    Big Ten Returning Starters for 2012

    UNI had a loaded team that season and was the season opener. they sold out versus the run on certain formations and were able to really bottle up the run in that game. They also took advantage of of the te seam versus the cover 2 in that game as well. I still think they were top 4 on both sides...

    Four downs with the offensive line

    There are certainly some parallels and that o-line struggled at times, but I thought that was KOK'S worst playcalling season as well. Iowa passed way too much given the talent they possessed at tailback and teams were able to generate pressure with only 4 players due to JC's indecision and...

    Four downs with the offensive line

    Foval, I think you are missing a lot of people's point in that the best athlete of the group is pretty much destined to play Left tackle strictly because of pass pro. No matter how you scheme your protection the LT is going to be the key to a defense if you have a right handed QB. I think Iowa...

    IOWA WILL BE FAVORED.......BUT BY HOW MUCH?

    Iowa will be a double digit favorite. NIU loses basically entire offense including best QB in history of program., as well as four multi year o-line starters and defense gave up 30.3 points per game last season.

    I just want to get this post out of the way now

    Given this schedule my personal floor for the season is an eight win season. I think Iowa will have to outscore Big Ten opponents for that to happen, but Iowa's defense made tremendous strides over the course of last season and given the youth up front and the experience in the back the defense...

    Ferentz Spring Presser Transcript

    How many other schools would ***** about bringing back a QB that had one of the best statistical seasons in the history of the school as a first year starter? I mean really the offense was the only problem last season? JVB had a very good season last year. He has flaws as has every QB that...

    Davis likes what he sees in JVB

    my impression would be that off schedule refers to executing in obvious passing situations- meaning 2 and long and third and long. Schedule generally refers to getting 4+ yards on first down and having less than 3 yards to convert on third down, Iowa was off schedule for much of the season last...

    Bernstine will get a shot to be drafted now as a luxury pick for a successful team as a gunner/ special teams ace.

    Scouting Report: Oregon

    This is a bad match up for that Hawks with only a couple of minor intanglibles going their way- time and depth. Oregon will be 5- 7.5 favorite heading into this game and i would be inclined to fade Iowa at those numbers. Loved the post Jon and statsheet.com is another really good source for...

    So a Syracuse player is declared ineligible the Tuesday after selection Sunday?

    If this was known it would have absolutely impacted their seeding. Cincinnati lost a #1 seed after an injury to a key player in Kenyon Martin. I think Syracuse is in for a world of hurt this coming off season.

    So who's the leader next year?

    this- at least two times tonight I saw White reposition a player on defense and get on McCabe for a rotation. Marble is going to have to finish games for us next year.

    2012 Offensive Line

    Agree with rocknroll- and Foval to a point Iowa's depth chart is generally not positional. So in effect I am saying Scherff was the 6th lineman last year and Van Sloten was the 7th. That doesn't mean that Donnal can't win a spot or even the Lt but traditionally Scherff or Van Sloten will have a...

    WE ARE IN!

    That is really strange that we are the low seed and get the home game. I think I can talk my wife into letting me go.

    2012 Offensive Line

    First the losses- Iowa loses Riley Reiff, Adam Gettis, Markus Zusevics and Woody Orne from 2011. All were basically two year starters and Zusevics may be one of the most underrated linemen in Iowa history- he stepped in for a very good multi-year starter in Calloway and there was no significant...
