Seems to me that a good candidate for the Iowa DC position then would be Luke Fickell. Knows the Big Ten, knows Ohio HS football coaches (recruiting), would add a little extra motivation when Iowa plays Ohio State (at least would offset the Stoop factor) and is apparently soon going to be out...

If they were faking injuries and I don't know one way or another then they are the dumbest team in the country. All of those injuries stopped the clock which ONLY benefited Iowa as MSU was sitting on a big lead. I could understand if the theory was that it was taking the offense out of a...

In game responsibility for Coach Doyle is making sure special teams are ready. The other responsibility his two assistant strength coaches have during the game is to make sure that everyone stays back on the sideline. iahawk72

Not only does he peg it but he shows a lot of courage as well: Joe Must Go

Breakfast at Mickey's and then head towards Kinnick.

Marv Cook said recently that Jacob is benching more now then Marv ever did at any time during his playing career either at Iowa or in the NFL. iahawk72

Just out of curiousity, when do you run 'some' no huddle in that game? Marcus Coker and the running game WAS your offense (until they got in the redzone and then they abandoned the run). The no-huddle would not have benefited the running game, specifically Coker who needed the rest between...

Our offense has problems, big problems in my mind. Not the least of which is the inconsistency of point production from game to game. Having said that I am just wondering how running more no-huddle last Saturday would have solved the points production? I cannot believe that Coker would...

Couple of things. The point about Coker, McNutt and Vandy being ranked so high to me are facts that don't make sense. I am not saying that the offense isn't putting up productive numbers in yards gained, TOP, points per minute, etc., what I am saying is that it is odd that those numbers can be...

Not to mention that Vandenberg is #2 in the Big Ten in Passing Efficiency (#15 nationally, #2 in total passing yards, and #3 in the Big Ten in Points Responsible for and Total Offense.

You are right. It is just that in previous year's Iowa had a Top 20 defense that masked the deficiencies that existed with offensive consistency of production. The disheartening (maybe too strong of a word for the topic) is that a) either KF didn't recognize it and try to improve these numbers...

Just as a comparison sake, Wisconsin has played 5 games against BCS opponents. In those 20 quarters, they have scored 202 points which averages out to 10.1 points per quarter. They are averaging a touchdown and a field goal PER QUARTER with Purdue on tap this weekend which might only pad those...

Let me stipulate that our defense is not particularly good. I get that. I think most reasonable fans would have acknowledged that of the two units (offense and defense) that the defense had the biggest challenge ahead of it based on the personnel lost from last year. In my mind the unit that...

I guess I am looking for your take on what I perceive to be an inconsistent offense. Is there anything from all the film study you do that you can attribute to Iowa's lack of productive consistency by the offense which seems to be more of the norm as opposed to the exception? Here are things...

I agree 100% HOWEVER...this loss was on the offense (again). Even with 2 missed field goals Iowa should have put 40+ points up in this game. It doesn't appear to me that Iowa's offensive coaches have outright challenged the offense to carry this team. If they have then that is even worse...

The combination of play-calling and lack of execution inside the 20s, especially in the 1st half was the ball game. Instead of putting an inferior opponent away early Iowa allowed Minnesota to gain confidence. Iowa's lack of aggressive running game inside the 20s was/is unbelievable to me...

Our offense, which has already proven to be under-whelming in 11 of 12 quarters against BCS opponents will lose in 2012: 3 Best offensive linemen Best WR (and one of the best in the program's history) Our defense which is already struggling from lack of experience/depth/playmakers on the...

Speaking for myself only, I didn't expect Iowa to win every game this year AND I can't say that I thought Penn State was going to be a pushover. However, I NEVER expected Iowa's offense to only put 3 points on the board. Losing sucks but losing when you only score 3 points is maddening...

It is very simple. The only way another school gets added to the Big Ten is if their membership doesn't dilute the per school take from the Big Ten Network. It seems to me that ND may be the only school that would increase the value of the Big Ten Network by the requisite $13 million...
