    Eric Epenesa Joining Hawkeyes

    Late bloomer, but sky's the limit. Looks like he could grow a lot. Limited video shows him playing with aggression and able to make tackles in space. Raw as they come, but if he fills out and coaches up, I would not be surprised to see him make an impact.

    Is this the PERFECT WINDOW to let go of Fran?

    2 problems with letting Fran go: 1. He is owed a ton of money on the contract. 2. At least 3-4 current players would walk with him, and probably all the recruits except the Murrays. The Hakweye basketball future is not bright.

    I have a dumb question

    Nope. On a kickoff, if the kicking team recovers the ball past 10 yards, it is the kicking teams ball. Whereas in punting, once the punter has punted it, it is the receiving team's ball unless it touches a receiving team player.

    Linderbaum vs. Lima ... and the winner is ...

    After today, Linderbaum is special. He's an all-B1G quality center.

    Fantasy Football

    12 team league. 1qb/3wr/2rb/1te/1flex/d/k/6bench. I picked 5th in a snake. Took Hopkins, Gurley, Mahomes in first 3 rounds. Some bastard stole Hockenson from me in round 9. My top end of my roster is great, but bottom end not so much. And I don't have George Kittle in the late rounds this...

    First game surprises

    If he stays 3 more years. He's small for an NFL lineman, but Cs can be a little smaller and succeed. And he has ALL the intangibles. Apparently really smart to learn the 2nd most complicated position in 9 months. Aggressive and nasty. Moves out to the 2nd level well. Can effectively pull...

    The best passing QB tonight

    If your criticisms were on point, they'd hold weight. But you are just repeating a talking point that you know, but had no basis in reality last Saturday. Nate played well. Better than most QBs in the B1G. Save your whining for when it is actually warranted and you will get more traction...

    2 Deeps?

    Yes. And LePaul looked good at RT as well (but I thought others outperformed him at RG).

    2 Deeps?

    Both Schott and Britt looked really good out there. LaPaul and Ince as well. Linderbaum will man the C spot as long as he's a hawk. Obviously a special talent there, and a brilliant move by Kirk to bring him over from DT. Banwart will be in the mix when he gets back, but he's got stiff...

    First game surprises

    I can't name a deeper RB/WR roster in all of Ferentz's tenure. 2004 pre-injuries was closest imo.

    Iowa's Best Position Group is, ummm, WR?

    A look that Iowa used early to get pressure but kind of stuck in their pocket for a rainy day was where they brought Nixon in and he and Eppy ran a stunt. Nixon screamed the qb on a pressure. I bet, as we face better passing teams, we see more of that AJE/Nixon/CG/Amani front.

    First game surprises

    He came in late. Was in there in a 2rb shotgun look with Goodsen and served as a lead blocker. Would be cool to see more of that look, as IKM and Goodson out of the backfield creates mismatches. But yeah, he's apparently been passed by Goodson, won't likely see much action unless a couple...
