    Positive Surprises

    Obviously a frustrating start to the season (in addition to the off-the-field issues) given 3-1/4-0 seems so close, but might as well focus on some of the unexpected highlights: - Zach VanValkenburg - Really improved both year-over-year and through the course of the season. Seems likely to use...

    Depth Chart vs Northwestern

    I think you are misreading the chart (the spacing is off for some reason). Belton still at SS. I agree that both safeties were awful. Brents was fine in coverage but did not tackle well. Moss and Hankins both looked great. Why is ZVV still receiving reps as a starter? He was awful against...

    2020 strikes again Wisky/NE game is canceled

    Wisconsin won't be holding football activities for a week to make sure transmission of the virus stops at these twelve players. Essentially that's what the Titans ended up doing when they had their outbreak. Wisconsin might end up playing their week 3 opponent, but they will be down those...

    Howe: Iowa Football Looks Unified, Now Must Clean Up Fundamentals

    Thanks - HawkeyeGameFilm is great. Unfortunately I dumped Twitter this summer - need to get that guy a column somewhere!

    Howe: Iowa Football Looks Unified, Now Must Clean Up Fundamentals

    Rob, do you know if anyone at HN (or elsewhere in the media) has put together a snap chart? Just curious what the rotation looked like out there. I thought we would see more bodies on the OL - might have helped in the 4Q. I haven't been able to open the article, but yesterday's game was very...

    8 Players Sue for $20 Million

    It's definitely a money grab, but: a) Doyle walked away with $1.1 million despite being at the center of virtually all complaints against the program b) Kirk oversaw the issues, by his own words did not take them seriously enough, and continues to rake in millions per year. I'm not saying the...

    Howe: Time Was Exactly What the Big Ten Needed for Fall Football

    Players who test positive must sit out 21 days - wow! That is bound to impact what will already be a wacky season. Iowa kind of lucked out this year in terms of its talent. The team has 5-10 draft eligible players, but none are sure-fire Day 1 or 2 picks so I am guessing all will opt into...

    Martin in the portal

    Bummer, I hope he finds some place he feels is really a good fit. I realize this is going to sound like stirring the pot, but could his departure relate to Dillon Doyle's transfer? I believe they were high school teammates at IC West. Could be nothing, I just wasn't sure if the Martin and Doyle...

    Looking at Iowa Football Player Representation, Retention Since '09

    I hope we get the chance to hear directly from Barta and Ferentz on these numbers. I suspect similar analysis is what led to the actions already implemented a few years ago, but the figures from Chicago Media Days are just brutal. That being said, the data seems at its worst in the 2013-2017...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    The way I see it there are three issues under investigation: 1) Disparate impact of certain rules of the road in the Hawkeye weight room/locker room- Things like the dress code and the social media ban fall into this category. It sounds like changes were already being made on this topic and...

    Recruiting Targets Share Feelings on Racial Allegations Against Iowa Football

    Good perspective, thanks for digging, Rob. If Kirk stays on this year (pending the findings of the investigation), then there is really one quick and easy way to get the ball rolling again on the recruiting trail: Win a lot of football games. It helps that this team is loaded with star players...

    My recipe for KF moving forward.

    If BF is suspended, I suspect KoK would step in as OC but I guess it could be Pol. I agree with your suggestions, but I think a stated transition plan from KF is also best for the program. He should be allowed to take the lead on all the bullet points you mentioned (as well as standing up the...

    Derrell Johnson-Koulianos Statement on His Time with Iowa Football

    https://247sports.com/college/iowa/Article/Howe-DJK-Lost-His-Way-104762966/ “I don't think that Kirk Ferentz takes an iota of satisfaction in the arrest of his star receiver. He's a parent whose son, James, bumped with the law a few times while a player at Iowa. The coach told me this year that...

    Howe: Ranking the Big Ten Football Stadiums

    One big omission - Lucas Oil! I have been three times (including the gut punch of 2015) and had a first-class experience every time. To-go beers in downtown Indy, great energy from both fan bases all day, and then watching the game in December indoors makes for quite the experience. Hopefully...

    Ross P. At Alabama

    Blythe and Matt Nelson had Stanford offers too. Nothing wrong with staying home - chances are an elite graduate school will be open to former athletes like these two and Ross P. Basically what happened with Rudock. On the other hand, Oliver Martin's decision looks a lot different when viewed...

    How much do we consider JCs

    Not true at all. Big Ten has much higher academic standards than the Big 12. Also, Michigan is easily the second best B1G school from an academic standpoint; Nebraska is probably the worst! https://www.hawkeyenation.com/football/biggest-problem-big-12-academics Notre Dame has more difficult...
