    Brandon Scherff: Another Hawkeye Outland Trophy Winner

    You really believe this was sherff's fault?? I agree he struggles in some pass pro areas but he destroyed opponents in the run game. Iowa's problem is relying on a slow fullback that takes ten years to hit the hole... there is a reason everyone else uses an actuall running back, because they are...

    Iowa Nebraska Predictions

    I think the emotional edge really favors Iowa in this one, chance to get to 8 wins for another season, senior day, nebby just got physically owned by two straight teams, their coach is getting fired, they are really banged up including Abdullah, and we played some of our best football all year...

    Willies staying?

    If this is true we will once again have an exciting group of skill talent for next season, if not better if willies actually plays. It remains to be seen if we actually use them, however.

    So, what's the biggest concern? Offense or Defense come Saturday?

    This. I watched the YouTube vid of last yrs game and Iowa was leading 6-0 before a basic Hail Mary touchdown on 3rd and 7 and was still only behind 14-9 with 7 min left in the game and the ball before cjb was picked off. Opportunities will be key.

    Over/Under: Points Iowa Will Have To Score Against Wisky

    This. Iowa dominated field position last year and only got 9 points on 3 field goals in the first half... have to convert those to scores.

    Hawkeyes - Badgers game prediction

    Yeah I have no idea how the game will go actually, I'm just saying wisky is ave 28 ppg in true road games and against fairly poor competition. Didn't realize Rutgers was 6-4 tho that's not too shabby.

    Hawkeyes - Badgers game prediction

    Sorta surprised everyone thinks wisky will put up 40 pts? This is a classic letdown game, wisky is a different team on the road then at home. They scored 37 at a bad Rutgers and barely put up more points than we did against Purdue on the road. So now they score 40+ on Iowa on the road lol? I...

    If you were the OC, what's the gameplan for Saturday?

    We need to establish some sort of running game early bc they took that away from us last year, but I really think we need to be aggressive down the field bc their corners from what I have seen, like to jump routes and take risks especially #8. I actually think tevaun smith can have a big game...

    Next week defense

    My goodness Alston couldn't cover that dude if it was a 300 lb lineman. Just not a good cover man, at least wisky really doesn't throw to its backs at all. To me this game is gonna fall on the shoulders of ruddock. Last year Iowa was up 9-3 and missed I believe 2 or 3 short field opportunities...

    How much of the success of the early Ferentz years (02,03,04) can be attributed to

    Re: How much of the success of the early Ferentz years (02,03,04) can be attributed t Umm so yeah... Clark, greenway, hodge, banks, sanders, mo brown, cj jones, Scott chandler, Roth, Hinkel, Tate,Solomon, ridiculous amount of offensive lineman. Shall I proceed?

    Wadley: More Proof That Ferentz Doesn't Put the Best Players On the Field

    Also, they said in the post game that wadley may have had issues with grades recently. Unless I heard it wrong.

    Iowa-Nortwestern prediction thread

    I actually think Iowa wins with comfort tom. NW does have a good rb but if you look at their stats they are anemic on offense, have fairly suspect qb play with a non duel threat, and just an ok defense. The weather will be cold and windy and favor a physical battle with it being determined on...

    It begins....Brandon out at Michigan...next up?

    But... Les Miles can flat out recruit, has a cutthroat personality the b1g needs, and the conference needs someone to stick a boot in Urbans behind. No he might not win titles, but I think he would ad some flavor to a punch less league. I in no way like mich but I have always appreciated the...

    Weisman and KMM watch

    What will be sorta crazy is if he finishes with like 17 TD and maybe 700 yds rushing. That would be a weird stat line. Weismann is not comparable to Greene, banks , shaws ability but he is probably the most consistent player we have had this year. Also the only guy that looks like he is...

    Name for Iowa's Offense

    Are you implying you would take jake over stanzi right now???? huh? Actually Stanzi led us down to about the 30 yd line, and completed 20 yd pass on 4th and i want to say like 18, on the play before his ill advised dump pass to robinson. Jake didnt complete a pass to a reciever over 10 yds on...

    Honest question...when Ruddock does the dreaded "check down"

    Thing of it is, the play has actually worked well in the past with Marcus Coker(osu 2010 , mich 2011), who had a couple of TDs on it I believe. I just don't think the right side of the line is as good as it has been in the past though.

    the #1 reason we lost

    Sorry I failed to mention I was referring to okeefes offense that featured play action posts and such.

    the #1 reason we lost

    How about the 3.3 ypcatch in the 2nd and 3rd quarters? how is that even possible? What I wouldn't give right now to have a couple of patented play action deep post routes to tevaun smith. He was good for at least one a game of those. Is that even in the playbook anymore? or the sideline fades...

    Rank of Iowa Offense

    Or better question... how can they have 3 straight 3 and outs with the wind at their back and an ave start field of around the 50 yd line? that is just downright mind boggling.

    The Linebackers are the Real Problem

    I believe those two will be great eventually as well, but I am starting to see, especially after this last game how much we missed those 3. You have to realize how much production we lost from that group, Morris alone had 8 sacks and 5 picks, kirksey had like 3 ret for td and some sacks...
