Minny offense: A weak running team, only about 2.5 yards per carry bodes well of iowa
their qb Lindsay a very good veteran, makes all the throws, they have tallish WRs against our shorter Dbacks so expect Minny to pass any down and often and they like to throw the fade against the sideline. Their OLine not good run blocking as said but good pass pro
Minny defense: They have 2 very good DEnds who set up wide pre-snap and ASmith is a really good pass rusher but their 2 starting DTackles are poor against the run and their backups are poorer so expect Iowa to use a lot of power runs from guard-tackle to guard tackle gap. They have a very good Lbkr Berenoski?? and former hawk John Nestor is playing very well at one corner but the Bros say he bites on the first of a double move pass pattern a lot so maybe some out and ups and curl and go plays. They are in a 1 high safety alot as they us another safety to make an 8 man box and this defense leaves a big gap between the sideline cornerback and the middle safety so look for a receiver to go up the middle to occupy the one deep safety, a receiver to go up the sideline to occupy the corner, and then beat a LBkr or the other safety in the space by the hashmarks with a 3rd receiver to that side.
I hope it works out great for Iowa not just as a big fan but to see the players grow as a team and get rewarded.
