    Hawkeyes Resemble Bullies of Past

    Not with this schedule. Besides, KF has already proven that he can win with no offense at all. Right now, we have half an offense, which is better than anything we had last year when we made it to the conference title game. I will say that if Iowa walks into the Shoe and wins 20-17 with 250...

    State of passing game

    I gotta push back on some of this. While firing his son was not his idea, he went outside his normal circle and hired a guy he had no real relationship with, and from what I have observed, has let him implement his system and run it the way that he wants to. This offense looks nothing like...

    Nebraska Illinois Friday game

    I have know problem with Matt Rhule. He seems like a solid, blue collar guy who just rolls his sleeves up and does the work. He was the perfect hire for the floundering Nebbie ship. He reminds me of Brett Bilema. I don't like Fleck. Just rubs me the wrong way. Flim flam. Type of guy who...

    We'd be the same way. Any fan base would. Hell, as far as I can tell, no one resigned from being a Penn State fan after that scandal came to light and was adjudicated in a courtroom.

    No one covered up scandal and rampant steroid use better than Reverend Tom. POS. Look, KF preaches wanting balanced 50/50 run pass, but if you asked him if he loved watching Iowa just slobberknock the boat rowers into next week, he would just smile. I think if things were 270 passing and 60...

    State of passing game

    Ultimately, these are still kids and they are developing. Pass blocking against a really good defensive line is tough. You are going up against quicker guys and guards and centers getting fooled and beat happens in every game to every team. They have room to improve, no doubt. But, as a...

    State of passing game

    Wowza. So, in all three of his TDs, for the most part, Johnson was not touched until he was in the endzone. Now, that first one was mostly his speed getting wide, but man if you didn't see some gaping holes for our RBs on Saturday, you watched a different game than I did. Enjoy...

    State of passing game

    I think it is pretty off base to throw shade at Barnett and the OL right now. They are playing well and Iowa has the best running game without much of a threat of a pass in the country because of the play of the OL. Do they get beat in pass protection some? Yes. But, the larger issue with...

    Also, I believe Michigan beat a Top 10 opponent with half of the passing yards we had this weekend. Of course, their QB can run. I guess an argument can be made to put Sully in their and go all in on running people over. I don't think we have a QB that can pass on the roster right now anyway...

    Week 4 other games

    Is it weird that I found myself rooting for Michigan because I still have not settled on the fact that USC is in our conference? I mean, I don't like either team, but I generally root against Michigan because of the cheating and hypocritical nature of their "Michigan Man" mantra. But, you...

    I enjoyed the write-up as well. Its not to read something that is positive and based on facts.

    Can we bring BF back just to game plan for OSU in the Shoe? Seemed to be the only good thing he did in 6 years as an OC.

    State of passing game

    Not defending Cade, as he clearly isn't bringing much playmaking to the table, but at least he is protecting the ball and not making negative plays. That alone is an improvement over Hill. There is no evidence that Sullivan would be any better, but in my view, there is not much to lose in...

    Predictions for Minny?

    The stadium is tiny and 20% of the fans will be Hawk fans. 35,000 Natty Light soaked Goofers can't be that loud. We have a veteran team. Their high school stadium doesn't scare me. I will add to your analysis in that we gotta get the TEs touches early and often. Screens, waggles, squat...

    QB at the top of questions after 3 games

    Le Lester just needs to scream in his earhole as he walks onto the field, "whatever you do, don't fumble the damn ball!!!" One fumble by Sully and this experiment will get squashed like a bug by KF.

    Predictions for Minny?

    I agree that turnovers don't mean everything, but its damn important. I did not know that stat, but it does not surprise me. My reaction to that is that it partially explains why Iowa football overachieves. Iowa is a Top 20 football program over the last decade. Probably 15-20 range. But...

    QB at the top of questions after 3 games

    Its not a bad take. His completion percentage is in the 60s and he is not turning the ball over. We would have cut off our pinkies to have that sort of QB production most of last year. The offense is better, but as is usually true, the most popular guy in most college towns is the back-up QB...
