Iowa Preview

What is left to play for? Pride? If we had played for pride we wouldn’t be in this situation. The seniors? It’s hard to play for the seniors when one in particular, be it fairly or unfairly, is a main reason we are in this situation. The future? Because of recent failures in recruiting even the immediate future doesn’t look bright. The bucket game in a week is obviously much more important, so why should we even bother making the trip to Iowa City this week? I predict it could be worth it.

Other Big Ten Prediction:

In lieu of a full Big Ten preview this week I'll just do some quick picks on the other four games. Most of them aren't that exciting as we wait for the big Michigan State-Penn State game.
The Spartans are off this week, so they have planty of time to prepare. Penn State is just virtually off this week.

Penn State 45, Indiana 7 - Welcome to a no way in hell game. Of course, I'm just a blogger, not a real journalist. What do I know?

Michigan 24, Northwestern 23 - That looked like a mojo-turning game int he dome last week.

Wisconsin 17, Minnesota 13 - Minnesota's offense is awful right now. The only win they have in the last three weeks was because our offense is worse.

Ohio State 23, Illinois 7 - Ohio State had "the look" last week. Where was it against USC and Penn State?
