Here's what likely happened (based on everything I've read): JoePa gets news from Grad Asst. Basically wants nothing to do with such a mess, probably thinking to himself, "what did that dumb SOB do now? why was he even on our property? friggin' dummy...". Then he calls AD / Pres and tells...

Can't believe the catches they're making!

. When we talk about how good kf is as a coach, often times the discussion is of he and the staff in general. However, kf is really a tough guy to grade as a coach. Consider... 1. Recruiting... Generally we rank in the middle of the big ten and 30 to 40th in the country. We are usually...

Who on this team will run straight ahead with speed? Geez

Holy cow... this Dline can't get any real penetration! WTF?

"He's got all kinds of time!" (announcers speaking of ISU's QB) Dline getting no penetration. Vandenberg is not on his game. Need a speed back to change up the pace. Coker is playing right into ISUs hands right now.

Need speed back canzeri for change of pace.

Absolutely agree 100%. These days, "saving" players for later rarely makes sense. Iowa needs Canzeri to play now. He should be #2.

Our offensive line struggles here and there, but they were pretty solid this year. The rushing stat is simply a lack of speed at the RB position - nothing more.

Yeah... that's the funny thing. Last year, he didn't gain more per carry than Arob, but BW had more explosive runs. I know to some this means that they're equal, but the truth is that the lack of a RB with real speed really hurt us this year. That's the kind of talent that makes this team 11-1...

I would like to see us get top 5 to top 10 RBs in recruiting to be honest, but Coker is better than Arob, yes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE everything about ARob other than his lack of speed. He's a workhorse, blocks well, doesn't go down easily.... every coach's dream. He just doesn't have the...

Speed at RB is the #1 thing this team needs IMO... having a guy that can get to the corner and gain 4 yards on a run that ARob would get -1 to +1.

The Good... Ferentz has put a winning team on the field yet again. This team is 7-4 and lost its 4 games by a total of 15 points or whatever. His kids don't get blown out and they're prepared. Purdue is 4-7 KU is 3-8 TEXAS is 5-6 Tennessee and Georgia are both 5-6 There are programs (the...

I totally agree with 1, 3 and 4. #2 is an over-the-top exaggeration. If the staff were that bad, they would have lost a lot more games to date. As an alumnus and die-hard hawkeye, these past few weeks have been about as frustrating as any I can remember since going to school in the late 80s...

I don't know.... at the end of the day, IA doesn't have the talent to blow teams out, and eventually that catches up with you. ARob is NOT a top-tier D1 running back. He has the heart and determination, but is too slow. That's just one example.

Against OSU, the Hawks will have lost 2 or 3 games by then, and all the pressure will be off. OSU may still be undefeated. The Hawks WILL win that game!

The last 7 look tougher now than they did at the beginning of the season. At MN seems like a lock, but the Hawks could very realistically win or lose any of the other 6 games. IN and NW both have strong offenses, both of which have given the Hawks fits lately. Mich is very good...

what was his average per carry? what did he do against OSU, Michigan, PSU, etc.?

Like IA's performance, but it's clear Arob is too slow for a top 10 team, which IA could be. He's fine against weaker teams, as the holes are a lot bigger and he has more time. Against AZ, and a lot of the Big 10, he's too slow.
