Like some have said, Coach Chimp has the team running smash mouth, where they definitely prefer to run the ball. QB is super shaky, but can run. I think their DLine is weak in the middle (VT was pushing it around). Defense is pretty good, otherwise. Longerbeam is fun to watch.
Since it's in NYC, will this come on to hype up the crowd?
Good defense awful QBNow that we know where we're going bowing, does anyone have any insight into this Rutgers team? I'll admit I have watched zero Rutgers football since they were in the Big East so, what are we looking at here?
Scoff if you will but 8-5 with a bowl win always looks better than 7-6.
That crazy..Iowa had a defensive TD?All I need to know is they gave up 22 points to Iowa.
It was the only game all year that Iowa went over 400 yards of total offense.That crazy..Iowa had a defensive TD?
Look at our recent bowl record. We don't take anything for granted.Can't believe we're worried about Rutgers. Times have changed man
True. Even that though. Wtf happened to us smhLook at our recent bowl record. We don't take anything for granted.
and gonna miss our QB, C, OG, both Safeties, starting DT all to the pre-draft prep...... and Chaney, Harvey etc.. to the portal.....Look at our recent bowl record. We don't take anything for granted.
iowa won 10 games. give me that any day of the weekWe most definitely did not.
Did we turnover the ball a lot? Yes.
But we had under 450 total yards of offense 4 times.
Iowa NEVER had more than 450 total yards of offense. Let me repeat that.
Iowa. Never. Produced. More. Than. 450. Total. Yards. Of. Offense. In. Any. Game. This. Year.
Absolutely insane.
The X factor is the weather and we all know this. There could very well be snow on the ground. I will say this team is much tougher physically and mentally then in year's past. So hopefully cold weather doesn't prevent us from pounding the ball down their throats.

Would be nice if our DB's play in the bowl game, and we eliminate their run game.
