I would argue Fant is the 2nd best TE on the team. Sure, he has a ton of 1 yard touchdown receptions, but Hock has better hands and is a better blocker.

Eno picked up another 120 yards last night against #20 ranked Colorado. Fellow Hawk de-commit Frank Darby had 131 yards receiving. That's a lot of skill position talent that slipped through our hands.

This game provided a lot of us what we were looking for: more passing, more scoring, and some creative play calling. A 48-31 win against an inferior opponent feels good, but not great. Minnesota starts a walk-on freshmen QB, a recipe for a losing season. They just lost 42-13 to lowly...

Uhhhh, you guys remember what Kirk's record was in his first year at Iowa? 1-10. The difference here is that Frost is 1/2 year removed from leading his team to 13-0 season. Kirk was 1/2 year away from being an obscure O-Line coach. Despite the "wheels falling off" at Nebraska while Iowa is...

Hawkeyes87, if watched any Hawkeye football this year, you would know that ISM only has 7 caches because he didn't play in 2 of our 4 games due to injury. In spite of that, he still has more catches than Smith who started and played the majority of downs in every game. You unwittingly proved...

Uhhh - trying too hard at what? The two deeps show a grand total of just 1 guy who comes from a town larger than 10,000 people. Just one out of state recruit. Zero JUCOs. You think there are 5 four star kids in the two deeps? There are a total of 1. It wouldn't hurt for the staff to expand...

The bye week is the time coaches get a chance to reevaluate things, watch tape, and make the changes they would not ordinary get to make during the season. This is normally the time when you'll see a guy who has been playing well in practice get a chance to get more playing time. Brandon Smith...

It looks like there's a 6'8, 320lb 4**** JUCO OT from England named Olaseni. For whatever reason, Kirk hasn't offered the him. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's Gabe's gigantic brother, and already has fantastic ties to the U of Iowa. He has offers from Auburn, Arkansas, and Minnesota...

Knight - I encourage use of stats to support an argument, but you bungled your attempt royally. To downgrade Benjamin's performance, you arbitrarily looked at Iowa's opponents' total defense ranking? If you followed Pac 12 football, you would know that ASU has already played against Michigan...

I'm all for sour grapes when it's appropriate, but to denigrate a guy running for over 300 yards because he did so against a Pac 12 opponent is laughable. Oregon State isn't good, they are an equivalent of a 1 win Iowa State. Toren Young led the Hawks against the Clowns with 68 yards. Eno had...

I wouldn't expect someone like DDThompson to grasp the fact that grades are based on Big 10 rank. Hence ranking is prominently listed in the OP. The passing offense ranks 6th. The rushing offense ranks 8th. The total offense ranks 10th. DD's mind is blown? Hawkdrummer too? Slightly more...

Much of the blame falls on the guy at the top, Kirk. His arcane rule prohibiting recruits from taking all of the visits the NCAA allows once they've committed has rubbed more than one kid the wrong way. It was on the Head Coach to talk to Eno and clear up the situation, not the random position...

The sophomore former Iowa commit already has 185 yards rushing, 30 yards receiving, and 3 touchdowns for ASU...in the FIRST HALF tonight. The guy is a stud and would have been a real difference maker for the Hawks this year and in the years to come.

Four weeks of college football are officially in the books. The cream is rising to the top. The Hawks are who most thought we were. 3-1, winning the games that we were supposed to win and losing the games we were supposed to lose. Thanks to a weak Big 10 west, the Hawks still have a shot at...
