Week twelve of the college football season and there are a lot of big time showdowns that will have an impact on the college football playoff.
In this game it’s a huge big time showdown when the Minnesota Gophers make the trip to Kinnick Stadium to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Floyd of Rosedale is on the line in this game.
Minnesota Gophers
The talk heading into last game against the Penn State Nittany Lions was that the Gophers were having a nice season but hadn’t beaten anyone, and that the Gophers were going to be put back in their place against the Nittany Lions.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Gophers ended up winning by five points, but it really wasn’t that close, and they made a point that they are a good team.
For the Gophers it’s all about the offense that is averaging 37.6 points per game. Tanner Morgan isn’t getting talked about a ton but he is a really good quarterback and the wide receivers are elite. Tyler Johnson should be drafted in the first couple of rounds in April, and Rashod Bateman could be a first round pick when he is eligible to go into the draft.
In this game it’s going to be about the offense moving the ball. They are facing a good defense and the offense is going to need to be good.
Iowa Hawkeyes
On the other side of this matchup is the Iowa Hawkeyes who have had a decent season but they are coming off a really disapointing loss. In their last game they were at home against the Wisconsin Badgers and the first three quarters were not good and it led to a loss.

There is no doubt this a really good defensive team but the questions are all with the offense, because at times they really struggle to move the ball.
Over their last five games they haven’t scored more than 26 points which means in this game, they need the defense to be really good. The Gophers love to run the run-pass option and the Hawkeyes need to be ready to try and slow that down.
The one thing that can’t happen in this game for the Hawkeyes is it becomes a shootout. If this becomes a high scoring game there is a very good chance the Hawkeyes will lose this game.

Even off a big win, the Gophers still aren’t getting respect and I think in this game they are going to try and prove that.

The Gophers are going to run up the score, and that will be the difference. Take the points if you want but I will be betting the Gophers on the money line.
