Returning production
| Iowa | Minnesota | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 34% | 65% |
| Passing | 16% | 97% |
| Rushing | 20% | 1000%* |
| Receiving | 56% | 45% |
* Outside 0–100% on purpose — production is PPA-weighted, so a departing player who cost his team yards pushes the share above 100 and a returning group with negative combined output shows below zero.
The read
- A total of 42.5 sits on the low side of real college football scores (the median FBS game lands on 54). That places the number; it does not predict the result — overs land almost exactly 50% against closing totals.

Line movement
The number hasn't moved. The spread has held at +4.5 and the total at 42.5 across 85 checks between Oct 14 – Oct 16. Most college lines sit still until news moves them — 83% of the games we track haven't budged — so a still number is the normal state, not missing data.
"From" is the first price we recorded, not necessarily the market open — DraftKings publishes no opening number, so we only claim what we saw.
