Title: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: tnflower on December 08, 2014, 02:26:44 EST other than the fact it isn't in the South. Somebody tell me about their team.
Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: VinnieVOL on December 08, 2014, 04:03:14 EST I think we played them in a bowl game in Jersey back in the 80's, returned a fumble 99 yds for a td. :thumbup:

Both were ranked in the Top 20 and the fumble return was the difference. UT won 23-22. Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: Creek Walker on December 08, 2014, 04:16:24 EST Btw, it was Darren Miller who returned the intercepted fumble 99 yards for a score. I can still hear John Ward's voice on that call but, sadly, there doesn't seem to be a YouTube video.

Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: Coupe De VOL on December 08, 2014, 04:39:17 EST We lost to them in the '82 Peach Bowl. I vaguely remember not converting a 4th and short late in the game which killed a go ahead scoring drive.

I can still hear John Ward's voice on that call but, sadly, there doesn't seem to be a YouTube video. The slowest TD in football history. Picked up the ball just before the end of the first quarter and finished midway through the second. Of course he had to run almost the entire distance twice since they changed ends after the horn sounded. :cool: :wink:Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa..

IT was in the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium and it was miserably cold. Iowa jumped out to a big lead and we came back. I think the final score was something like 28 or 29 to 22. Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: Volznut on December 08, 2014, 03:39:18 EST Reading a little about this year's Iowa team, they're not particularly great on either side. Slow big 10 team that has issues with teams that run the zone read (like UT). We will out speed them, but to win we need some guys back healthy.
Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: Clockwork Orange on December 08, 2014, 03:46:47 EST Statistically we rank about 20 spots higher than them both offensively and defensively when adjusted for schedule. They played an exceptionally weak schedule, with their best win being over a 6-6 Pitt team. They did play Wisconsin and Nebraska tight at the end of the year, both at home.
Ken Massey says we are 63% favorites to win. Title: Re: I know nothing about Iowa.. Post by: HerbTarlekVol on December 08, 2014, 03:57:11 EST Well, they do grow some good corn in Iowa and they hold some pretty important caucuses there, too. :naughty:
