And you could see a guy like Tracy maybe w a game or 2 of eligibility left play in a big spot like B1G champs or bowl game after some extra practice

I wonder if they mean for players like Brents and Riley that are playing serious minutes. You'd have the believe they are managing the special teams snaps to maximize that 5th year availability.

I’m guessing Hankins wasn’t quite ready for IN, Brents is a clear starter and Riley was POTW so you have your starters for IN. MD is more of a runnnng team and maybe Hankins still is not quite ready. They will need Hankins vs PSU and going forward w more pass happy teams. Your clear starters are...

Yeah, If you were behind the bench you probably also noticed just how tall Brents is. He is huge. I saw him standing next to Hankins and he’s a head taller. He’s taller than Linderbaum by a fair bit, at least a couple of the OL and Hockaday. Brents can tackle too. He gets guys on the ground in a...

Yet somehow, someway most years this millennium a B1G team is in the national title game.

I can hardly wait to see what Iowa runs off the WR screen to Easley action. They were clearly setting something up for next week w that play.

With the athletes Parker has on the edge and now the outside LBs, this 4-3 defense doesnt look that different than WI's 3-4. He drops DEs into coverage and is blitzing w the LBs more.

Parker is using g AJE masterfully. He's in there when he has the best chance to disrupt the play. He may end up leading the B1G in sacks coming off the bench.

If Iowa lets Kempt get the short passing game going, it will open up the run for Montgomery vs green LBs. Hawks will need to press the WRs which could open up deep shots to Butler. Even w a very good maybe even elite DL, their O could test the Hawks. The key to this game is completion %. If...

That, right there, is the defensive key to the game IMO.

This was the PHI Eagles D last year. Deep DL that was always fresh and pressured the QB and the run game. Good safety play. Ok LBs and serviceable CBs.

He had AA stats in the MAC but would not even play at Iowa except maybe in specialty packages.

Welch and Nieman both looked solid vs No IL. Welch hit like a Mike LB. If Armani doesn’t work out, I’d expect Welch there.

35-17 with 3 TD catches by the TEs. Hawk D plays well in the first half but exasperatingly gives up a score at the end of the half to make it a game at the break.

He’d be the 3rd or 4th best DE at Iowa. I think the OTs have plenty of opportunities to lock up w the talent needed to prep for a MAC “AA”.

Yes he has...at his own peril. https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2018/08/27/iowa-football-northern-illinois-sutton-smith-kinnick-stadium-brian-ferentz-season-opener/1109951002/

This mid-major killing undersized loudmouth DE Sutton is going to get lit up by a couple of backup OTs. Great, you had a good game vs 4-8 NE, so did everyone. That’s why they were 4-8. You’d be Iowa’s 4th DE.

The season hinges on the ISU game. Iowa wins that, they are setup for a night game vs WI maybe w GameDay there. They lose that game, it could unravel. We know how the Hawks like top 5 teams in Kinnick especially at night! Iowa hasn’t had athletic enough OTs with experience to handle WIs 3-4...

Going to be even louder on the field!

O was better last year than it had been in a while despite a whole lot of I experience. I think year 2 in the Stanley/BF era shows significant improvement. 10-2.
