Hawkeyes @ Minnesota 9/28

Floyd Week

It's finally B1G season.  Not that the other games don't matter, but they definitely don't matter as much.  Not that all of the teams in conference play are good, but at least we can get a feel how good they are within a game or two.  I think this game is going to expose Minnesota's 4-0 record for what it really is, overrated.

After a light week, we are going to see a heavy dose of Mark Weisman. When it's over he is going to have 30 carries for 170 yards and 2 TD's. We are going to see some work from Bullock too but a surprisingly light week from Canzeri and Daniels.  The Hawkeyes will total 225 yards on the ground.

For the passing game B1G, meet Damond Powell.  We are going to see two long completions for Powell that will show the speed Iowa has in the JUCO receiver. We will also see Rudock spread the ball to a lot of different receivers as distributes the ball to the WR's and TE's.  When all is said and done he will have just shy of 300 yards passing with 2 TD's and another on the ground.

The defense will start strong to get Iowa to halftime with a nice lead. The only problem with that is it tends to lead to the prevent defense too early and they will give up a couple late TD's that makes this game look closer than it really is.

My prediction is Iowa wins this game 41- 23 and Floyd comes on home to Iowa for another year.
