McDaniels will probably be a OC in NFL somewhere. Can't see the step down from NFL head coach to college OC. But, it is nice to dream about him coming to Iowa.

The sad part is, we have to wait two more months for Brian F. to go...
Ferentz and McDaniel good friends.
A couple/three years OC, then HC

Iowa's game at Northwestern on Saturday at Chicago's Wrigley Field suddenly has more intrigue in the Big Ten West race than perhaps originally expected.



The Hawkeyes (6-2, 3-2) were off last week and have had a couple of weeks to stew over their second loss of the season, a 12-10 defeat at home to Minnesota on Oct. 21.



Iowa amassed just 127 yards of total offense and 11 yards rushing, although offensive ineptitude is nothing new for a team that has just 71 points in its last five games.



Unlike in other games, the Hawkeyes' defense and special teams couldn't overcome the offensive struggles against Minnesota, and Iowa now finds itself in a four-way tie atop the West.



On Monday, it was announced that maligned offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of head coach Kirk Ferentz, would not return in 2024, although he will finish the 2023 season.



Kirk Ferentz didn't delve much into that situation at his weekly press conference, saying his focus is on the final four games of the regular season.



"They are showing improvement week to week," he said of Northwestern. "I think they are gaining momentum and playing with good confidence."



Northwestern (4-4, 2-3) trails the four-team pack by one game in the West. The Wildcats are coming off a 33-27 win at home last Saturday against Maryland thanks in large part to quarterback Brendan Sullivan.



Making just his third start, Sullivan passed for 265 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 56 yards to lead the Wildcats.



Northwestern interim coach David Braun said Sullivan will have to be extra careful to avoid turnovers against a stout Iowa defense.



"We'll all be challenged in so many ways," Braun said. "This defense is a model for consistency. It's impressive."



The over/under for the game opened at 29.5, which is the lowest in college football history.

CIRCA hit 4 for about 90 seconds and then bounced back quickly to 5

Game basically a solid 5 currently across the board.

cool, so u have a, what, 1 pt adv? :+clueless

This can be said about any game, any sport.
its not unusual to see a 1pt move in foots ... :+clueless

The oddsmakers have absolutely no respect for Iowa’s ability to score, and for good reason.

The Hawkeyes play the Northwestern Wildcats at home this upcoming Saturday, and prepare for some ugly football.

In fact, oddsmakers expect the game to be so ugly that the over/under is a historic low. The over/under line at Circa opened at 29.5 for the Big Ten game.

That’s a record low for an opening over/under line in the modern era, according to The Athletic. It’s somehow even lower than the 31-point over/under that opened prior to Iowa losing to Minnesota.


Thx for bringing this to my attention.

Will auto play OVER off principle alone.

i'm sure @KVB will agree. :popcorn:

PS: Fishy, i simply dont trust u. nothing to do with the name. ok, maybe. :lmao:
