** 2023 Opponent Preview : Iowa (Game 12) **

[MyBloodIsRed16]

Iowa QB Hill reminds me of #22 Kentucky QB. Hefty 6'3" 260 lbs (Hill).

Last game Deacon Hill stats (Wisky vs. Birds): C/ATT .... 6/14. Passing, only 37 yards.  Rushing,  -18.

6'4" 285 lbs

I think he died in 2019.  He played for the river monsters and was well over 300lbs

I did too!  :lol:   I took Iowa and the under last week and won 6x my original bet.

45.6% passing.  Yowza

And that's being pulled up by McNamara's 51.1% - Hill is at 38.6% on 70 attempts. And yet, he's 2-0 as a starter.

Full send on every play then.

Actually, I'd do a lot of the opposite.  Sit back and make dang sure you can stop their run. If you're sure he's passing, then rush.  He can't complete a pass anyway.  Commit enough defenders to cover there TEs.

I do feel a little bit bad for them, because they again had a team with 2 legitimate NFL caliber TEs (not first rounders like Hockenson/Fant, but still draft picks). Losing both of them and the only legitimate QB on the roster does suck. They weren't going to average 25 ppg anyway but losing NFL caliber players from an already terrible offense is rough. I am not particularly worried about covering Steven Stilianos.

Through 7 games, they are averaging 247 yards per game and 21 points per game.  If being boring keeps them under that, I'll love watching it.  I would absolutely love it if we kept them under 100 yards rushing and forced them to try to pass.

No.....just.....no. 

 

[BigRedBuster]

If I'm understanding the stats on ESPN correctly, they are allowing around 2.7 yards per punt return.  Oh...how I would love to have some good returns against them to make their punter less of a factor.
