For me, it's the middle linebacker. Much like Wisky, Iowa will not give up on the run. Fred Russell is 2nd in the Big Ten in rushing. They'll keep pounding away at us. I doubt OSU will play much nickle.
Pagac hardly played against Wisky, and D'Andrea wasn't in all that much either. It was Reynolds that was playing MIKE for a good amount of plays. It's pretty clear how much confidence the staff has in Pagac and MDA at this point. Neither is getting the job done. Without Reynolds, our LBers are fairly thin. I doubt we see Bond or Matthews subbing for Carpenter or Hawk. I'm worried about having Pagac & D'Andrea in the middle the entire game.
