Time to bring the Hawks back down to earth. GO BUCKS!

Ferentz locked up league “Coach of the year” last week.

There QB is a better runner than QB too. All about the fronts. Oline and Dline need to step up. And fuck cancer.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

It's been a while since the Bucks have been to Kinnick. I'd expect some major fuckery.

Good work last weekend, Iowa.
Now it's time for you to get back in your hole.
You can come back out to take your 4-1 team to Washington.

This was always the underrated game of the year. Having lost to Texas we obviously can’t afford a loss to a team not named Oregon or Indiana.

if we can’t stop the run I don’t know if the offense can just blow the doors off the defense in this one. Iowa at home should generate a few more stops than typical. If we can’t do the same we could easily walk out with a loss.

Never, ever "underrate" playing at Kinnick. That place is built on an ancient Indian burial ground or something. Strange spooky things happen there. Plus the Cancer Kids. It's evil. My first thought was "at least it's not a night game". Then I looked up that 2017 disaster and saw that it was a 3:30 start too.

Fanduel Sportsbook has the Buckeyes as 14.5-point favorites as they travel to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes. The game total opens at 44.5 points.

Just sayin': The bookies think the final score will be something close to 30 - 15 Ohio State

It's down to -13.5 at DK

OSU's Big Ten season officially begins this weekend.

 

[Jaxbuck]

OSU's Big Ten season officially begins this weekend.

Yep, the season is upon us.

8 games
4 on the road
the two "easiest" teams left both are home games

IU, USC and Oregon all go without saying as being tough games.

Any team that can run the ball, and is willing to stick with it, while playing some decent level of defense can cause this OSU team a serious problem. That most certainly covers Iowa and tsun, maybe Nebraska now too.

NU and Maryland shouldn't be pulse raisers.

Buckle up.

 

[System_id]

Yeah this game scares the fuck out of me. Can easily see Iowa going on 8 minutes drives running the ball at 4 yards a clip.

There QB is a better runner than QB too. All about the fronts. Oline and Dline need to step up. And fuck cancer.

Just sayin': Luckily this pass was right on target.

What can Brown do for you?

 

[Jaxbuck]

I dunno, I need to watch it a few more times to be sure he caught it.

 

[Drubuck]

D line better show up.
