** 2019 Opponent Previews : Iowa (Game 12) **

I enjoy reading opposing fans' perspectives, and this one made me laugh.

Particularly the line:

Generally, Iowa has done a decent job of limiting mobile quarterbacks this season.


They've played one running QB, from Middle Tennessee State. You can argue Clifford from Penn State and Purdy from ISU, but Clifford's 52 yards against Iowa are 3 off his season high. And Purdy can run a bit, but he also has games of -15, -11, 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9 yards rushing. And they gave up 76 yards to Illinois' QB, although some of that is because you don't expect him to run. In any case, they have not seen a decent running QB yet this year - hopefully that's an edge for us.

 
Damn the HuskerOnline guys are dorks. They both used the word "juice" like 5 times in their Friday Forecast video, and I'm willing to bet they never used it before Frost got here.
