Dunh, dunh, dunh.

It’s hard to pick against Iowa’s scrimmage play. Both sides of the ball. That said, I’m not sure Iowa State’s defense isn’t the best unit headed into this. Can Iowa contain Brock Purdy and limit the RPO damage? Can Iowa State hold Iowa to less than 3.5 yards a carry?

Everyone, have fun. This is great for our state.
