at kinnick came in (variations of) these two different ways. Give me the lead and our defense (this year).
 
I picked defense. But after thinking about it, I would rather have offense marching down the field no huddle, Sam throws a pick 6 but Ferentz calls time out before right before the snap. Next play Lazard TD!
