The point spread got a little out of control last week in the Iowa-Ohio State game. Blame it on quarterback Drew Tate and Iowa's need to go all pass after it fell behind in the second half. That's a lot of pressure on an above average (but not great) QB who is apparently suffering from a painful abdominal injury.
This week I will be among the 70,000 at Kinnick, thanks to my parents still being out of town and their tickets needing a user. My father-in-law Dick and I will be on the 32 yard line expecting a big victory.
Purdue is a pass-happy team that is a little defense. Iowa is going to run, run, run until it proves it can, and then it will run some more. If the run isn't working, only then will the Hawks consistently put the ball in the air. When Purdue has the ball, it will drive Iowa fans crazy with the five yard passes all day long.
I look for an Iowa win, for sure, but the point prediction is tough. Will the game be close? Will it be high scoring or low? I think it will be a close game, and the score will be medium. Lets call it ...

Brian,
Have fun at the game Saturday. I almost got to go to the Ohio State game last weekend. A friend thought he was going to have an extra ticket but then it fell threw. Not a big deal, though, because he didn't get home until about 1:30 or so.
Any chance you'd still be interested in coming up to preach? Any weekend the next month or so would work good for me.
Have fun at the game and I'll talk to you later.
