I was there too.  I remember being extremely drunk (and happy)
If you can remember, well, never mind...

M* shouldn't have a problem with Iowa @ home. The last time Iowa football won at Michigan was 2010, would be a good time to break from that  aberration

depends on Underdog - if he has no turnovers, M wins

Not sure if Iowa's offensive stats are all that impressive.  They looked good against NIU and UNI but ISU held them to 16.  Yeah, yeah, it's a rivalry, but M has just a little bit more talent on its roster than the Clones.  Iowa's offense is actually functional compared to Oklahoma's, but Michigan is going to probably dare them to throw.  Not sure if Brown's going to be able to take the next step and make Iowa a credible threat through the air.

It should be noted that Iowa's DL is a little undersized compared to previous years.  This is ok against passing teams but could be a problem against any old fashioned power rushing teams.   Iowa St did not get a lot of points against Iowa but they were able to get some first downs running the ball.  Michigan can maybe exploit this.

I just saw that ISU lost 55 transfers and took in 48.

So much for roster development.

Those two are different schools?

And Brent Venables needs to go back to coaching defense only, I suspect.

They had NOBODY left.  And several of the 55 went to PSU, which is why I'm really curious as to how good they really are...is their ranking a helmet job?  A very drab and plain one, but, still.
