Reading an Iowa Hawkeyes forum (because why not?) has shown a lot of confidence from their fans regarding the game on Saturday:  

If OSU went all out and pressed this entire game they would win 63-3 or 70-3. The defense is gonna be totally gassed by the third quarter and only the mercy of Ryan Day can save this team.

Ryan Day said he remembers the 17 game as that was his first year on staff. He said it is a scar that doesn’t go away. This is going to be ugly, highly likely the worst loss of the Ferentz era.

 Look, I don't want to be Nervous Nancy over here, but there are variants of The Germ going around that are pretty bad. I think we need to PCR test everyone who has been within 500 feet of anyone on the ball club in the past two weeks and forfeit the game under COVID protocols if even one person in Iowa City currently has The Germ. It's just not safe to play this game.

 MIx it up, leave the punter in on ever series and punt on different downs. Keep OSU guessing and the Iowa offense off the field.

Our punter might be gassed by then from running on and off the field so often. 

 We lose this one 70-0, we will not even sniff a field goal.

 To lose to Iowa is to become Iowa. 

Bless their hearts. Wish we played them more often, Iowa fans are pretty funny.
