*****Iowa vs Michigan Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

2:30pm CBS
Mich -5.5
O/U 38.5

The Hawkeyes (3-0) finally take their show on the road to battle the Wolverines (3-0) in Ann Arbor. So many questions to be answered in this game, the biggest of which is Iowa or Michigan a legit CFP team this season?

Iowa has historically not fared well on the road against top 25 teams. In fact, they have been awful. This game will be another example if Iowa cannot run the ball effectively or if the defense gives up several explosive plays.

in the end, I see a 20-16 Michigan victory. The Iowa offense has a chance late but cannot come through.

Hopefully, your prediction gets flipped around.

I'm assuming LJ Phillips is still out, even though not listed and also James Madison transfer, Trent Wilson, who I don't think has played yet this season.
Having DJV, Moulton and Doll, listed as probable is a good sign.

Go HAWKS!!!

Is he even truly a Hawkeye fan? All I ever saw, before I muted him, was negative crap. I logged in and wasn't signed in and was surpised he starts the official game thread.

Michigan fans on twitter are truly insufferable. Arrogant, condescending, living on the laurels of the past, pretending they are a powerhouse top 5 team, Iowa is way beneath them…etc.
maybe the most arrogant fan base. I hope they get their comeuppance today. If not today they will get it, they aren’t the Michigan of the past.

Over under minutes into the game until you start whining? 3.5?

Best of luck to you and your family and here's to a nice clean game with no injuries where all of the boys on both sides have just a grand time.

On the Michigan side... let's call this educated guesses on my part...nothing official

Sprague will not play. Fwiw, I think it will have more of an effect on the interior. It means Link is (again) kicked out to tackle and the OG that takes his place has been bad

Nichols will play but on a "pitch count." Part of that is Michigan has depth at edge so they don't need to push it

Zeke Berry will but more in a platoon than as the full starter...the first CB off the bench healthy is better than a banged up Berry...though young

Forbes doesn't contribute so his injury doesn't have an impact

Also, Marshall (starting RB) is not listed on the injury report. He will certainly play (why he is not listed) but is banged up. Expect to see more of Hiter and even our 3rd back

 

[AFM22]

Damn that’s quite the injury report for Michigan

2:30 can’t get here soon enough!!!

Mulvaspills we need thou!! 24 years a later

 

[TrojanHawkeye]

Need to be able to run the ball today. Usually, I'm all about passing the ball more but we need to run to set up the pass today. The big uglies need to earn their keep and get a push off the line

Is moulton out? Well, the backups have looked fantastic. But moulton would be good

I’m just the opposite. Pretty sure Michigan will stack the LOS and sell out to stop the run early. I would like to see 1st down targets to TEs or swing passes to RBs to upset their defensive scheme.
