Michigan Vs. Iowa

Its Saturday Night in Iowa City, its 70,588 crazy's in Kinnick, its the Wolverines of Michigan with Tate Forcier, and its the Hawkeyes who are ranked #12 in the Nation, and 5-0 looking to go 6-0 for the first time since 1985 when the Hawks were #1 in the Nation and beat #2 Michigan 12-10. Its Michigan Spread offense against The Hawkeye Swarm known as "6 Seconds of Hell".

Are you pumped? Saturday Night Football in Iowa City on ABC National Televised game, this game is setup to be a dandy. For anyone who has not been to a night game at Kinnick, you are missing out. Kinnick is electric, the crowd is into it during warm ups. It has an energy that does not exist on a 11am kickoff. Some big moments have occurred on night games recently. Iowa beat Arizona State in 2003, and defeated Wisconsin in 2004 to become Co-Champions of the Big Ten. Iowa beat #2 Penn State last year which was a late afternoon game, but was mostly under the lights. The only big disappointment at night was against #1 Ohio State. Kinnick was rockin' prior to the Buckeyes having their way with the Hawks.

The Hawks have a great defense and will expose Michigan's offensive line. Michigan will struggle to run the ball, and Tate Forcier will struggle to feel comfortable at Kinnick with the pressure of the defense. Iowa's offensive line should be able to move Michigan's defensive line. The key for Iowa is for the offense to be consistent, and to move the ball both by ground and air without any stupid turnovers. If the Hawks play this game right, they may pound the Wolverines a little bit especially if Michigan makes a lot of mistakes due to defensive pressure, they may fold the tent up in the cold weather, and overwhelming crowd.

It's a Blackout game, its going to be cold, its going to be crazy, its time to fire up ACDC Back in Black, cause Here Come The HAWKEYES!!!!!
