Northwestern is the worst 4-0 team in the country, then what does that make Minnesota?

Here’s the lines I’ve found on the game

Northwestern Wildcats +8.5 (-110), Over 42.5 (-110), +280 (Money line)

Iowa Hawkeyes -8.5 (-110), Under 42.5 (-110), -340 (Money line)

However, I don’t think it’s going to be very easy running our standard 9-page playbook (that would be … 9 plays? …) against these boys with our rook at QB who just got benched because he didn’t hear the coach yelling to him “never mind, never mind, kill the clock” just after the other coach burned timeouts to get the ball back and try to score. Just my $0.02.

It has been a few years since we had a QB with confidence out there. Even Drew squeezed the air out of the ball year 3.

Uh … did anyone note what they’re doing with that defense and all the stuff (blitz, stunt) they’re doing in their opponents’ backfields?

If we pound NW, I’ll be thrilled, because it means we’ll win 9. I don’t see a pounding here. Do you?

I know. Let’s ask Sally Mason. What say, Sally? What’s the answer? Do we win by 3, or 30?

Don’t get me wrong, I wish you guys the best tomorrow. However, losing to Dave Wannstedt simply cannot be followed by bitching about not being favored by enough points to anyone. Even against Northwestern. Or Northeastern.

I look forward to your AD’s eventual press release about JC6’s fifteen touchdown passes tomorrow, though.
