Pyromania1983	18	A team whose offense doesn't always look very pretty, Iowa put up 40 points on an NIU team that recently in the past few years beat Notre Dame (though this year's NIU is SO MUCH worse). We'll have to see how Iowa looks once B1G play starts -- things could get very ugly (not necessarily record-wise but just the style of football being played). For now, the team look like they will win some games to start the year.
