If we win today i do not care if we are ranked or not, a win over a good Iowa team on the road is reward enough
I think keys will be
1) Poor weather, will even things up
2) Win kicking/punting
3) Avoid mental mistakes/penalties
4) Bring intensity
Do these things and we have a shot

Doesn’t look particularly cold in IC but regardless, unfortunately, this wouldn’t even anything up for us. Outside of a high propensity to settle for FGs, Iowa does nothing predicted upon weather conditions.
To win today: Peters' arm and accuracy.
Are you kidding me?
This kid has been throwing passes all season that recent O&B QBs haven't come close to doing for us.
Rod Smith has been instrumental at giving Peters the green light this season.
And of course, BheBhe has been hauling them in.

Not specifically Illini related but, illustrating the importance of turnovers.
I witnessed a high school playoff game last weekend where a team entered the 4th quarter down 16-7. They didn’t have single offensive snap in the 4th quarter but, scored 2 td’s. Both long fumble returns. They won 19-16.
Unfortunately my team was on the wrong end of that one.

So sorry to hear that.
That was my experience watching the Bob Blackmon years as coach in the mid 70s. Seemed like we were just about to break through and then some inexplicable thing happened and we lost the game. Very frustating indeed.
I want to see Peters pick apart a defense. If he does that, Illini win this thing straight up by jumping to a lead and then sitting on it. Just like Ferentze hopes to.
Let's see if Rod and Peters are up to the challenge. Rod said something clicked with Brandon late at MSU, so there's a chance they're 'in the zone'. That's what I'm hoping to see, because how fun would that be?!
