Yep, I hear that argument a lot. And yes, the defenses in the Big 10 are far more talented than the FCS level. That said, the offensive players supporting him are also an upgrade. He has at least three future NFL lineman playing in front of him, and the skill players are assuredly better than...

Some things cannot be taught. Being a violent and freakish athlete are right up there. I suspect he could be a third down specialist like his brother was as a true frosh.

CB is most concerning. We don't have a lot of proven depth at that position and that position was not exactly dominant last season.

Some turd internet "reporter" made up a list of the top "Tight End U" for NFL, and left off Iowa. Some speculate that he did so on purpose to piss people off Iowa fans and raise his profile. So in short, some meaningless person offered his irrelevant thoughts on a non-existent thing and a...

And its funny that no one has really mentioned Little Eppy much. I am hoping that much like his older brother as a true frosh, he is too good to be kept off the field.

The internet is much more excited about Gron's performance on Saturday than it seems you are. The hype train is already well down the track. And, given that the kid threw for over 10,000 yards in basically 3 seasons, and lead his team to a couple natties, I suspect his SDSU tape is a bit more...

KF has turtled the last few season back to his natural risk adverse ways. Kirk 2.0 or New Kirk or whatever has come and gone. With his dopey son at the helm of a terrible offense, he was resigned to winning games 10-9 by letting the other team beat themselves. With a veteran O and special...

Miami is a good option, as Tua (when upright) throws a good and accurate short ball. He won't get a huge TEdeal, but I bet he gets two years and some decent guaranteed money. He is a proven NFL TE who is reasonably productive and has some upside. I could see him getting multiple offers. I...

I like bowl games and prefer that the playoffs not be expanded that far. That would be 17 games for the two teams in the nattie. Personally, what has made college football so unique is that the regular season is so important that every game is practically a must win. If you expand the...

Certainly part of the Shanahan offense is using the short passing game as an extension of the run. Lester was wise to not go all in last year with a true Shanahan offense given the downhill power runner he had at RB and an OL that was schooled in power zone blocking. He kept it simple...

Of course it would be KF so we could talk Iowa and I could meet the legend. But, I think the question is just a personality thing, not team specific. Even so, KF would be high on my list. He is a real dude. I would go with Dan Lanning from Oregon with Coach Cig and Indiana a close second...

At this point last year we could accurately state that the offense has nowhere to go but up. We can't say that this year. Lester exceeded my expectations for his first season at the helm, installing an NFL offense, and playing to his strengths. Despite having almost zero playmaking ability at...

Would 10-2 with losses to Penn State and Oregon get us in? Probably no signature win, but a lot of good wins with that schedule. 10 wins was good enough for Tennessee to sneak in.

It means he will probably hire his dopey kid to be his assistant coach and put him in charge of offense, and then Iowa will finish 5th in the conference every year winning games 46-43, and always just be on the cusp of national relevancy but not quite.

I hear you, but this is part of the reason that people hang him with mental/attitude/effort shit. BF is an all-time bad OC, without a doubt. But, he wasn't actively trying to lose. If you have a talented kid who is not applying himself in practice and games 100%, a lot of coaches keep guys...
