Agree that Iowa just doesn't have the running back talent on the team. Really no one who was even moderately highly recruited.

I think you have the top three and bottom three right. As for the rest, who knows at this point. Iowa will somehow need to find more offense if it's to avoid the fate you have assigned to it.

It was clearly out but only by a foot or so. Bad call on King for sure. One foot shorter on that pass and Pitt is tied with the ball in FG range at the end. Also, it wasn't listed but I wonder about the Cincy/OSU game today. Perhaps Cincy might upset the bucks.

Maryland or Purdue would be the most likely upsets especially against the spread. Iowa has not played a complete four quarter game in all three phases this year and were lucky last week that the Pitt catch in the endzone was barely out of bounds erasing a TD.

It’s one of the many reasons that the Bigten is weak.

Any of those guys have serious interest in Iowa?

Iowa needs to recruit better that’s for sure. It’s hard to do in Iowa.

Matt Rogers and Hartleib were really good as well.

Seriously?

KSU and NDSU are both better than the two teams we have played. Maybe by a lot. Going on the first two weeks neither team is very good right now and Iowa just lost their best player and will be starting two redshirt freshman on the left side. Not sure how we get the run game going this week. I...

Two undersized redshirt freshmen on the left side. I don't know how we are going to run that way and we can't run well right so far.

Well, Iowa did lose to all the teams you mentioned just in the last 12 months. Pitt may be better than Wisconsin on offense as they can actually pass. Their oline in of similar size with some highly recruited kids on it. Be a shame if Iowa and many if the other Bigten teams all lost their power...

Iowa starts a RS freshman on the line as well.

Their passing game will improve greatly when they play against Bigten secondaries.

Just another win for the sec. Not sure that they will drop a noncon game this year. Wisconsin will be ok in the Bigten. It's not like anyone in the west has defensive backs similar to the sec schools so their passing game will open up. Other teams in our league will start to get injured as well...

Great idea. After that’s accomplished we can work on the disabled and the minorities.

That’s what I was about to say. I hope this isn’t what were are about to be looking at. Regarding UNI, I’m a bit more worried about the linebackers in the passing game than the runnning game. If they struggle this week, it will likely be a tell for the season.

Since Iowa is thin at DE that might be good if he moves. Since Iowa is thin at LB, it might be bad. In any case, he might not get a whole lot bigger as he seemed rather mature when he arrived (despite his age). It will be interesting to see if he’s fast enough to play LB for us.

Ya, really reminds me of Bama and FSU....honestly, I don't get what you are talking about

I doi he's remotely close to Wilson on passing ability.
