I think a real wildcard in this game is how Hank Brown handles (or not) the pressure and physical pounding he may be in for if our DL continues in its form from the first three game. Because it doesn’t seem like he’s ever dealt with that.

Caveat: Iowa’s OL is likely a good bit better than the ones we’ve faced so far. If they can keep our DEs off of Brown, I worry a bit about the front 7 holding up.
