Yet again, the Iowa secondary gets to see the Indiana Hoosiers, their spread offense, and receiver James Hardy - the first man over 8 feet tall to play FBS college football.
Your quiz...
1. James Hardy will catch 15 passes on Saturday. T/F
2. Iowa will have their duo of linebacking Mikes covering James Hardy often this weekend. T/F
3. Has Norm Parker and the rest of the staff figured out how to shut down the lowly Hoosiers?
A. Yes, RHS! Norm is a genius! Iowa's front seven is amazing!
B. No, RHS. You've seen how the spread offense gives Iowa fits despite the number of programs running it now.
C. Shoot the hostage.
4. Is it possible for James Hardy to catch 5 touchdown passes and still see his team lose the game? Explain your answer. Cite examples.
5. Over/Under on season ending injuries this weekend: 2 1/2. Take one. Put money where mouth is, if necessary.
6. Explain the nickel and dime defensive sets. Use illustrations if necessary.
We'll see if any of you pass the quiz. The best answer to #6 will have the honor of knowing more about such a defensive scheme than Iowa's entire defensive coaching staff.
I was about to type "If Iowa doesn't come out fired up and pound Indiana..." but why? We know they won't. They should win, but it'll be ugly and close.

I think we're all a little dumber for having read that.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
