Anyone who feels extremely confident about Saturday is blowing smoke or puffing their chest. We’re a very slight favorite. The first three games have shown us that our margin for error is slim. Until
I see us handily beat a decent team, I’m not going to be feeing particularly confident about anything.

      - Iowa is likely as good as most of their non-playoff level teams. Michigan should be a playoff caliber team. It is at home. We should win* - By Rich September 23, 2026 at 01:22:05 PM
