    Unranked in the AP Poll

    Win the next 2, show continued basic competence on offense, and we'll be top 20 at 10-2. Be reasonably competitive in Indy vs. Likely a #1 team... could go up a spot or 2. Just win next 2.

    Rated or not?

    I'd kinda like to stay unranked, say 26-27, until we beat minny, ideally convincingly, with a little more offense. Then jump to 22-23... with a bye week to enjoy. Get some healing, and work on things. Beat minny. Go from there. Go Hawks.

    Am I alone here

    Not referring to you Iceman. You are 100% correct the contract may have influenced it. In that situation, with deep backups in, not sure why folks have an issue. The whole last drive, with backups getting meaningful plays and reps, is what these kind of games are for. As far as scoring...

    Am I alone here

    I thought the thread was about the last few minutes of the game, when our 2nd, 3rd string was in and getting reps. scored 10 points in the 4th qtr, a fg and a 1 yard run by a 5th string walkon. The outrage is a bit overstated imo.

    Who’s taking the snap week one next year?

    I thought Labas did better than avg in the bowl game last year. Hill has looked ok+ in clean up spots so far, with a couple good throws. Lainz is an unknown. And that new kid coming in as well. I don't think we'll know until the first snap is actually taken. Fort Kirk will keep a 3 way...

    Am I alone here

    More aggressive than historically. But reps with all backups, 3rd string TE, and a running play with 5th string walk on rb... not sure that's running it up. Haven't we wanted meaningful reps for backups...since...forever. Does it have a dual benefit for BF, sure. But personally, I want...

    Cade

    The few noticeably bad throws/decisions might have been him just pressing. He was timid on throws and skiddish on decisions. We've seen enough tape on him to believe this can improve. He's still clearly limited on mobility, cutting, and running. Not a ton of reps in Fall. I'd like to see...

    Iowa Coaches Confident in Joe Labas

    With 3 weeks of snaps as qb1, with a sub par oline, I thought Labas movement, progression through reads, quick release, pretty accurate on shorter throws. Missed on a couple longer throws, but had some good touch. Wasn't spectacular, but seemed to make good decisions, avoided pressure and...

    Will BF Be OC Next Spring?

    It's not justified, but I think he'll be OC. 6 years in, basically has done worse every year. Not sure how he can point to "best I can do with what I have"....when he's the one in charge bringing in and developing "what we have". It's unfortunate. With just a below mediocre offense, in...

    Have teams finally figured out Iowa’s once dominate defense???

    4 turnovers, nebby with about 120 yards/17 points taking advantage of a 4th/5th string corner. Not having Dejean, Harris, Roberts can't be overstated. The only slight critical thought is not immediately putting Moss on Palmer who accounts for 75% of their passing attack. 3 turnovers on Iowas...
  14. HawkeyeWalker

    It sucks the big one, but this disappointing home loss, with everything on the line division wise, sums up this sorry season.

    Losing Dejean and 3 really bad turnovers (2 due to terribly schemed, terribly timed naked boots straight into unblocked blitzes, with not having established a run game yet...OC incompetence). The muffed punt was rough as well. Damn painful to lose to nebby, playing like that. Everything that...
