Wisky's defense is better than Iowa's because their defense plans to get off the field as soon as possible giving more game clock time for Iowa's offense to operate.

Both have their foibles with basic decision making for football coaches. For example, Hayden would accept the yardage from a gain of six yards, let's say, instead of a penalty of 5 yards on the opponent's defense making it first and 5. Hayden would rather have second and 4 than first and five...

Oh yeah...I'd rather have a good guy than a winner. Maybe Lee Corso formerly of Indiana?o_O

Winebrenner?? Steinbrenner?? Are you dropping names? I'd be impressed if the latter. Well, I don't recognize Winey. My apologies.

I see where this thread has taken a drastic turn and I'd like to weigh in. About the best thing, IMO, one can say about Iowa's defense is it's better than the offense. This year's defense gave up way too many big plays. Iowa's defense can't ever get most offenses off the field with any...

I stand corrected. Iowa fan base apologist.

Looks like the Iowa fan base doesn't travel to NY City, either.

Why not blame KF for Iowa's offensive woes, then, instead of the misinformed claim by some the OC at Iowa is terrible? You hit the nail on the head. It's KF's philosophy/psychology that drives Iowa's offense. For example, Iowa's offense consistently ranks in the lower half of offenses because...

I haven't read most posts on this thread nor have a completely read this post but I laugh when I read the bias against Davis. I wonder, is it also because Davis attempted to use more WRs in the passing game than TEs.?? Of course, there were TEs like Kittle during Davis' reign with more...

I find it quite ironic that some on this board who chastise those who are 'defeatist in their attitudes towards Iowa football' cried/cry mightily over schemes employed by Davis, KOK and Ferentz the younger, for examples. Who knows how much latitude an OC has in a KF system? The evidence seems...

And DDThompson's post...sounds like Capt. Kirk...too.

You know, Iowa will begin to have this rep of not traveling well to bowls and Iowa will always go to the bowl it deserves according to its record. Prepare for a lot of low-level Pinstripe type of bowls.

Really? You want to give BC 'bulletin board material' to get them fired up against Iowa; maybe one team will be fired up)?

Are you agreeable with 'Pinstripe bowl type' of low level bowls Iowa will be involved with if Iowa's team quality stays the same, Iowa's fan base doesn't travel well to bowls and the Iowa fan base accepts mediocrity in its football teams?

Enlighten me.

Should we pray for a loss?

And Iowa's reputation of traveling well to bowl games will go in the dumper. Wha? A fan base who accepts mediocrity from its football team won't accept mediocrity for a bowl?:confused: The ONLY way to be able not to accept mediocrity from a bowl game while having a mediocre team is if the fan...

Iowa has this reputation of traveling well for a bowl game which only enhances the bowl Iowa goes to. Traveling well means sitting in the stands and spending money with local bowl vendors. Well, if you don't want Iowa to leapfrog over that team with a better record than Iowa's, stay home...

Just like every other defense (including tOSU's), if the offense changes things up on occasion, the defense gets rattled. The offense creates plays. The defense reacts to plays. If the offense can force the defense to think, the defense can't attack and their reaction is slower. The offense...

I know. What do opposing coaches do to scheme for Iowa? Twiddle their thumbs? And, of course, the Iowa staff isn't gonna change anything because the system works...as long as the execution of the system is good, er, perfect.
