iowa's having htese dramatic wins lala in the game andndt was hard not to let that smile ring thorugh as i was reading the highlight packages.were you surprised at all at the historic season that they had? had?"i'd be lying to you zach if i said no. i think there's plenty of analysts out there who follow the game of football closely who think that they can predict things. i feel like i'm right more often than i'm wrong. felt like iowa would have a quality season just t oking functionally at the schedule that they had, hoping they could do something special, but to go 12-and-oh in the regular season and be just a hair shy of the college football playoff. i don't know if anyone is being truly honest if they predicted that. i'm gonna have you put your analyst hat on: what's it gonna take for iowa to beat stanford? stanford?"i'd say a matchup that sticks out to m.. there's a lot of positions upfront, on the outside, at the quarterback position where i feel like it's virtually a stalemate between these two teams. the key match-up i'm gonna watch is christian mccaffery -- but not christian mccaffery the runner-- christian mccaffery the receiver out of the backfield,

linebackers quite often to be isolated one on one with slot receivers and with running backs. mccaffery plays both those positions and that's where stanford utilizes him quite a bit. iowa's had a couple of weeks to prepare for that . i think it's gonna be huuuge for this game." game." on gameday you gonna have any black and gold attire? atatre?" i made that the suit that i'm gonna have on for our pregame and postgame that shows on the pac-12 network will be neutral colors for either team but underneathh there will liekly be some tigerhawks and black and gold going." going."iowa fans will love that. he'snthony herron, former hawkeye, current pac-12 analyst. we'll send it back to you in the studio! thanks zach and don't forget to keep it here on cbs 2, as the road tthe roses prevw show from pasadena takes center stage at 6:30 -- you can also catch it tomorrow morning on our sister station fox 28. the iowa women's basketball team kicking off big ten play in a big way this afternoon, defeating nebraska 7 768... the hahas now 11-and-2 on the year and host former iowa
