******* Iowa Weekly Discussion Thread***
- Thread starter keepngoal

I think we have a realistic chance at beating them Saturday but in most years Iowa controls the line of scrimmage and we do enough dumb things in close games to shoot ourselves in the foot and ends up costing us the game. Hopefully won't go that way this year.
If some of you folks would learn how to spell, that would be great. You think you’re being clever, but you’re embarrassing the rest of us with an ISU education.
This and until Campbell shows different he doesn't seem to coach this game like Mac did where Iowa game was a must win at all costs.
Of course Mac was an Iowan also played into this and Campbell isn't. Campbell obviously wants to win this game but it's not the end all be all

Which was out of necessity back in the 90s/early 00s
I don’t feel confident about this one. Which probably means we win.
I’ll go with 20-14 Iowa. Will be happy to be wrong.

At the end of broadcast in talking about the upcoming cy-hawk game John and Eric brought up that we have played them better in Iowa City as of recent history. Hope trend can continue.
It also was because Mac was from Iowa. I think that Campbell isn't plays into acting like it's just another game.
For sure was a big factor. With where the program was at, he needed to end the streak and turn around the series if we was going to build a program.
Also think Fry running up the score on him in 97(?) flipped a switch in him.
Pretty sure it was just to keep his job but I guess it's the same thing.
Having Iowa suck for 3/5 of his own streak sure helped.
Probably gets canned after 98 if he doesn’t win at Kinnick that year.
But that did give the fans a boost, and he got over the hump in 2000
Iowa’s offense does that in second half against crap teams. Hopefully we aren’t one of them.
Against good teams their offense looks like the first half the entire game.
My observation of breakdowns on "D" were the linebackers 'overplaying' or 'not gap sound'. So, yes, I'll bet there's extra focus there this week.
I think it’s funny when Iowa fans hate CMC.
During the Mac years they all dreamt of a coach who would lose to Iowa then beat top teams in the Big 12, as opposed to Mac typically beating Iowa then rarely if ever beating ranked big 12 teams. They got their wish, they should love the guy.

Vegas has this as 2.5 point game so it is certainly winnable. Put it in Rocco’s hands and let him deal to some the best receivers the hoks will see all year.
They are the fake ID of college football, feasting on a soft B1G West schedule. But CMC is 1-7 against them. CMC has lost to them with some of our best teams ever. There is a good reason people have minimal confidence playing them at this point.
Hell, at this point I feel more confident lining up against Oklahoma than iowa.
