    A bit too conservative toward the end

    I expect the opposite. Iowa is going to do Iowa things and get both lines up to speed the next two games. That doesn't mean super conservative. They do need to get the receivers a good workout in both games. Iowa also needs to get some north south running going with a decent serge from the...

    A bit too conservative toward the end

    The offensive line two deeps have two good & experienced players, Linderbaum & Ince. Schott, the only senior in the depth chart, is injured. Plum is a decent tackle with some experience. It's too early to tell how good Richman and DeJong are at tackle. Than you've got a bunch or...

    A bit too conservative toward the end

    If I remember right Wisconsin's 3-4-4 defense is based on the old late 1990's NFL 3-4-4 defense. A number of college teams gave the old NFL defense a try, most without success. I think getting and developing guys with the right physical attributes & skill sets was problematic for most college...

    5th in AP, 7th in Coaches Poll

    From what I read Kent State has a decent offense that can score quickly if you don't take care. Their QB is pretty good at zone read. They do seem to throw a lot of interceptions though too. Not sure if they play defense.

    A bit too conservative toward the end

    Kirk Ferentz wanted nothing to do with that 3-3-5 defense, late in the game with a 17 point lead.

    Is Iowa a championship team?

    Tory Taylor's foot is national championship level. I could seriously see his punting being the deciding factor in 3 to 5 games this year. Opposing special teams coaches have nightmares about Taylor's foot.

    Is Iowa a championship team?

    We've seen enough of these ugly "play it safe" endings to know it's all on the coaching staff. The object is to play out the clock and not screw up a 17 point lead. If the other side plays well and makes it interesting, so be it. It's Kirk Ferentz's patented turtle mode. Some of the ugliest...

    A bit too conservative toward the end

    Campbell's decision to put in fresh players was undoubtedly the best choice under the circumstances. It was a long shot at that point. Iowa's players had nothing left in the tank, and almost tanked.

    Why do you want Iowa beat Iowa State?

    Because I don't follow Iowa State. No one in the family went to Iowa State. The only connection I have with Iowa State, is my father used to dump me off at the student union (or whatever equivalent Iowa State had) when he would visit the campus library on a Saturday afternoon. (This was 1971...

    Is Northern Iowa supposed to be really good, good, just average??

    Heard Northern Iowa returned a huge number of starters. That can turn into early season success, even if they aren't a great team.

    Iowa QB situation

    Vandenberg took one for the team that year. Davis was going to mess up the starting quarterback that year, regardless who it was. More worried what it would have done to Ruddock's development.

    I ate way too much pop corn this afternoon.

    Antifa to the extent it actually exists, is as much a disorganization than an organization. They're violent anarchists. The disorganization is to an extent by design, but a big part of it is overall mentality. Sure, there is a core group of agitators who let it be known what they are irate...
