Be prepared for Iowa fans to spout a lot of crap this week. We're averaging 46 points, but allowing 22 points a game. They've yet to allow a touchdown this season, and they're averaging 44 points a game. However, they're doing this while also keeping defense numbers low. No easy turnovers that bail them out of tough situations.
Turnovers are great, and if we're good at them, we'll win games, but it's a very volatile statistic. We won't always have them.
I know it's early, but I thought this about Kansas last year. "Oh, it's early, they're making a feast out of the cupcakes, they'll be exposed in the conference games."
This is the perfect opportunity to take them by surprise... they seem to lose very frequently when they're full of confidence, but they will be taking our offense very seriously. We have an offense, they have an offense. They have a defense, and right now, we don't. SDSU was a great showing until the last moments, but Kent State exposed some very troubling weaknesses. I fully expect next weekend to be a close game, but I'm erring on the side of a "loss". They'll be looking for payback for last year, and it's in Iowa City. If we can snag a win, AWESOME. I can't wait!
