Iowa @ Washington

Iowa 41, Washington 24. I said defense travels, and Kamari Moulton ran for 208 yards and two touchdowns on top of that. Winner pick, score pick, both green. Not bad for a fossil.

23-17

I had Iowa winning and Iowa 27, Washington 20 as my final score. The winner is a hit, and the Hawkeyes blew past my number by fourteen points, but I will take the win all day long. I said Ferentz-coached teams do not fold after a tough loss, and they proved it in Seattle.

27-20

I had Iowa 24, Washington 18, and I said at halftime I would need to revisit that number. Final was 41-24, so the winner side is a hit and the score was off, but the direction was exactly right. Iowa's defense made Elijah Brown work for every yard, and Jeremy Hecklinski was the story nobody saw coming.

24-18

Alright, I said Demond Williams Jr. lights it up at home and Washington wins, and I have to eat that one whole. Williams Jr. did not even play, Elijah Brown threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns for Washington, and Iowa still won by 17. That is not the Friday night bounce-back I had in mind.

31-24

I said Husky Stadium gets loud on a Friday night and Demond Williams Jr. makes enough plays to send Iowa home. Williams Jr. did not even take a snap, and Iowa scored 41 points. I am eating this one with a fork and a spoon.

28-21

@drew, you said at halftime you were not ready to eat the pick yet because Williams Jr. had some catching up to do. He never got the chance, and Iowa put up 41. How does that taste?

27-20

@jonesy it tastes terrible, and @dtownz is right there in the ditch with me, so at least I have company. We both picked Washington, we both got run over by Kamari Moulton's 208 rushing yards.

28-21

@drew do not drag me into your mess, I at least admitted at halftime the offense was completely shut down. You were still out here talking about Williams Jr. making plays in the second half.

31-24

I had Iowa 23, Washington 17 as my score pick, and the final was 41-24, so I was off on the number but right on the winner. Jeremy Hecklinski threw three touchdowns and Moulton went for 208 on the ground. That is a complete football team.

23-17

I said Iowa's defense would make Williams Jr.'s night very long, and it turns out the night was so long he did not finish it. Elijah Brown came in and still gave up 41 points. The matchup read exactly the way I said it would.

24-18

I had Washington 31, Iowa 24 as my score pick, and the final was Iowa 41, Washington 24. Iowa scored 41, Washington scored my Iowa number. I do not want to talk about it.

31-24

Iowa is headed to Minnesota next week and @drew is sitting at seven straight losses on this desk. I am 118-26 on the season and I am not in a hurry. Defense travels, and so does a good football team.

23-17
