This looks like a low scoring game, when you just look at the Iowa side.  Iowa has a pretty good defense, so that should keep the Maryland score low. Iowa also struggles on offense, so that should keep the Hawkeye scoring output, under control. I don’t know what to expect from the Terps here, I’m not sure it matters that much, as Iowa’s proclivities/style/tendencies might greatly control the type of game that happens.

This being a Friday night game,  it seems to add another level of unpredictability to this game.   

The PAC-12 seems to have a lot of good teams get upset when they have to travel on a Friday night.  But the twist was the PAC was scheduling Saturday road games followed by a Friday road game.  The Big Ten does a better of job of avoiding that.

Iowa may not be in too bad of shape, they played their last game at home and is mostly healthy.  Plus Iowa is used to playing Friday games because of Black Friday games against Nebraska.  They should be ok.

sp+ model predicts Maryland wins 25-21.
Iowa's defense has not given up 25 or more points in a game since 2018.  So if MD scores 25 points against Iowa, that will be a big deal.

Ferentz has stated he doesn't like Friday games

I think it is a definite advantage for the home team because they don't have the travel day.  

From what I saw when I was there, UMD doesn't have much of a crowd/noise HFA like Iowa does but I think the short rest issue helps Maryland.  The thing is that Maryland has had great starts followed up by terrible finishes the last few years so does that continue or do they keep rolling this year?

I'm also kind of against Friday night games - high school football is only sacred if you don't try to compete with it. OTOH I'm not going to any high school games Friday, my wife will probably fall asleep by 8, so it will be nice to have something to watch.

I recall a few Thursday night games where you had game day traffic combined with regular rush hour traffic. 

Good times.

He hyperextended the knee about 30 degrees. I couldn't watch it on rerun not even to celebrate th Iowa fumble recovery. It was awful to watch.
