    Question on Beathard's injury

    Pretty sure he has a sports hernia...complicated injury, one that just takes time to improve. Obviously playing each week will slow the healing. Having close to a month off will be pretty big in December.

    Talk to your kids about the SEC myth

    Bowl of "sour grapes" was a nice touch. Even though the video was about the #SECMYTH, The Nebraska comment was my favorite part by far. That was absolutely savage by the little girl.

    Passing from shotgun and running with CJ under center

    CJ is forced to throw from the gun because he isn't mobile enough right now to drop back. For 99% of QB's, it is easier to throw from the gun. Iowa would prefer to not show their cards, but PA bootlegs are just not in the playbook when your QB is hobbled.

    OT: Mangino out at ISU

    Have heard that it wasn't "planned" thing, which makes no sense to me, unless he up and quit that morning. If ISU fired him, then it certainly was planned to some extent. Very, very weird story all around.

    NO read option please. Agree?

    I still believe that was Ricky being Ricky...I don't think the RB or anyone expected him to take it, but that's the kind of play that he would make.

    didn't ferentz offer a young kid once

    I assume you're referring to James Morris, who I believe was offered in 8th grade. It helps when your dad is Greg Morris (Iowa Equipment Manager). That turned out pretty damned well for Iowa.

    Akrum Wadley's running style....remind you of anyone?

    Wadley's second TD run reminded me of Jermelle Lewis. He isn't Lewis...doesn't have the size or strength, but the lateral move was Jermelle Lewis.

    Taking a step back on the bye week: This is fun

    Iowa's offense is actually putting up yards and points, yet it still feels very distinctively Iowa. Defense also feels distinctively Iowa except they have fully incorporated a 21st century 3rd down pass package that the players not only seem to buy into, but one that puts a ton of young...

    Kirk And The Middle Finger.

    No. The pressure forced Kirk to do some soul searching. The fans getting angry was part of what spurred the change.

    Dear America: Iowa Doesn't Care What You Think

    Don't mean to pry into your business, but we're going to need a total clicks count on this one later this week/next week. I'm seeing this story everywhere...facebook, and national pundits.

    IOWA-Northwestern comes back to reality game thread.

    Iowa has to blitz and make the QB uncomfortable.

    This Is Why Iowa's Run Game Is So Much More Effective This Year.

    Having a quicker back helps turn 5 yard runs into 12 yard ones (with the occasional bigger burst), but last year, Iowa's interior line didn't get any push. Interior OL is MUCH better than last year.
