Here are my keys to winning this game:
1) Protect Weber (Iowa is #11 in the BT in making sacks, so this might be possible)
2) Crowd the line and play the run. Green is not a cutback runner so we won't have to worry about over-pursuit.
3) Reduce penalties and mental errors. We are the most penalized team in the conference.
4) Get Iowa in 3rd & long situations (they are #9 in the BT in 3rd down conversions)
5) Let Weber run the ball; it seems to loosen him up and elevate his passing game.
My list could go on, but I'll limit it to these 5 things.
I think Iowa is probably the best team we've played since Ohio State. We'll have to play two halves like the first one last week in order to close the dome out with a W.
Go Gophers!
