Iowa at Michigan Prediction Thread

Submitted by big10football on

Hadn't seen one posted yet,  so I figured I'd do the honors.

We bend but don't break on a couple crucial drives.

UM - 28  

Iowa - 27

I think all these predictions of us laying down 40 today are wack. We certainly can win this game, but...

Iowa 38 UM 21.  

I want to be wrong.  But until I see it, I stand by what I said last year (as it carries over now) - we won't win a B10 game that we don't score 30+ in, and, frankly, there are good enough defenses in the B10 to keep us under 30 now and then.  I think Iowa's one of them.

 

With that said, Hey, Rick Six!  Where you been?  Hope to see you around 3:30 EST today.

My predictions:

  • We will miss Odoms in both the running and passing game.
  • We will see Denard running many, many times today today. To the tune of 30 carries for 166 yards.
  • No other running back will get more than 60 yards, and Denard will not have a run longer than 30 yards.
  • We will, however, have a few deep bombs completed as we focus more on our outside WRs today.
  • Roundtree will have a great day, dominating the slot position.
  • Denard will throw as many TDs and INTs.
  • To the glee of real Americans everywhere and to the detriment of Michigan fans, Stanzi will not throw a pick-six today. He will throw a boring pick instead.
  • We will have a great return, either on punt return or kickoff return. It's about time, dang it.
  • I will be drunk and having a good time watching this game. It's going to be a beautiful day and it's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
  • The good guys will win today*: Michigan 31, Iowa 28. Who knows how we get there, maybe with 3 2-point conversions. Certainly not a field goal attempt.

* In the event we don't win, for the love of god let's not have an MGoCommunity meltdown. Iowa is a dang good team with a dang good defense. Just because we held them close last year at their place does not mean we are guaranteed to beat them this year at ours. See State, Michigan. /premature soap box rant

UofM 34 UI 27

Two td's from Hemingway and a T. Gordon int.

Time difference is killing me, 8pm here and I have been waiting for this all day. Let's go boys, let's overachieve for a change.

My head says Iowa's defense is impenetrable, but my heart says Denard is the best non-professional athlete in the country, and will live up to his vow of never playing that way again. Everyone on the team is hungry to gain respect in the Big 10, and I feel that this will be a statement game.
