#5 Iowa (2-0, 5-0) at #20 Maryland (2-1, 4-1) Post Game

The early line has Iowa favored in this one by 4. It should be a good test for Iowa's defense.
It will probably be too much of a test for Iowa's offense.
I expected Iowa's offense to come into bloom against Kent State and Colorado St., and I expected it to gain momentum coming into the Maryland game.
Iowa takes care of the ball pretty well, but the offensive line is not able to sustain run blocking. It does a little better at pass blocking. It has to do much better at pass blocking because QB Spencer Petras wears rubber boots and the cement he is in is setting, i.e., he can't move his feet.

Defenses, including Kent State and Colorado State, think they have a blueprint for stopping Iowa.  Put 6, 7, or even 8 guys in a box and just dare Iowa to throw the ball.

Iowa experimented with some different things against CSU to counteract this plan

1.  Throwing to TE like Iowa always does
2.  Running  WR reverses, jet sweeps and mis-direction with mixed success
3.  Playing speedy freshman WR to see if they are better at getting open.  This also has had mixed results,  but freshman keegan-Johnson did catch a couple of deep throws, including a 46 yard TD catch against CSU.

I have a hunch Iowa has a couple more tricks coming against MD to try to open up the offense.

Iowa has kicked our arse every year except for the first one, so that's what I expect this time...

I can't believe Iowa lost.  Chalk another one up for the Big Ten East.

going to be a really good one. I think Maryland pulls off the upset. Tua Jr looks pretty good.

It is a interesting coincidence that Kent State has played Iowa and MD back to back in the last 2 weeks but I am not sure if we would learn much from  comparing the 2 games.

Iowa won 30-7
MD won 37-16
 
MD threw for over 400 yards.  Iowa threw for barely 200 yards while Tyler Goodson ran for a career high  164 yards.

MD and Iowa is probably going to be a close game, which we knew already.

Iowa is favored by 4 in this game with an over/under of 46.  This suggests a final score of

Iowa 24,  MD 20

But this seems a little high for both iowa's offense and defense.  I am thinking it would be more like

Iowa 14,  MD 13

Correct it seems like a good barometer between to opponents that appear about equal but it's a strange shaped ball.Just takes a few quirks here and there to turn it into the last half of the 4 th Qtr of ND/UW.Hell Maryland might pull it out and MTwerp won't be around to grouse

Hey, whatever happened to McTwerps?

(Yes, I know its actually MCWTerps,  but I originally thought it was McTwerps so I still pronounce that way in my mind even though I know better now)

If Iowa can't beat Maryland this weekend, then this could get really silly.
