Arizona game - What will happen

When Arizona has the ball:  Look for Arizona to attack the Iowa defense on the edges, they will try to use their speed to get their running backs to the edge and avoid the massive Iowa front 7.  Look for mis-direction plays and zone-read plays to try and slow down the Iowa defense.  The passing games will be quick passes to the outside including screens trying to get their talented receivers in the open against Iowa's base defense.  Iowa's defense will have to show that they can stop the run and force Arizona into third and long situations, where they can bring some pressure to help the defensive backs.  Iowa will be helped by the fact that Arizona's offense is very similar to the opponent last week in Iowa State.   

When Iowa has the ball:  Iowa is by far the best offense that Arizona has seen this season.  In both games, Arizona has grabbed the lead and enforced their will on the opposing offense.  Iowa will start out by running the ball and getting the Wildcat safeties to creep up into the box and then hit them with a deep play action pass.  Don't expect to see much play-action bootlegs in this game from Iowa, Arizona's defense is very athletic and able to recover on that type of pass.  Instead look for play action drop back passes to the tight ends against Arizona's new linebackers.

What will happen:  A lot has been said about the start time Kirk Ferentz will have learned from the last time Iowa was in the state and have the team ready to go.  Remember that Iowa went to Happy Valley and The Horseshoe last year and weren't fazed by 100,000+ fan stadiums.  Iowa will undoubtedly take the ball to start the game and look for them to move it a little bit, but ultimately stall out.  Donahue will be a weapon, pinning Arizona deep in their own zone.  The game will go back and forth for the first half, before Iowa strings a couple of drives together to go up 14-3 at halftime.  In the second half Iowa's offensive and defensive line will take control and dominate the second half.
