We have a bit of a lop-sited game in the Blue Raiders against the Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday afternoon.
One of these teams is playing against an in-state rival game being Iowa and Iowa St. with the Hawkeyes coming on top in a one point victory. On the other side we have a Blue Raiders team that needs a lot of work coming off a loss.
Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
Middle Tennessee is coming off a great 2108 year finishing 8-6 overall and being 7-1 in Conference winning the Conference USA. This year looks a bit different unless they can turn things around this week.

They saw themselves down 28-3 to Duke early in the 2nd and it looked as if it was going to be the same old story for the Blue Raiders. However, the script was quickly flipped as the Blue Raiders outscored Duke in the second half 15-10 but still ended up losing the game 41-18.
Even though they lost the game. They showed some case of urgency and not giving up. If not coming out flat in the first quarter this game could have been a lot closer. We could have had an upset on our hands. They will need to play a complete game in order to take down the Hawkeyes in the matchup.
Now, they’ll look to pull off their first upset of the season and they’ll really need to play a complete, clean game in this one.
Look to RB Asher O’hara, who carried the load in game 3. O’hara got himself going early as he finished with 67yards. Oh and did I mention he is the starting QB as well. He is their total offense.

He is the spark to this offense as he they go when he goes.
Iowa Hawkeyes
Iowa has always been known to just wear teams out.
That was the case in Week 1 as they took it to Miami OH 38-14. While bettors were frustrated with them not covering the -25, Iowa still really dominated the game in all facets.
The Hawkeyes ran a much more balanced attack as they threw for 252 yards while rushing for 213. Iowa is working to keep that trend here as the pass game really opens up the run game.
Iowa had 7 different players have at least 1 rushing attempt as their is certainly their plans moving forward.
They have a lot of playmakers and want to get touches in for these guys. Mekhi Sargent led the way with 91 yards on the ground and also had 65 receiving through the air.
The Hawkeyes come in just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Big 10 Conference matchups.

Iowa is a team that rarely blows opponents out.
Look for them to have their success on the offensive side, but really help chew this clock. Iowa should roll past this Blue Raiders team.

Even though this is a lot of points to law for the Hawkeyes I cant see the Blue Raiders scoring passed 10 points against this defense. Middle Tennessee is a one man army and if they can stop him early they will be in trouble
