Midwest Border Skirmish on Nov 25

22nd November, 2011 - Posted by writer - No Comments

Fans of Iowa and Nebraska Football have been arguing forever about their particular programs. Having won more National Championships and have more National Prominence, Husker Fans have the decided advantage. Due to the fact Nebraska has just became a member of the Big Ten Conference, the rivalry between the Fans and Players will just heat up. Ideally, the powers that be will ensure that Nebraska-Iowa is a yearly occasion.

Even though they have switched to the Shotgun read option, Power Blocking is what Nebraska does greatest and still applies some of these principles in their run-Blocking schemes. Personally, I think that the Cornhuskers made a mistake by joining the Big Ten. Nonetheless, the Big Ten is a Conference of Bruisers, used to lining up mano-a-mano, 3 Yards and a Cloud of Dust. There’s more passing than in the Woody Hayes/Bo Schembechler Days, however the Run continues to be the Calling Card of this Conference; Nebraska would’ve been much greater served going to the PAC 10, where their new sort of Offense is not watched as much.

Iowa is sort of a Jekyll/Hyde sort of Program, it appears that they usually lose to somebody that they shouldn’t, and defeat an opponent that they shouldn’t every year. This year ought to be in Iowa’s favor, due to the fact they’re at Home, and the game is in November. Taylor Martinez can’t hit the Ocean from the beach. All Iowa (Or any Team, other than Ohio State) has to do is put 8 or 9 in the box and dare the Cornhuskers to throw, which they can’t. Furthermore, this positioning gives the Iowa Hawkeyes the extra man/men to remain disciplined, and also to stop the read option, specifically Martinez, who doesn’t like to and honestly cannot pitch to his Tailback. I see Iowa as a 4 1/2 to 5 point favorite, and ought to cover easily, as the Cornhuskers are getting a little bit Cocky these days, even following a loss to Northwestern. Nebraska is not very great on defense either, not a lot of speed, but jumpy. Nebraska will be held on their toes by Screens, Traps Draws, and other kinds of misdirection Plays. I’ll be watching to see if Bo Pelini’s head actually blows off of his Shoulders. Jump all over the Iowa Hawkeyes, as they’ll win downright if the sportsbooks make the Cornhuskers the favorite.
