I'm very interested to see if the rivalry game energy from last year's finale is still there.
IMO we actually started out with some fight against Nebraska on D, were beaten down by bad calls/bounces/luck and fizzled. Our O never got it going, but iowa's D is not great. A strong first quarter and a close halftime score would embolden our beaten down gophers to possibly fight through and like you say a few bounces can go a long way. Ask Marcus Coker.
