Why not? Iowa will run their traditional 4-3. We have shown the ability to run the football so its not like their LB's can cheat over to cover the slot. If our receivers can block the corner it could be a big play.
Jon Miller never learns

I think the real point to be made here is that he doesn't need to. He just needs to be efficient and effective, and between that, our running game and our defense, playing well will get the win.
Read the posts and STFU. Nobody is getting overly worked up over what Jon Miller says.
Iowa needs to worry less about Steele and more about Shontrelle Johnson and James White. If they can't handle those two it will be a long afternoon for Iowa.
I think Tulsa was a good confidence boost for Jantz. He has the ability to do that again against Iowa, and other times this year. But I think we will and should establish the run from the start. That only makes Steele's job easier. We need to try to quite the crowd a little from the start, and I don't think they will be able to stop our run game. I'd like to see Nealy get a few carries too.
I wouldn't be against the first play of the game being a bubble screen though, except if/when they try jumping it we burn them deep.

Jantz was at home week 1 which to me is a huge advantage in the 1st game. How did he do on the road last year versus at home? JVB was on the road week 1 and he does not play nearly as well on the road as he does at home. If JVB's stats hold true he will throw for 260 yds, 2.6 td's and complete 67% of his passes while throwing .3 int's. That's what he does at home on average.
What does jantz do on the road?

Who gives a ****? Good quarterbacks don't care if they're playing at home, on the road, or on ******* Mars.
And Jantz' numbers are better on the road, for what it's worth...which should be nothing.
GMFB, pretty sure. Aside of that, I do know that he's unbeaten against Iowa.

Mostly right.
Get good production from running game, stay on plus side of turnover margin, take advantage of scoring opportunities and maintain field position, Iowa State wins safely (perhaps not "convincingly" on the scoreboard).
If most of that happens, Jantz won't have to do anything spectacular.
if you watched the faceoff with CW he seems pretty level headed... guess he was just flattering Chris
The played too early IMMEDIATELY followed by the played too late excuse is my all time favorite, because it actually happened!!! I mean how pathetic. Of course you left on one classic:
We came out flat.
This one used to be #1 idiot crybaby excuse before "it's your superbowl" overtook it. I think there were at least 3-4 "flat" performances in a row at one point.
Excuses are like Hawk fans...everyone knows at least one and they all suck!! :yes:
I just can't help but keep thinking about what Steele's numbers would have been like if it weren't for all the dropped passes. I know 6 of his first 7 incomplete passes all hit guys on the hands...
