Supporters of Iowa and Nebraska Football have been arguing eternally about their particular programs. Having won more National Championships and have more National Prominence, Husker Supporters have the decided advantage. Due to the fact Nebraska has just became a member of the Big 10 Conference, the rivalry between the Supporters and Players will simply heat up. Hopefully, the powers that be will make sure that Nebraska-Iowa is a yearly affair.

Sportsbook

Personally, I think that the Cornhuskers made a error by joining the Big 10. Although they’ve switched to the Shotgun read option, Power Blocking is what Nebraska does best and still applies some of these principles in their run-Blocking schemes. Nonetheless, the Big 10 is a Conference of Bruisers, used to standing mano-a-mano, 3 Yards and a Cloud of Dust. Nebraska might have been much better served going to the PAC 10, where their new sort of Offense isn’t viewed as much. There is more passing than in the Woody Hayes/Bo Schembechler Days, however the Run is still the Calling Card of this Conference.

Iowa is sort of a Jekyll/Hyde sort of Program, it looks that they constantly lose to someone that they shouldn’t, and beat an adversary that they shouldn’t each year. Due to the fact they are at Home, and the game is in November, this year should be in Iowa’s favor. Taylor Martinez can’t hit the Ocean from the beach. All the Hawkeyes (Or any Team, other than Ohio State) has to do is put eight or nine in the box and dare the Cornhuskers to throw, which they can’t. Furthermore, this positioning gives the Hawkeyes the extra man/men to be disciplined, as well as to stop the read option, especially Martinez, who doesn’t like to and to be truthful can not pitch to his Tailback. Due to the fact the Cornhuskers are getting a little Arrogant these days, even after a loss to Northwestern, I see Iowa as a 4 1/2 to 5 point favorite, and should cover easily. Nebraska isn’t very great on defense either, not lots of speed, but jumpy. Nebraska will be kept on their toes by Screens, Traps Draws, and other types of misdirection Plays. I’ll be viewing to see if Bo Pelini’s head in fact explodes off of his Shoulders. If the sportsbooks make the Cornhuskers the favorite, jump all over the Hawkeyes, as they’ll win straight up.
