00:00Iowa-Iowa State, Seahawks battle, always a big deal.
00:03But, man, this is not the spread we're accustomed to in recent years in this game.
00:08This is a 14-point number, and I know a lot of people are on Iowa in this spot.
00:13It's a stay-away game for me.
00:14Curious to watch Kamari Moulton, who got off to a roaring start last week.
00:19I understand it was NIU.
00:20About 11 carries for 183 yards and two touchdowns.
00:23It was very, very impressive,
00:25especially because the Iowa passing game still looked awful.
00:28Like, they were having a quarterback battle inside of this game,
00:32which I don't know, again, if that's, like, disrespectful to the rivalry,
00:37that you're, like, doing a quarterback battle inside of the game,
00:39or it just speaks volumes to how bad the quarterback situation is still for the Hawkeyes.
00:45Is this a game that you're going to be tracking at all here, Dave?
00:48The only interest I have in this game is I'm in a survivor contest
00:52that only involves, you know, big conference games,
00:55and this is a, you know, power conference, this is a power conference,
00:57and I took Iowa, if I ever play, and that's about it.
01:00I have confidence that they're going to win the rivalry game.
01:02I can tell you, Kevin, that I hate that the rivalry games are this early.
01:05Having the Apple Cup last week, having this battle this week,
01:08like, put them at the end of the year.
01:09Like, I get it's not conference games anymore,
01:11but find a spot later in the year for these things instead of wasting it early on.
01:15I like the game, but I'd rather it be later in the season.
01:19The biggest thing for me is Iowa's found an offense.
01:22I mean, obviously, 40 points and 500 yards against NIU.
01:26It's NIU, but Iowa doesn't score 40 points and 500 yards against my kid's 7th grade team.
01:31That just doesn't happen.
01:32They had 34 against Vandy in the bowl last year.
01:35They had 40 at Nebraska the game before the last regular season game.
01:38So you're looking at an Iowa team that has scored 34 or more points
01:42in three consecutive games if you go back to last year.
01:45It's a little scary when you think about it.
01:48I think they take care of business in the rivalry game.
01:50I'm not laying the number.
01:52I'm just taking them as, hey, I got to pick one of these, you know,
01:55power conference games to take in my pool.
01:58So I went with Iowa.
