Iowa’s offense this year has the same number of touchdowns as Corum.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
here is the detailed breakdown
November 26th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
As my MGoWife and I change a newborn's diaper, this hits differently.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
Don't worry. It gets worse.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
does not. it gets better. children are a blessing from the Lord, like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemy at the gate.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
The poop gets worse though.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:15 PM ^
For a bit, then better. And the older kids can help with diapers with the younger ones. One of the many ways a larger family is far more manageable than you might think.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:41 PM ^
Pooping aside, he's the greatest gift from God we could ever ask for!
November 27th, 2023 at 12:10 AM ^
You are so outnumbered you have to say that.
November 27th, 2023 at 6:31 AM ^
we went to a zone defense 20 yrs ago but it worked out great, mostly because of dear wife.
November 27th, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
Wear them down wear them out. Stick to the plan. Block out the outside noise!
November 26th, 2023 at 9:18 PM ^
If Corum scores on the opening drive, the game might be over.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:26 PM ^
might?
November 26th, 2023 at 9:33 PM ^
Then Orji and 10 lineman? 48 straight running plays?
November 26th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
9 linemen, Orji, and Kenneth Grant in at fullback
November 26th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
Owww!
November 26th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
I really, REALLY hope that Harbaugh has had too much time on his hands and has discovered random stupid internet strategy regarding Grant.
I want to imagine him rolling into a team meeting tomorrow morning and KG being his number one suggestion.
"It's like The Train formation... BUT! It is 9 offensive linemen, Orji, and Kenneth Grant. I want a Hawkeye to literally take a football up the ass. I want those poor kids in the hospital to CRY when it happens live on television."
Jim gets a weird look in his eyes. "I think we could do that on every goddamn play for 4 quarters."
November 27th, 2023 at 3:10 AM ^
Soooo bad about the kids in the hospital, but I laughed so hard at it for far too long... that's some Ted Laso shit for sure
November 26th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
And a punt, because THAT is winning.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
Why not? That's basically what Iowa does.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
Remember, every team that plays Michigan preps as it is their most important game of the year. Jim and the team won't be taking Iowa lightly.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
I've seen one too many superior Michigan teams get dragged into a stupid mind numbing shit show slog of a game with Iowa to take them lightly.
November 27th, 2023 at 12:03 AM ^
This era is different, see UM vs. Iowa ‘21 and UM vs. Iowa ‘22. I don’t expect them to cover the 23-point spread, but I don’t expect to sweat over the final result either.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:26 PM ^
Why is this OP more than 6 words long?
The offense is the defense and field goal kicker.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
You forgot the punter. He's an important part of their offense
November 26th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
Erick All is still Iowa’s leading receiver by yardage and TDs despite being out since their October 14 game. He is third in total receptions.
November 27th, 2023 at 12:01 AM ^
There's a line in tomorrow’s Iowatch that’s exactly this. Stop stealing my thunder, dammit!
November 26th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Iowa's best strategy might be to punt on first down and hope the defense can get turnovers.
They rush for 3.46 yards/attempt.
Passing Rating 95.91
Third Down Conversion: 31%
...and that's against a lot of bad teams.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
There's absolutely no reason Michigan should lose this game, which is exactly why they could. Stay focused and don't get injured. Iowa's defense is no joke and they got ten wins with the worst offense in college football. They find a way to win.

Like two years ago, I expect Michigan to not be unnecessarily risky on offense. They knew (and know) that Iowa can’t score to stay in the game. There’s a chance that this is a boring first half
November 27th, 2023 at 12:05 AM ^
Are you forgetting that the second TD (the one that all but sealed it while the game still had 3+ quarters to go) came on a halfback pass?
November 26th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
If we score 10 points it should be enough.
November 26th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
Last I checked, Michigan is a 22.5 point favorite, which means the score is likely to be 22.5 to 0 or maybe 25.5 to 3.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
Right now DraftKings has Michigan -23.5; O/U 35.
This implies a final score of M 29.5, Iowa 6, or perhaps M 29, Iowa 6.5.
FanDuel has Iowa's team total at 6.5. In a championship game. Truly incredible.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Iowa...offense? I know what both words mean but not the way they fit together with any sort of coherence. It's just jibber jabber.
November 27th, 2023 at 1:22 AM ^
Iowa offensive...
November 26th, 2023 at 10:59 PM ^
Michigan was up 14-13 at halftime against Purdue last year. It’s an emotional let down game after a win against OSU. They were up 14-3 against Iowa in 2021. It’ll be a slog for about half the game most likely. Vanilla game plan, JJ will prob be a pocket passer only, trying for no more injuries, Iowa pulls out everything they have, etc means a closer game than we would like for about 2 1/2 quarters. I hope I’m way off and we are up huge in the 3rd and start resting players.
November 26th, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
In the TCU vs Oklahoma game yesterday (69-45 win for Oklahoma), every single quarter featured more points scored than the entire Nebraska vs Iowa game.

Tommy Doman is the PUNT KING
