From the article: Remember, Iowa ranked 132nd in scoring offense with just 15.4 points per game in 2024. The Hawkeyes haven't ranked better than 117th in total offense in each of the last five years and haven’t seen a 300-yard passer since 2019. This author seems to be a year behind. Didn't...

100% agree on Patterson. I think he looks better than Washington in game time. X. Williams certainly looks the part. I would like to see a rotation of Patterson and Williams with Washington in on third downs for his pass receiving.

IMO this will be a deciding factor in the game. Can we stop them on third and long? Can we limit big pass plays? A side note but related, can we get some sacks/hits on Becht and make him uncomfortable? The defensive side isn't being talked about a lot but it should be. I'm not sold on the...

According to Chad Leistikow of the DM Register, there was apparently some discussion before the injury to redshirt him this season since there are four Sr. WRs. Three other WRs have already redshirted. Would save a year of eligibility and he could still play up to four games this season. With...

38-3. Offense will be decent but leave a lot to improve on. The defense will dominate a weak O-Line for Albany and should have little trouble. But we won't learn a ton from this game.

Unless they've reached an agreement, there was a story yesterday about Fox and YouTubeTV. The contract is up for renewal and they may or may not have an agreement in time for football season. It affects all of the Fox channels, news, sports, etc. Based on the schedule it could affect the...

Phillips is undersized at 5'7" but the two other starting WRs are 6'0". And don't be surprised if Reece Vander Zee (6'4") is on the field a lot and especially in crunch time/red zone situations. I'm more concerned in our WRs production than their size at this point. Phillips had a lot of...

Keys to the game will be to run the ball and stop the run on defense. As always. Oh, and win the turnover battle and don't give up big plays (like last year).

Didn't realize he still had eligibility. Good for him.

I was aware that they had never won a NCAA Tournament game but not that they were the last school to hold that distinction!

So you're saying there's a chance? ;)

I have a lot of faith in PP but the secondary did not perform well last year as a group. Too many big plays, especially early in the season (see Iowa State game). I certainly hope the cornerbacks are ready to raise their level of play but for me, I am going to have to see it. From what I...

The ISU game is crucial to how the year goes. My biggest fear is that with it being the second game, the offense won't have hit its stride yet. I think the offense takes some meaningful leaps forward this year. The question is going to be how quickly will it come together?

He will most likely end up going to the highest bidder. Which he should.

You never know if he'll be there for four years in the current environment. I wish the kid the best but you never know if he might be available down the line.
