Until Sonny can process info faster teams are going to run at him. If he can come down hill faster and you have Downs covering up right behind him, they shouldn't get a 1st down.

This is one of the teams where I genuinely wonder what would happen if we played cover 1 with 8 in the box all game. Would we be able to hold them to under 50 yards rushing? Would the coverage hold up?

I think the answer is yes on both but I’ve never once seen a defense throw caution to the wind like that other than Va Tech in 2014.

100%. A Bear front with our quality of DB's and nowhere to run in the box would decimate Iowa into at least 1 quarter of negative total yardage. The 2002 season when we played #23 Minnesota and held them to negative yardage the second half, was the best half of Defense I've ever watched at least that I can remember. They ended with 112 total yards that game and I think that this Defense could bring that kind of pain to Iowa on Saturday.
