Rose Bowl Stanford vs. Iowa Picks & Predictions

On the game’s first play from scrimmage, McCaffrey collected a pass over the middle from quarterback Kevin Hogan and turned it into a 75-yard touchdown. His ability to cut and spin out of defenders’ grasps in the open field has drawn comparisons to Reggie Bush. Just like that, the Hawkeyes were down, 7-0, 11 seconds into the game. “We had to become a tight, together team and work through that to earn our goal of a Pac 12 championship and getting to the Rose Bowl”.

The Hawkeyes are the seventh team to receive a Rose Bowl berth because a champion of the Big Ten or what is now the Pac-12 Conference qualified for either the College Football Playoff, or the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game, which was played following the 1998-2013 seasons.

Of course, being too excited on a big state is not good either.

He say his one big concern is the return game of Stanford.

Iowa, which never trailed by more than 14 points in a game until Friday, allowed its first touchdown on an opening drive of any half this season.

Iowa is a solid, solid team.

For Stanford, keep an eye on Devon Cajuste. If Stanford holds Iowa to that mark of 24 points, The Cardinal would have to score 30 for this to go over the total. In his first year as the Stanford starter, the senior tied the school’s all-time scoring record for a kicker with 112 points. Players win awards that should have gone to other players while those other players can only look on. Both went to receiver Tevaun Smith.

After the Hawkeyes punted for the third time on the day and seemingly going nowhere, McCaffrey scored again only to have it called back due to a holding penalty but the play resulted in a 26-yard gain before a facemask penalty on the next play moved the ball to the Iowa 42. And he continually gets more out of players.

Broghamer caught one pass for five yards during the 1982 season; in 1983 he caught 15 passes for 204 yards.

Iowa was picked to finish fourth in the Big Ten Conference’s seven-team West Division in a preseason poll of 40 writers covering the conference conducted by the website Cleveland.com, a regional news, event and communication portal whose major news contributor is The Plain Dealer.

The Heisman Trophy runner-up, whose candidacy was undermined, in part, by the prevalence of night games on Stanford’s schedule, did not disappoint. If good Hogan shows up, Iowa will have its hands full. In the receiving end, Christian McCaffrey and Michael Rector had combined for 1,026 yards and touchdowns.

The Stanford-Northwestern game at Evanston, Illinois began at 11 a.m. Central Daylight Time, 9 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. That means they’re equipped to bottle up McCaffrey. “Just being around him, he’s going to handle it well”.

The Stanford band chose to pay tribute to Farmers Only, the dating website for farmers, and made fun of the farming side of Iowa and the Midwest. Iowa has already won a record 12 games, while Stanford can post its third 12-win season in six years and second under Shaw, who succeeded Jim Harbaugh. In their last two games, the Cardinal gritted out a nail-biter over Notre Dame and then crushed USC 41-22. Expect Hogan to be the difference on January 1.
