Although the outcome from last week was not what we wanted, we definitely could see a lot of positives to build on. The offensive line had a good start as the offense combined for over 200 yards rushing. We saw the faster paced offense that will result in us seeing a lot more plays this year. We also saw a more aggressive play calling that has not been seen from Kirk Ferentz teams. As the team gets more game reps in this style I think this team will be dangerous this year. I still see 8 wins coming.
This week's game does not pose much of a challenge. I predict Iowa is going to win this game 48-15 as they continue to work on this faster offense. The team is going to combine for 350 yards rushing with Weisman and Bullock both topping 100 yards and Canzeri and LeShun Daniels getting some steady action. I also think we will see a breakout game of sorts from Damond Powell as you will see him top 100 yards and get a TD. The surprise again this week will be the lack of getting the Tight Ends involved.
Overall we should leave this game with some confidence and excitement going into the Iowa State game. Although, leave is a relative term for me today as I won't be at Kinnick due to a 9 year old's flag football game I need to coach. Looks like DVR for me.
