When you look at the schedule for next season and what each defense loses Iowa's offense should be able to average 30 points per game. Personally I feel that Vandenberg will grow from this season. He is a smart kid, from all accounts works hard and had Stanzi as a mentor to help him understand...

I am a fan of JVB for several reasons- he has a great arm, doesn't turn the ball over and when he is hot is as good as any college passer. Think back to last season. Iowa lost DJK- one of the best receivers in Iowa history. Mcnutt and who were coming back? Reisner caught 40 passes at least...

Vandenberg was not good in the first quarter of a lot of games this season. To me that implies a problem with coaching.

Normally I would be someone who would rail on O'Keefe. But given the circumstances of this game I am willing to give him a pass. Iowa lost his game on offense, for sure. But given that we were missing the most talented running threat in this game and that was Oklahoma's biggest weakness I feel...

for thirteen years of excellence. I have been fortunate enough to meet several players from his defenses over the years and as good as our defenses have played under his tenure the players he has produced far outweigh the on field excellence.

iowa played a ton of sub packagess last season against missouri. Also with nielsen and kirksey at lb, better pass defense from 4-3 compared to last year. nielsen has thrived since he took over at mike. smart player with wheels at mike is key in this game.

nico law. i think he will have a big impact on special teams and see the field in specialty packages.

The thing I miss the most about doing the match up articles is the 5 terrible predictions and this looks like the perfect thread for them: 1. Broderick Binns will deflect 3 passes and catch one for an interception and block a field goal- defensive MVP without recording a sack or a tackle...

The Bears almost drafted Brandon Myers, in fact that is where he thought he was going.

I do but you have to pay for it now :)

I would prefer that Iowa was more open with things like this. I treat a comment like Ferentz saying we haven't put a lot of energy into it like I do the depth chart. Neither are based in reality. The main thing KF has in common with Bellichick is that they don't say anything more than they...

Here is where your wrong. Most football people will look at his territory, the lack of production from it and say he is a ****** recruiter. He is the first Iowa coach to leave under circumstances that are a bit foggy. And then he opens his mouth and removes any doubt that he is an ***. You...

I can neither confirm, nor deny this track of speculation at this time.

This is great for the rest of the Big Ten. I think Chryst is the best OC in the conference and his shoes will be tough to fill. Plus I think we are done playing Pitt.

My main issue with Erb would be his inability to develop a second tailback over the last two seasons. Adam Robinson carried the load last season until the concussion and Coker was hurt. Last season was a little bit more understandable with injuries to Coker, Hampton and later to Robinson...

I don't think we will see a lot of spread or empty sets. Iowa can exploit Oklahoma just fine with the regular sets and DeAndre Johnson is a capable tailback. My guess is that whoever is asked to fill Cokers shoes, though is asked to literally fill his shoes- he will get 90% of the snaps...

The last outback bowl was the most fun I have ever had. Game was awesome, tailgate was amazing and south carolina fans were great. Orange bowl was fun, but the highlight was eating breakfast on gameday and our waitress telling us Iowa stands for I only want alcohol.

I know for a fact this is true. this will be one Iowa will regret getting away.

I actuslly agree with Kaldy on several points. I think if Ferentz were to leave this is going to be the right fit. But the Juco QB is because after next year we have Ruddock and no one. Injuries happen and Ruddock may not be ready. The cupboard is really thin at Qb and they should probably...

I understand the general concencus was that Parkwr and Wilson were Co-dcs, but my understanding was Phil called the plays.
