Two stout defenses. PSU offense should be servicible. Iowa offense is putrid. That will be the difference in the game. Iowa won't be able to overcome their offensive ineptitude.
Baby boy Brian probably has one more chance to improve the offense with Barta stepping away August 1st. McNamara will stabilize QB, but he doesn't have the Michigan OL blocking for him. Nor the Michigan stable of RBs and WRs at his disposal.
The defense is in total rebuild mode. 3 returning starters by my count. Parker always has them steady and stout, but is this unit ready to carry the team?
