IOWA STATE at IOWA
Marc Morehouse (2-1) — I expect this evening to keep an entire shift at the Busch Light factory employed for a year. Iowa 41, ISU 24
Mike Hlas (1-2) — This is the ultimate game. Without it, we are all nothing. Iowa 34, ISU 17
Jeremiah Davis (1-2) — On paper this shouldn’t be close. But what’s on paper in this game has mattered about as much as me fighting redhead jokes. Iowa 24, ISU 20
Beth Malicki (1-2) — The drama that went into renewing the Iowa vs. Iowa State game in 1977 could inspire a mini-series. Iowa 31, ISU 17
Zach Hanley (2-1) — $4.5 million a year for Ferentz and 4.5 million rushing yards for the Hawks. Iowa 31, ISU 17.
Todd Brommelkamp (1-2) — You can say this game is (Insert team)’s Super Bowl all you want but until Telemundo sends someone dressed like a rodeo clown to the game it’s just another day at work for Kirk Ferentz and Matt Campbell. Iowa 37, ISU 9
PENN STATE AT PITT
Morehouse — OK, Coors Light, too. Iowans love variety. Penn State 24, Pitt 21

Hlas — Pittsburgh has a light rail system. Big deal. Cedar Rapids has 14 Subways. The Sub of the Day is Black Forest Ham. Penn State 20, Pitt 17
Davis — I think I’m the only one doing Pick ’Ems who wasn’t alive when Dan Marino was at Pitt. Ditto for when Pitt had the script logo. One is back, the other isn’t. Penn State 20, Pitt 17
Malicki — The Penn State mascot, the Nittany Lion, is based on a cougar that likely has been extinct since the 1930s. I love facts! Pitt 27, Penn State 24
Hanley — A Pat Narduzzi defensive scheme plus a James Connor rushing attack equals a PA rivalry win. Pitt 17, Penn State 14
Brommelkamp — There’s something to be said about an institution as tone deaf as the one in State College. That something can’t be printed here. Pitt 27, Penn State 17
COE AT CORNELL
Morehouse — All right, all right, I didn’t forget about Bud Light. And Miller Light. And Ultra the beer, not the plane. OK, maybe the plane gets consumed, too. Coe 34, Cornell 17
Hlas — Cornell hasn’t beaten Coe since 1999. They say two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time. Cornell wears purple. RIP Prince. Coe 50, Cornell 30
Davis — The last time Cornell won this rivalry game, I was almost 10 years old, and Marc had barely started at The Gazette. It’s been a while. It’ll be longer. Coe 28, Cornell 14.

Malicki — Students at Coe live on campus all four years. Cornell students focus on one course at a time. Prepping for these picks might lead me to find a college for one of my offspring. Coe 34, Cornell 21
Hanley — New Staker, same Kohawk streak. Coe makes it 17 straight in the rivalry. Coe 42, Cornell 14
Brommelkamp — If I don’t pick my pal Mark Dukes’ Kohawks to win this one he may never speak to me again. Cornell 27, Coe 26
