We sucked yesterday. It’s on the coaches. I’m confident things will get better. ONWARD! #GOBLUE

Hey, can you make that confidence contagious? Coz not everyone is feeling it.
September 25th, 2022 at 12:52 PM ^
Feel like I'd give up to seven at least.

If Michigan plays a clean game, no turnovers, stupid penalties that keep Iowa drives alive, Michigan should win. Iowa can’t win a shootout
I know, I know….no shit, Sherlock. But staying away from turnovers are especially at a premium with Iowa. That’s what their defense thrives on. If Michigan turns the ball over and gives Iowa short fields, they’re in trouble. Assume every turnover you give Iowa spots them a TD. I’d say otherwise, if Michigan can score 17 that should be enough to hold Iowa off. Everyone in that stadium knows Iowa can’t keep up in any semblance of a shootout, or if Michigan scores more than 25-30 points without turnovers.

Michigan hasn't won at Kinnick since 2005. Iowa has had this game circled all off-season after getting embarrassed in the B1G title game last year. Our first game of the season on the road, first time QB on the road. Gonna be a night game. Would be great time to get our starters back healthy.

I mean, sunset does come early in Iowa, but considering that the game starts at 11 AM, the only way it's going to be a night game is if they have 8 hours of lightning delays again.

Was announced as a noon game several weeks ago, muchacho.

My bad - always assume a night game at Kinnick. If noting the obvious challenges cost me some down votes, then so be it.

I'll take the DK line, thank you very much!
And I'd definitely lay the 3.5 on Maryland - they'll crush sparty!

Deep inside, our coaches are still a little afraid of JJ. That's why there was still a QB battle in late August. They saw what he does under pressure against our own defense, not CSU's or Hawaii's or UConn's or even Maryland's.
So (unfortunately IMO) expect the Iowa game to be a rock fight with lots of running into stacked boxes by us for 0 yards. That plays into Iowa's hands, because they may actually be able to run it against us somewhat.
Not exactly looking forward to it. It's a college football trip to the dentist. Hope it does not hurt too much and you can just forget about it the next day.

I believe that Maryland will beat State. Yeah.
I'm looking forward to Michigan's D against Iowa's offense.

Take Maryland.
