per Black Heart Gold Pants:
Why should Iowa be worried?
From a pure talent standpoint, I’m not sure Minnesota is that much worse than Iowa — if at all. Add in the energy and confidence that new head coach P.J. Fleck brings to the table, and you’re looking at a team that will be fired up each and every week -- regardless of the opponent. Additionally, that experienced offensive line and solid running back tandem should be cause for concern, as Fleck had his Western Michigan squad peeling off over 228 yards per game on the ground. He knows how to run the ball, and he’ll have the horses to do it an an elite level.
Why should Iowa not be worried?
Just like the Hawkeyes, the Gophers are working in a new starting quarterback without any obvious, dependable receiving targets. When the Hawkeyes have the ball, they’ll face a linebacking corps and secondary with plenty of question marks and not much experience.
Key player for Minnesota
Steven Richardson — His ability to penetrate into the backfield, force Iowa’s rushing attack outside and allow his linebackers to use the sidelines as a 12th defender will be key. He’ll also need consistent pocket penetration on obvious passing downs.
