This season is looking like it might be a special one for Iowa and that's saying something. Kirk Ferentz arrived in Iowa City way back in 1999 and after going 1-10 and 3-9 in his first two seasons, has been a steady, consistent winner. The Hawkeyes opened 2020 with back-to-back losses (by 4 points and one point) but then won SIX in a row, going 5-1 ATS with an average MOV of 21.8 PPG. Iowa earned an 18th bowl bid under Ferentz in 2020 but the Music City Bowl was canceled due to COVID. Iowa has opened 6-0 (3-0 in the Big Ten) and has already defeated three ranked opponents, No. 17 Indiana, No. 9 Iowa State and No. 4 Penn State. The Hawkeyes rallied past the Nittany Lions 23-20 last Saturday, as QB Spencer Petras found Nico Ragaini with a 44-yard touchdown pass with 6:26 remaining. Iowa has won 12 games in a row (10-2 ATS) and has captured NINE straight contests against Big Ten opponents. This past Sunday, the Hawkeyes rose to No. 2 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since being No. 1 back in 1985.

Jeff Brohm became a 'hot' coaching commodity by leading Western Ky to a 30-10 record in three seasons and then moved on to Purdue. The Boilermakers went 6-6 in each of his first two seasons, winning a bowl game the first season (7-6) and losing the following season (6-7). Purdue fell to 4-6 in 2019 and was 2-4 in "The Year of COVID" in 2020. Purdue (3-2, 1-1 in Big Ten) has scored just 13 points in each of its last three games. Two of those contests were losses, including a 20-13 home defeat to Minnesota on Oct 2 in its most recent game. The Boilermakers outgained the Golden Gophers 448-294 but were doomed by mistakes, allowing four sacks and committing two turnovers in the red zone. Purdue also lost 27-13 at Notre Dame on Sep 18.

Iowa QB Petras can be shaky but he's completing 60.7% for 1,138 yards with nine TDs and most importantly, only two INTs. RB Goodson has 518 yards on 4.2 YPC with 5 TDs for a running attack that is pretty mediocre, averaging 123.3 YPG (99th). However, it's Kirk Ferentz's defense that ranks fourth in the nation (and first in the Big Ten) in scoring defense (13.0 PPG) on 274.0 YPG (7th). The team's ability to force turnovers has become a big story, as Iowa leads the nation in turnovers forced (20), interceptions (16) and turnover margin (+15). not a bad trifecta!

Purdue comes to Iowa City and could stick with Aidan O'Connell. He started at QB in place of the inconsistent Jack Plummer and went 33 of 51 for 357 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the loss to Minnesota. However, Plummer has completed 69.5% with seven TDs and no INTs. We'll see. Either way, WR David Bell (six catches for 120 yards) topped 2,000 yards receiving for his career and certainly will be a focus of the Hawkeyes' defensive game plan. Iowa won't be too worried about a Purdue running game that is averaging 90.2 YPG (122nd). What Iowa's offense will have to worry about is a Purdue defense that is allowing 15.4 PPG (8th) on 300.8 YPG (15th)

Iowa is overdue for a "let down" spot and off the Penn St win and facing a rested Purdie team (was off last weekend), this could be the week/game! The Boilermakers hold a 49-39-2 advantage in the series, including THREE wins in the previous four games. The last time Purdue faced the nation's No. 2 team (back on Oct 20, 2018), the Boilermakers scored a resounding 49-20 victory over Ohio State in West Lafayette. OK, Purdue's NOT at home this time around but I'm taking the double digit points!

Good luck...Larry

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SATURDAY, 10/16:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Saturday afternoon was with the Purdue Boilermakers plus the points versus the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa (6-0) remained unbeaten last week with their 23-20 victory against Penn State as a 2.5-point favorite. The Hawkeyes committed one turnover against the Nittany Lions making it the fifth straight game that they did not have more than one giveaway. But Iowa has failed to cover the point spread in 15 of their last 24 games after not committing more than one turnover in four straight games. The Hawkeyes have also failed to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 20 home games when favored by 10.5 to 14 points. Purdue (3-2) has lost two of three after their 20-13 upset loss against Minnesota as a 1.5-point favorite last Saturday. Now they go back on the road where they are 14-5-2 ATS in their last 21 road games against teams with a winning record at home. The Boilermakers have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games as an underdog. Take Purdue plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.
