Incredible hustle play after missing a tackle. They are saying he is potentially DeJean's replacement. Granted I would love to see DeJean defy the experts and come back. Maybe Castro and Higgins stick around and run it back in 2024? I know, wishful thinking.

It's crazy. Matt Rhule was talking how it would take $1-1.5 million in NIL to get a good quarterback. Crazy.

I think the most glaring issue were the turnovers and the one punt return, which is normally very good. Incidentally, Taylor is now the all-time leader in punt yardage for the NCAA. The former record holder was on a 2-11 team. Also, the defense played very well. I think you add DeJean in there...

If you look at tOSU's season, they didn't dominate in their normal fashion. Wasn't it a late touchdown against the Irish that got them over, and the Penn State game was more pedestrian. Throw in a loss to Michigan, and I'm sure Bucky fans were less than thrilled with a quarterback that was less...

I have no issue with Braun getting it. Granted KF was my pick. Echoing what was said by many, I think you could easily show many obstacles the Iowa staff had. Injuries at key spots that were key to Iowa. Losing a quarterback was huge. And losing the top two receiving targets just added to the...

They posted an interesting stat that is shows what a special group and team this is. Since 2000, they inquired what the most wins were for a team that averaged 250 yards or less. It was UCF in 2006 with 4 wins!!! 10 wins is 10 wins in any conference. If you look at next year, our offense looks...

Great post. Especially "taking the bullets" while deflecting the compliments. That's what head coaches are supposed to do, but I think KF goes above and beyond that. Players have bought into the culture that staff has fostered. They know they all have roles and rarely do you see the "I or me"...

I think you nailed it. It is love of the game, the players, and the university. There is so much we don't know and don't see, but see the kids rally around him and the rest of the staff. That says something. Those kids love their coaches and it's reciprocated by the staff. The culture built...

It goes to show how tight this staff and team are. This is a theme that seems to be year after year with the Hawkeyes. A true genuine moment and spoke volumes of the relationship Phil has with Kirk and the players. The moment on the sideline with Kirk and Brian was emotional, but also seeing...

Was Lachey set to be back by the bowl game? I know All is done. Just had not heard any updates on Luke. I can see Cooper wanting to play if possible, but I can also see the staff even advising him that it may not be in his best interest to play. There's a lot we don't see or hear about as...

I think he stays. As time passes, I think it may even be a relief for him after the past couple seasons of Brian being scrutinized (as well as him). I think people forget how much Hawkeye football and the U of I mean to him. I also think leaving at the end of the season would definitely leave...

I don't think KF goes anywhere. This is to save face on his legacy. The elephant in the room was Brian. Something had to give and I think this allows Brian to go out on his own terms, and does not force Kirk's hand. Curiosity will be does Brian take Barnett's spot? I cannot see Barnett having...

Or Barnett goes away and Brian steps in as O-Line coach?

What he also made mention of there was nothing to do with the review regarding the fair catch signal. From what he stated or understood, it was whether DeJean stepped out of bounds, correct? So, it is even more odd that they called it. I think the last time they said it had been called was...

I was sick after the game. Frustrated by how ineffective the offense was and the obvious call that took away Cooper DeJean's punt return. I may have brought this up before, but the heat is on Brian and Kirk both for this one. I've asked myself where is the heat on Barnett? He is the offensive...

I'm hoping Ostrenga can showcase some of his talents. LaPorta made mention prior to last season that he actually had the best hands in the TE room and was catching everything thrown his way. Hopefully it's his time to shine. Definitely, some talent at that position.

I've cussed Castro a few times for missed tackles, but he always redeems himself with a big hit or a big play. More often than not, he is always in position and this defense doesn't have the big names like a Jack Campbell, but definitely get after it. I'm more impressed with how they play team...

At the end of the day, we are all fans. We Monday morning quarterback the game from Saturday and critique the coaches, players and play calling. As long as we win, we tend to be content. If Iowa went undefeated and average 10 points a game, we would likely be ok with it. Parker would be...

It is what it is. He is at Alabama now. I support the guys we have that have committed to our program. I did see we have a verbal commitment from a 6'7 375 tackle. Again, til they are on campus, I don't get too excited. I think (as previously mentioned) the NIL will begin to change the...

I'm hoping for a natural progression. Normally, KF teams get better as the season goes on. While I was still frustrated by some of the play calling, I saw some things that hopefully will lead to better production. After their 3 and out to start the second half, Iowa came out throwing with no...
