I think it will be something like 17-16 or 20-17. I like the under. I'm concerned Michigan is going to run on us.
Im concerned, Epenesa is going to lose leverage. Michigan's skill is a helluva lot faster than ISU's.
How did Western Michigan handle Michigan's skill? Remember, Michigan really lost that game. Screw job of the century.
Qb has been awful throwing. Plus WMU dominated time of possession 40 to 20. The Michigan qb has Been more effective running for them. Passing #s so fwr 9-17 for 111 vs OU and 12-22 170 vs WMU (47 on Hail Mary and 75 that last drive).
Oklahoma threw way too much. Iowa's game plan will be much closer to what WMU did. Neither team actually rushed for a huge amount but WMU committed to it and was able to keep drives alive late in the game.
experiencing our first cooling of the fall, tomorrow in ann arbor will be rain all day..not sure of the forecast for iowa, but rain would probably lower the score, lol..Michigan has struggled to run the ball with the RB's, oline has been much better at pass pro than running the ball...may be the first time recently that Michigan has the edge in punting, lol..time will tell
wmu is well coached, qb was the returning mac offensive player of the year alongside a 1000 yard RB..moved the chains, played on time, very few penalties and no TO's..Michigan's defense played well but was breaking in new starters at LB and DT, had MA's as was first game playing a new scheme..wmu QB is a duel threat, very heady player..
The talent is there. Epenesa is young and learning. He made some bad decisions vs ISU. He'll make less of them going foward. Bell and Parker will make sure of that.
I expected a bigger line, after they beat OK and we struggled vs ISU. Generally in CFB is about 3.5 for home-field. So Mich is 'favored' by about a point over Hawks. Very interested to see how rest of ISU's season turns out. Maybe Matt Campbell accidentally left his cliff-notes on beating Iowa in the office? 
in today's landscape, surprising he wasn't poached by a P4 team.
There are some studs in FCS that are affordable and would come in and start. The kid Oregon State found at a Mercer threw for 413 yards against Texas Tech Last week( no star ranking out of hs) the WMU kid is savvy and a baller. mestemaker at Okie state was a walk on at north Texas. I think Lester should be scouting the FCS.
Iowa -7 for sure book itIowa +4.5 and o/u of 39.5. I would include records, but not sure of Michigan
