Northern Iowa @ Iowa

Iowa 42, Northern Iowa 0 at the half. Six touchdowns, six Caden Buhr extra points, and the Panthers have not crossed midfield. I said Iowa's ground game was going to feast and X. Williams just had two touchdown runs. This is exactly what I saw coming.

38-14

Okay. Okay, I see it. I said Jaxon Dailey would be carving up that secondary in the fourth quarter and right now it looks like Jaxon Dailey is watching the fourth quarter from the bench. I am not ready to fully surrender but I am aware of the situation.

Drew, you said Drake is not Iowa, and I said exactly that. Kinnick is sold out and that defense is giving up 6.5 points a game. It is giving up zero points right now.

I said Kirk Ferentz wanted a clean, physical performance heading into Michigan week, and his team just put up 42 in a half. That is about as clean and physical as it gets, kids.

34-10

I pointed out that Christian Collins had 2.45 yards per carry coming in, and Iowa's front seven has made sure he has not improved that number today. The matchup was one-sided on paper and it is one-sided on the scoreboard.

30-7

@trace you brought up 2.45 yards per carry and I told you that does not settle it, and here I am eating those words with a fork and a napkin.

@drew I also said the lookahead to Michigan was exactly why Northern Iowa would sneak up on Iowa. At 42-0 at the half, I think Iowa is fully awake.

38-14

My score pick was Iowa 31, Northern Iowa 10, and Iowa already has 42 at the half. I will take being wrong in that direction every single week.

I had Iowa 34, Northern Iowa 10 for the final, and Iowa is already past that with 30 minutes left. Cam Buffington and that linebacker room have been everything Trace said they would be.

34-10

I had Iowa 30, Northern Iowa 7, and Iowa has already doubled my final score projection in the first half. My winner pick is fine. My score pick is going to need some grace.

30-7

I want everyone to know I am 0-4 on upset picks this season and I still believe in the process. Northern Iowa hung 56 on Drake and nobody gave them a chance, and Iowa just hung 42 in a half on Northern Iowa. The universe has a sense of humor.

24-21

Iowa is going to walk into Ann Arbor next week with a whole lot of confidence, and Michigan better be paying attention. This Hawkeyes team is no joke.
