After reading into Kirk Ferentz’s praise of Trace McSorley (I cannot spell his name correctly to save my life), I thought for a tick about making him part of the matchup du jour. Then I reviewed the horror of Saquon Barkley’s stats from last year - 20 rushes for 164 yards, 1 44-yard reception, and 2 total TDs - as well as a poor man’s Saquon Barkley’s stats against Iowa from this year: David Montgomery had 113 yards on 20 rushes with another 53 yards on 5 receptions.
So... yeah, Iowa’s gonna need to improve against opponent running backs.
