Guess the Score - Iowa Edition

26-0

Michigan: many

Iowa: not many

37 to negative infinity

69-3 (Iowa FG with no time left to end the game and before the Hawkeyes get their participation trophies).

37-9

Iowa gets a pick six and a safety.

44-14.

38-3

30-10 Michigan. Not as close as the score  would indicate.

33-9

52 - 2 

Michigan, 42-6 

24-0 at half.

34-3 M.  No JJ in the 4th.

35-10 Michigan

30-3

41-10. Our smothering defense should allow more than the usual offensive possessions but would expect JJ to sit after dipping his toe into the third quarter.

However, not counting chickens out of respect for Super Bowl III.

27-9.  Iowa gets a TD late when we put in the 2nd and 3rd stringers.  And somehow Iowa gets a safety - seems like they always get a safety...

35-2

27 - 3 Michigan.

I like 31-7

One of the first two drives goes for a FG. The other goes for a TD. At that point, with Michigan more interested in championship game experience for the 2s and 3s, than in style points, it's Tuttle time in the late first quarter, and Mullings ends up going for about 200 yards and 3 more TDs.

Iowa does NOT get even one sad FG, and the final score is 31–0. Michigan covers, but the historic Under is preserved. James Franklin gets a raise that week for transitively tying Michigan. But the most important thing is no one gets injured, and all of the beat Georgia stuff (and the rest of the beat Ohio stuff) remains in the bag for the CFP.

31–0

[was really tempting to come up with a narrative for 66–0, but I think we just play it safe once we've scored, because the game is basically over at that point.]

8 - 3 (2 field goals and a safety) win for the good guys 

Iowa forfeit

38-6 good guys.

42-3 Michigan over I-o-way, I-o-way, that’s where the tall corn grows. 

30-6 Michigan

31-3. 

Iowa's offense should be a violation of the Big Ten Sportsmanship policy.  

34 - 5.

32 - 4 Michigan

Because why the fuck not?

Go Blue!

39-0

Here’s my score prediction:

Michigan 28

Iowa 2

Michigan covers but the under hits because it’s an Iowa game.

3-0 Michigan.

2-0

42-3

Did the job in ‘21. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Rest the starters and stay healthy for the Rose Bowl.

Alternatively, 65-0 for Zak. If trying for this score, let Ferentz know the plan when Michigan is up 38-0 at halftime.

27-3 Michigan wins. I think it’ll be like 10-0 at halftime and then we open up a big third quarter before we pull our starters in the fourth. 

12-10 Meechigan… just because you know 

47-1.5

Yep, B. Ferentz will figure a way to score half of one point. And then do it three times.

Fewer fireworks than in the '21 game.

Michigan 31, Iowa 6.

I'm hedging on whether Iowa scores a TD against our 2's/3's but misses the PAT, 2 sad FG's or 3 ebullient safeties.

M 24-0
