The only thing that worries me about NE, as an Iowa fan, is that Tommy can improvise with his feet (incredible value in that). CJ can as well but he is really dinged and can't be expected to play superman running the ball every game.
Having said that Iowa should win the game. Better QB play IMO (TA makes too many bonehead mistakes throwing the ball), better running game (although NE appeared to figure something out against MSU), receivers are comparable, much better secondary for Iowa, push on run D.
Things that worry me; TA running the ball, NE coming off bye and Iowa with a short week. NE home crowd will now be in this game thanks to choking MSU.
Things that should worry NE; TA throwing the ball on Iowa's secondary, Iowa's run game now with home-run threats, CJ extending drives with his arm, Mike Riley abandoning the run game if Iowa stuffs it early.
Things I am thankful for: DPE being injured for this game (feel bad for the kid but in no way want to see him returning kicks/punts against Iowa).
