Iowa, Illinois, Old Dominion…Iowa crowd noise and home field was good prep for Oregon. Flying out west and is IU going to go conservative (to the point of playing not to lose) or open up with the Ducks. Or combination of open up and conservative as game unfolds?

Sanders linked to Ark job Lol….talking about making something worse.

In basketball I remember Knight getting really conservative trying to neutralize opponent strengths. Example 1984 elite 8 loss to Virginia. And then running with UNLV 1987 final 4 win. Opposite strategies with different players involved. Wondering which strategy will be used vs Oregon? And advantages for Oregon home crowd noise IU flying west and a great big game with an excellent coach and talent. And advantages for IU a mysterious coaching strategy that wins sometimes in mysterious ways. (Cig has often referenced a lot of games come down to a play or two). Overall, not many IU turnovers and penalties have been impressive for as aggressive usually plays over the last couple years.

UCONN with the land of giants and players like A. Shade and they are all 5 stars or close to 5 stars and don’t even recruit that hard really….UCONN just gets a lot of what it wants. Hahaha.

9/11/2004 IU 30 vs at 23rd ranked Oregon 24 (same score as Oregon beating Penn State this year). (IU was up in first half in the 20s to nothing but Oregon came back but IU held on unlike a game vs NC State and Rivers at IU who completed comeback. (Oregon 4 first half turnovers and 7 for the game). Coach Dinardo in Oregon game and Coach Cameron in NC State game.

Oregon is close to a two touchdown favorite vs IU in a couple weeks. Solid win to blowout win for Oregon seems to be the thinking.

I guess it’s a good thing for IU that QB didn’t accidentally drop the ball or get it kicked out of his hands while running for a safety.

Same score as Michigan game last year where IU escaped with 20 to 15 win. IU coach is calling the score.

GROWL!

This is going to be a hard stop. However, should be no problem with second string qb. Expecting a turnover.

Iowa kicker to close.

Hometown crowd affect and Iowa is good when they dictate their game.

Brand new game: 9:55 to go Stop and score and stop again.

Iowa took IU Quarterback out of game thus far.

First half: IU went for first down instead of trying to kick fg before the fg at end of first half fg…another way game plays into Iowa’s hand.

Hometown crowd affect again this week

Second half: IU game of higher risk vs teeth pulling Iowa

Ohio State is doing 4 points better at Washington.

IU received a couple first half gifts for 10 10 tie.

Keep IU offense contained (F.M. and receivers) and keep IU defense on field and continue to punish. Gonna be tough half number 2.

Iowa coach is liking what he sees.

Iowa coach is going to be really patient sticking to game plan running on first down and just passing enough to neutralize. In first quarter Iowa is controlling game in their favor and down 4 points.

Illinois wins the Old Fashion Rose Bowl vs USC

Big momentum swing like last week. IU feeding off crowd noise.

Iowa has a few players out themselves. (As many teams). IU may find a new star behind Ponds. Isn’t that an expectation.
