This play is illustrative of the problems: https://youtu.be/F1CZkUUyuSw?si=8cZnUwWrBUIL3Tgw&t=56 MN has 4 guys in threatening positions to the offense's left, so presumably we shift protection in that direction (OL fans that way, RB is on that side). Two of those guys back out, and a blitzer...

Yeah, but in fairness, he sucked pretty hard in the 2 games prior to that. There is no way he could have been worse than Deacon Hill last year.

18 rec for 187 and 2 TDs. Jerminic Smith played as a freshman (all 14 games), started 2. He had 6 receptions for 141 yds on the season (4 for 118 came in a single game vs. Illinois).

#4 from MN had a rough film session yesterday.

I don't like to rag on the refs too bad, I know it is a very difficult job. But WNBA refs have not been up to the task all year. The league needs to address this. And I agree, they didn't favor one team in this game, but they were rough. Connecticut took it to the Fever, looked like a vet team...

The other 2 he was not really touched, but I think most RBs don't score on the last one. I don't think KJ scores on that last one in previous seasons. Even though everyone was blocked, that was a mess in there. He had to wait a sec for things to clear, and then explode past some bad angles from...

That first TD is mostly KJ brilliance, he has to bounce away from play-side DE and OLB who defeated the reach blocks of the TE-double team and OT. He cannot cut up because the backside DE scraped down like a MOFO and Dunker didn't have a chance of cutting him off. After bouncing off the...

On twitter Hawkeyegamefilm has been flummoxed by what he sees as consistent mis-identification of blitzers/protection (this has been a consistent problem for a couple years). That could be on QB, it could be on OL calls, even the RBs/TEs have a role in it. Somehow we are not consistently on the...

Agree that the OL has been stout in the running game...there are numerous big runs where our RBs have an alley a mile wide. But I think this season also illustrates the importance of a difference-making back. KJ's 1st TD (ball put on the 1.5 yd on review) should have been a 3 yd loss. His last...

Hawkeyegamefilm posted this on twitter (prior to the game): McNamara only had 5 passes of over 20 yards coming into MN, he added one incompletion just over 20 yds in the game. So, through 4 games, he had 6 passes targeted over 20, and of those, one was the scramble and throw to Ortwerth, and...

Minnesota did a nice job in the first half of keeping Iowa in their 4-3 with 12 personnel, and then exploiting a TE on LB or RB on LB matchup. Early in the 2nd half Minnesota had a big 3rd down. They went back to this strategy, and split their RB (#1, Darius Taylor) to the top of the screen...

We need someone who can punish a D on those off-schedule plays.

Probably right, but I thought it was interesting that one of the first things out of KF's mouth after the game was, "We have to figure out how to throw the ball." Going into a bye week, could that have been some foreshadowing? A shot fired across McNamara's bow? Guys are open right now in this...

Not just the greatest MLB player. Is he the greatest athlete ever to compete in American professional sports? Obviously his career has been too short to think over that timeline, but has anyone ever been as exceptional as he has been over the past few years?

As a counterpoint, last year Iowa was negative in TO difference, and they won 10 games.

Our leading rusher last year (Williams) didn't hit 479 until the 9th game.

That prompt led to some weird ones...
