Iowa Prediction Thread

I just hope we call a good game. Keep the D honest. And I hope we contain the run because it’s coming

Huskers contain the run - get the W while I freeze my ass off.

Huskers 24
Iowa 13
Iowa has been very good at home this year (5-1).
They've beaten W. Illinois, Troy, Washington, Northwestern and Wisconsin. They lost to ISU.

NU is 1-3 on the road with a win v. Purdue, and losses to IND, OSU, and USC.

Should NU beat the Hawkeyes tomorrow, I think it bodes very well for NU going forward.
The biggest negative is in the last 5 games NU has given up 56/21/27/28/25 points.

Have to be quick to the line/snap and run lots of misdirection, screens and TEs in the Middle gaps.
Diagonal throws to TE's do well tomorrow.
Can beat them deep with a flea-licker from EJ to DR to Lloyd/Neyor.

It's all about taking care of the ball, stopping Iowa's running game and good ST play by NU.

I'm confident Dana can dial up enough points to win on the road.

NU wins

I'd love to see a victory over those fat and trashy butt f***ers and have some real positivity & momentum going into a decent bowl.

I think if the Huskers can contain Iowa’ s big running back (Johnson?) something my little brother’s Huskies did not do then the Huskers win 27-17 .
This is the key. He is their entire offense. Shut him down and we win easily. But I doubt we shut him down. Instead we will probably just slow him down. In which case the game is a toss up. And if we don’t shut him down and he gets big chunk plays against us then Iowa wins easily.

Last week I predicted 27-13 Wiscy.

This week:
24-12 Iowa

I also have a date with this girl named Uma. Hope she's good looking. 🤞

Iowa lacks the usual motivation it has for this game - they can’t ruin Nebraska’s season by winning. I’m unusually optimistic today - even took NU on the money line.

NU 20
Iowa 16

Side note on the money line. I got it last night on ESPN at +135. It’s at +130 on ESPN now, and +120 at Draft Kings. I didn’t bet enough to move the line :)

I am so damn nervous for this game. With last week's win I really, really want to keep our momentum going. Losing to Iowa again would suck. My head says we win a close one. But my heart is expecting us to get our nuts crushed. I am fully expecting our defense to go all limp wrist against their running attack. Please win today guys!!

3 main advantages that feed into every game: QB, head coach, and ability to stop the run.

QB: Nebraska
HC: Iowa
ability to stop the run: tie

The hope is that Rhule + Dana > Ferentz + Parker to nullify our coaching disadvantage.

17-13 Huskers.

DH shows how dysfunctional Sat was and what a real OC can do when given a chance. The defense comes to play as well and treats their walk on QB like a rag doll despite being held on every play with no flags.

it’s like the colorado game but for a full 60 minutes where DH doesn’t go soft and conservative. I want to see nothing but shots of depressed and crying Iowa fans in the fourth quarter. Nebraska wins 49-0.

Talked about it before the Defense has some real concerns - can they hold up the whole game? So the offense needs to stay on field extend drives and ST just be even.

100%. The defense looks leaky and it’s a major concern no matter who we play.

We have a remarkable penchant for making bad/mediocre mobile guys look incredible

Part of why I don’t get the desire to play Oklahoma in a bowl game, I think Jackson Arnold would have a career day
