In Todays recap episode some larger looming conversations really start to come to a head as the Big Ten Championship, one the Hawks still have a chance at competing in, is less than 2 weeks away. Would we actually choose to not play in the title game if it means we had to most likely get womped by OSU? Padilla now has almost 3 full games under his belt as the starter, we discuss the WR drops, and his performance and who we would go with at QB moving forward assuming Spencer is back to full health. We break down the Illinois game of course and how the Illini completely switched up the game plan against the Hawkeyes, why they were able to find success on a long first scoring drive, and how we faired with several key defenders out with injury. We talk the Good and the Bad from Special Teams on Saturday. We also talk the emotions of senior day, as we look back and remember what it was like for us to walk the tunnel one final time, and what it's like now to watch guys play their last game.

In Drakes first half of this episode we discuss the lull of Illinois, some opposing locker room and environment details that make a game easier or harder to play, and why Illinois sucks. We talk about kicking our Maryland Illinois and Rutgers from the Big Ten, and we briefly touch on some optics for Saturday and how Iowa should win this game. Most of the breakdown is left to Kevin. We discuss Ohio St and their game against MSU this weekend, we ponder the question, can Nebraska pull off the miracle with no coaches and beat Wisconsin? We discuss Matt Campbells comments from his media this week about his teams goals and if he will eventually sneak out of Ames. We finish with Drakes picks of the week.

In Kevin's half of the podcast we start by discussing porta-pottys at a chili festival, working out, and how Pre-workouts use to have the chemical makeup very close to meth. We get into some deeper Illinois break down and how they have been able to find small success this year, especially defensively over the last month against teams like PSU and Minnesota. We discuss their running attack, how they mix up their looks, and how Iowa will likely defend those looks. I bring up the same Nebraska, and Matt Campbell topics to Kevin to get his thoughts. And Riley Moss doesn't have a PCL which just so happens to be the case for Kevin, he explains how that injury affected him and what Riley will have to do to return to 100%. We finish with Ward's Winners.
