Yes, I understand the differences between the types of football the teams play. And, as noted at the outset, this is the kind of game where you can see how Wisconsin could win it. But...this Wisconsin offense is really, really bad. The defensive front will make Iowa earn its points, and probably not very many, but probably won't score points for Wisconsin. And that is where this all falls apart. Wisconsin may be "in" this game for most of it, because the point differential may not be very big. I just have a hard time seeing how the offense will perform well enough to win. First team to 10 probably wins it. That will be Iowa.

The Iowa offense looked pretty bad against Iowa St and Indiana,  but looked pretty good against Rutgers.  Iowa should be good enough to beat a below average Wisconsin team.

I have a weird feeling about this one.

This Wisconsin team is built with 42 points in mind. Specifically, the front 7 on defense. The team worked on it all offseason and concluded each workout and practice with 42 pushups.

They will deliver for homecoming tomorrow.

Rutgers defense stinks. In total defense they are ranked in the 80's. As far their pass defense goes they rank 113th in defensive EPA/pass, 124th in opposing yards per play, and 117th in opposing passing yards per attempt in the FBS. Probably why Iowa's offense looked good vs that defense.

Wisconsin is still top 5 in the country in rush defense even after giving up 175 on the ground to Michigan last week. They are ranked 40 in total defense- but largely because the pass defense is below average. Not completely comical like Rutgers' pass defense- just well below average.

13 + 10 doesn't add up to 42

Serious question, who actually cares about Homecoming at any large school?  I can see it's kinda of a thing at small colleges,  but seriously who the F cares about it really?  And why?

the Greeks at UNL care, not much for the rest of the student body or definitely not the average football fan

Just a quick note.  This game starts at 6pm,  not 2pm as shown in the thread title.

Iowa's next game against Penn St will also be at night.  That means 5 out of Iowa's first 7 games have been or will be at night.
