wow. im usually a huge fan of throwback/alternative/procombat type UNIs.... but yikes. Someone needs to help Iowa pull this off. These look bad again...
Was hoping for more than grey pants and black tops.
Other than ISU(who is pretty average) Im not sure if any of those teams have a defense, making it hard to judge any real improvement in offense.
A really bad Indiana team just put up some good numbers on MSU, so this could be a week where the Iowa O gets it going again.
Us beating TCU without Pachall had to leave the same feeling that beating Minnesota without their starting QB felt. It was a relief, but thats about it.
But it was on the road against #13 which is why it was a 'nice' win.
The offense is still a huge problem. We barely put up any points...
Bullock, Garmon, and Weisman all seemed to be kids who run really hard and push the pile foward, but nobody that really consistently make guys miss in open space.
Im not surprised at all that Iowa has run the ball well vs a MAC and 1AA team. Your oline is really dominant to that level of...
I think Iowa will play at most 3 top 25 teams this year.
ISU right now is scheduled to play 6.......
Now you see why we often 'finish the season' worse than you.
Baylor - Dump
Mizzou- fairly neat setting, but dump
Nebraska- Really cool stadium... impressive crowd.. might be better than Kinnick No tailgating
Metrodome- Dump
KSU- pretty ok. Nice fan atmosphere
KU-Worst Ive been to.
Northern Illinois- Nevermind, thats the worst.
Colorado- Old stadium, but...
I dont think anyone is any more 'down' on Iowa based off their close win.
Most outsiders see a 7-6 team from last year that lost quite a few guys to the NFL. I dont think it really has much to do with the NIU game.
As far as ISU, nobody really has any idea what to think. We know this is a...
I agree he was quicker than Coker, but didn't think he was exactly lightning in a bottle.
With that said, Iowa's O seems to favor RBs who aren't necessarily super fast but have great vision.
I can remember playing Texas when he was their OC.
It was nauseating how they would throw that bubble screen over and over and over. Mostly because it was really effective. They put you to sleep doing that and then hit their big play superstar WR deep.
I dont know enough about Iowa's...
