Michigan vs. Iowa, predictions?
Why hasn't this been posted yet?? I don't want to comment on dog groomers or Nickleback.
So anyways, the weather is supposed to be good -well, for November anyways- and I think Denard will be ready to excise the ghost of his previous trip to Iowa City. Omg, that seems like 10 years ago for some odd reason, I wonder if it's in the back of his mind.
Without going into details, I think the team continues to improve as it has on a game to game basis, and I think we take yet another step to being the Michigan of yore...
Michigan 30, Iowa 24

I bet both teams have pretty similar yardage numbers, and the score will be low-ish. The big difference is that once Iowa gets into the redzone, they'll settle for mostly FGs and we'll get the touchdowns. I also expect us to have a couple more big plays than they have.
I expect Iowa to score something like 16 points on 3 FGs and a TD. Even if we have the same number of scores, I would expect ours to be more like 3 TDs and a FG, giving us 24.

Totally unrelated, but not sure where to put this.
I will be in the Toronto area tomorrow and I am trying to figure out if the game will be on TV here. One of the channels lists a game as "Ball State Cardinals at Michigan Wolverines", so I am a bit confused.
Does anyone know what channel it is on if at all? Or do I need to head downtown to a sports bar? Thanks!

I Googled Ball State's schedule, and they play EMU next, so it definitely could be a typo.

Meeechigan 38 - Iowa 17

My odds
<br>
<br>75% of me feels like we will win 38-20
<br>15% is right around a 28-24 win
<br>10% has a grave amount of respect for the fact that IOWA doesn't usually lose at home...so....

Since the game is supposedly blacked out on ESPN3 locally does anyone know of any other sites that the game can be streamed on ?

I believe the defense will raise up and stop a late rally by IA...Mich 24/IA 21

I'm here in Iowa. Drove by the stadium with the scoreboard reading Iowa 45, Michigan 24. Maybe they think that they need a head start.

Coker rumbles for a ton of yards but not a lot of points. Vanderberg completes a bunch of stupid short passes but nothing long. Our offense chugs away

I think Iowa is going to come out pretty inspired and will give us some fits tomorrow. Fortunately, I think we will also give them Fitz. (Sorry.)
- Toussaint eeks past 100 yards on 22 carries and a TD.
- Denard makes some nice plays here and there, but puts up similar numbers as he did to purdue. 12-20, 175 yards 1 td / 1 awful interception. 12 carries, 75 yards and a td on the ground.
- We score a TD out of the Devin/Denard package (Devin)
- Coker annoys us all day to the tune of 25 carries, 125 yards, 2 TDs.
- Vandenberg finds McNutt on a big play td, puts up Cousins-esque numbers, but gives an INT and a fumble on a sack. 20-35, 225 yards, 1 td, 1 int
- Roy Roundtree has a big day. 6 catches, 100 yards and a TD. welcome back, Roy.

iowa comes out and has a much better day than expected. the game is close throughout but denard leads a late drive and gibbons fully lets go of the past and kicks a fg as time expires. mich 31-iowa-28.
