Iowa won 8 of the past 11. 7 of 11 were one score games; Iowa won 5 of 7 one score games.
Even when these games are not supposed to be close they almost always are close.
It is sort of like a rivalry game.

| It would be pretty funny if the West Division team that generated the most negative ink this year (Iowa), wound up representing the division in Indianapolis for the second straight year, and third time in the past nine years, trailing only Ohio State (4) for appearances in that time frame. But when Jake Moody made his game winning kick, shortly before Iowa kicked off last weekend, the Hawkeyes took control of their own championship destiny. Minnesota outgained the Hawkeyes by over 100 yards, dominated time of possession, held Iowa scoreless for over 45 game minutes, and had Mo Ibrahim run for 263 yards. But Iowa did Iowa things. Twice in the final 5 minutes, the Gophers were in scoring position, to win the game, and the Hawkeyes forced a fumble at the 9, and an interception at the 33, and then ended a string of 6 empty drives by kicking the winning field goal. Now all that stands between them and Indianapolis is a Nebraska team that once again found a way to lose a game they had seemingly wrapped up. It was the Huskers fifth consecutive loss, and they've held fourth quarter leads in 4 of their 8 losses. After holding the Badgers to 193 yards and 3 points on the game, they surrendered 125 yards and two touchdowns on two fourth quarter drives. The bigger problem was an offense that looked just as inept, even with the return of Casey Thompson. Thompson helped the passing game, with a serviceable 12-20 for 106 yards, 2 touchdowns and no picks. But if you are going to tally just 106 passing yards, you can't combine that with just 65 rushing yards on 2.2 ypc. While Ibrahim had himself a day last Saturday, the Iowa run defense still remains a solid unit. While the Nebraska run attack has fallen all the way to #13 in the conference. With nothing to lose, assuredly not returning to Lincoln next year, and no postseason this year, one would hope Mark Whipple would let Thompson throw it downfield. The only shot Nebraska has in this one is to let Trey Palmer go wild over the top, like he did against Purdue. Iowa has dominated this series recently, and while the last four have been close (average margin of victory of 4.8 ppg), the Hawkeyes have won 7 in a row. Make it 8. |

Only at Iowa is a blocking fullback two of its top offensive players.This has me curious now. I have watched all the Iowa games this year and I don't remember them playing the fullback as much as Iowa typically has in the past. Of course my memory is not 100% reliable. But I wonder if there is a way to look up the percentage of plays where Iowa's offense is playing a fullback.
I've watched a handful of the Hawk gamesExcept in Pottebaum's case, he actually did get hurt.
the Fullback isn't on the field much, when he is, many times he's noticed by the announcer
maybe he should be playing more?
couldn't hurt
Nebraska vs. Iowa Prediction: Hawkeyes Look to Clinch Big Ten West With Another Win Over the CornhuskersHope they're right.Of course I don't know how the west would look after that.It certainly wouldn't help the winner of the East with style points
Prediction: Nebraska 19, Iowa 16
Playing the Hawkeyes or any team from the west isn't going to help the East, but the winner of "the game" doesn't need helpNope, but the loser might!
just need the win
gonna be #2 with a win
not gonna jump the Dawgs no matter what
how will/can the West chump help the looooser of "the game"Just so ya know lance leipold signed an extension
the loooser won't play them
and the winner is gonna win the Chump game vs whomever
I guess Iowa controlling their own destiny is not good for Iowa.All year long looking best in the West has been a curse.

Nebraska vs. Iowa Prediction: Hawkeyes Look to Clinch Big Ten West With Another Win Over the Cornhuskers
Iowa can make it back-to-back Big Ten Championship Game appearances with an eighth straight win in the battle for the Heroes Trophy.

Logic and reason say this ends up being an easy two-score win for the Ferentz family. But college football is weird sometimes. Maybe the Thanksgiving tryptophan hits differently or Iowa understandably chalks this up as a cakewalk. Either way, embrace the chaos.
Prediction: Nebraska 19, Iowa 16
What's with all that ice in the scotch?I prefer one large cube, but didn't plan ahead
Whenever Brian Ferentz tells a joke he immediately follows it up with "No offense"As in, hey Brian, you suck as an offensive coordinator, no offense.
