Your're probably right. Ask college QBs how much difference it makes between getting 10% of the snaps with the first team on any given week or 90% of the practice snaps. He'll be a different QB in 4 weeks and after getting 2 more games under his belt. Last night they didn't trust him throwing...

Michigan State got absolutely screwed in OT at MN. Throwing a pass on 4th and 3 from outside the 10 yd line, video clearly showed a MN defender literally pulling the Sparty WRs jersey 2 ft away from his body, and the pass in the EZ was incomplete by inches. The back judge saw it clearly and...

With ISU continuing to lose, I don't see us cracking the Top 20, but think we'll be in the Top 25. Our scores compare favorably with Oregon's vs common opponents Indiana, Wisconsin, and Penn St. They did beat Rutgers far worse than we did.

"Alcorn State called, and I think you should listen to what they have to offer."

Exxxxxxxxcellent! I hate early mornings, I love a lubed up Kinnick, and I love finishing under the lights. Go Hawks!

I'm sure that's true. She'll cast a wide net collecting names of possible coaches. But every BTen A.D. has a network of knowledgable contacts across the country -- otherwise they wouldn't be a BTen A.D. -- and today every BTen A.D. has a list of top candidates for head coach of their...

I hope what you think is reality is not the current reality or what becomes reality. I think we're all with ya on that front. I think KF and Beth have mutual respect for each other, but they'll never have a 'buddy-buddy' relationship after she canned his son without consulting him. Theirs...

Week 1: Ole Miss Week 2: Auburn Week 3 -- Mizzou Week 4 -- Georgia Tech Week 5 -- Memphis Week 6 -- Oklahoma Week 7 -- Texas Tech Week 8 -- Texas A & M Week 9 -- Navy Week 10 -- Indiana Don't let me down, Cig!

I think you're right. I've never heard Iowa coaches rave about a Fr QB like they have Heck. (Other than Chuck Long, of course -- yes, I'm that old!) Players are saying Heck is 'surprising' and has the 'it' factor. Lester talked about his quick release and not having the need to have his feet...

Yes, Michigan WOULD be in the BTen championship vs Indiana, and if they lose they'd have 3 losses and be out of the picture. Of the remaining teams that are now 6-2, I agree that Washington has the best shot at running the table.

I suspect KF respects that PJ has built a moderately successful program over a period of time, which Kirk knows is a challenge. But beyond that, he clearly felt animosity toward PJ when he called those timeouts -- I've never seen him do anything remotely similar to that at any other time during...

That block was awesome, and drew 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from the Kinnick stadium crowd when the replay showed on the big screen! Sure, it was against their kicker, but still....TEXTBOOK. It was #32, and oddly enough, that's one of the few #s not listed for a player on this season's Media Guide. So...

Listening to Coach Fleck yesterday morning during his CBS interview, his main point was that Iowa's offense is MUCH harder to defend now because for the first time in a long time, the Hawks have a QB who can run. Fleck and Fry on the same wave length....love it.

If it's cold rain and wind, advantage Ducks. They play in that crap every week.

This. I don't know why they aren't rolling him out more, other than vs good, disciplined defenses (such as Indiana) rollouts don't work because the DEnd doesn't bite. But even sprint-outs one direction and throwing back the other direction would give defenses more to think about than they...
