I'll have to try that

I got the EA sports college football 26 game to play on my kids PS5. Ostrenga was basically the only passing option that worked for me when I played as Iowa. I tried throwing to Gill or Wetjen, but it rarely worked. I think Iowa's passing game Is screwed.

Well, if the guy that has chosen #1DieHardHawkfan for his username, is feeling deflated, that's a bad sign.

Just to clarify Kirk overall (Iowa + Maine) is 217-146 (.597) Kirk overall at Iowa is 205-125 (.621) Kirk in Big Ten conference games only is 128-88 (.592)

Gronowski should just become the red zone QB like Brendan Sullivan was last year.

To be fair, the Iowa offense used a lot of clock, especially starting mid-way in 2Q. The offense just did not score a lot of points. So the iowa st offense, really had what, 4 drives total from mid-2Q to the end of the game, or after they scored 13 points? I give the Iowa defense credit...

Yup, I agree. Although I predict Williams will eventually be starting it will still be RB by committee. With #1 getting 12 to 20 carries, #2 getting 8 to 15 carries, and #3 getting 5 to 10 carries.

Anyway i predict Iowa will upset the Cyclones in Ames by 10 points. Mark Gronowski's passing will improve dramatically and Iowa will put together a couple of first half scoring drives. The Iowa defense will struggle early but will lock it down in the 2nd half as Iowa's running game takes...

Am I the only Iowa fan that was not aware that the annual Cy-Hawk game is now commonly referred to as "El Assico" Origin of the Name El Clásico: The term "El Assico" is a play on the name "El Clásico," which refers to the iconic rivalry between two Spanish football clubs, Real Madrid and FC...

Unless he gets hurt, I predict Xavier Williams will be starting by October.

I guess i will take your word for it. $35M stadium revenue for each Iowa home game still seems outrageous to me. I have never once seen that number before. But if its true, I guess that explains why Iowa is so reluctant to give up the 7th home game each season.

Ok, I want to pick at these key points starting with stadium and ticket revenue. This statement suggests Iowa makes $35M from home football games. This works out to: $35,000,000 / 70,000 ticket holders = $500 per ticket holder. Ok, what is that based on? It can't just be based on ticket...

This is such an odd stat. It's not the record for Big Ten conference wins. It's also not the most all time wins for a coach that once coached for a school that is now in the Big Ten. Kirk is right to downplay this.

For a couple years after he left Iowa, it was the best of both worlds. Tom Davis coaching George Ravelings recruits. In today's world, all of Raveling's recruits would have followed him to USC, then they still woild have to play a Big Ten schedule.

This is really weird considering he was a multi-year starter and reward winner at SDSU, winning championships even, and had played at Kininick before when SDSU played in Iowa City, and he had beaten Albany before in the FCS playoffs. Yet he was obviously nervous.
