Why run that against Arkansas State unless they're setting up future opponents? The next time McNutt gets the ball on a reverse you might see the opposing defense falling back into coverage instead of rushing up to tackle him. I like Iowa's chances any time they have a back rush for 100 yards. But I think the bigger factor in this -- or almost any -- game is turnovers. If the Hawks don't give Michigan any easy touchdowns, they win. The play that caught my eye was the reverse pass with ex-quarterback Marvin McNutt throwing the ball.

For example, the deep pass play which has not really been a factor in the first four games. Not sure how Bulaga really did - is he ready for Michigan? Prediction - if one of our tailbacks gains over 100 yards vs Michigan, the Hawks will win. Thoughts?
