I'm a strong Iowa fan but have concerns about MSU as I believe they have more talent overall although I'm not an expert enough to know that for certain. Anyway, they are a very well coached team and are consistently good. And they finish games. They seem to always play at a high level whch requires focus.
Iowa does have talent too but mostly under appreciated I think. CJ Beathard, our QB, is heady and can make all the throws plus run the ball. We have four proven backs, tight ends that can catch and run, linebackers that can go sideline to sideline, and a safety that leads the nation in interceptions. But I think the intangible is their focus also, like MSU, and a team chemistry we haven't seen in years.
I'm hoping for a Hawk win obviously, but either way, I hope it's a good game, a close one and well played.
