#1 Wisconsin: Easily the favorites. Could probably go to Indy going 7-2 in conference play. More likely 8-1 or 9-0, but they are vulnerable. #2 Iowa: The losses are still losses, but Penn State might be headed to Indy and Michigan State might play in January. #3 Purdue: Really close to actually...

"When I was a young coach, Frank Broyles told me that you can only count on getting the most out of your team about 4 times a year. I didn't believe him then, but it's true" -Mack Brown

Gameplan was fine. Adjustments weren't.

Totally agree with the situation going for two after the TD. But fundamentals weren't going to help the Hawks defense against Barkley today. The dude is 230 lbs,, cuts like a guy 30 lbs less, runs a 4.4, and is also incredibly strong. He's bigger, faster, and stronger than most college LB's. The...

If they make it to the playoff... championship teams usually have at least one game, maybe two where they escape. Sometimes it's against an opponent that shouldn't hang with them. Hell, sometimes one of those teams beats them. I'm not rooting for Penn State, but this game only shows a possible...

If you're mad about it, go out on the field and tackle the guy. Not at the game? Find out where he lives or hangs out and confront him. Take him out. Does this sound ridiculous? Good, because those option are ridiculous. To the victor goes the spoils and the victor gets to write the history. And...

The majority of QB's can pick a defense apart when they have a solid 4 seconds to scan the field so it's obviously important to get pressure. McSorely has the Russell Wilson/Johnny Manziel quality of eluding a free rusher and making something big happen with improvisation. McSorely is only 6'...

Say what you want about Terrell Owens personality, but nobody ever accused him of being lazy or lacking work ethic. If anything, his work ethic was revered by teammates. "And the thing about this guy, I wanted to go to battle with him." -Jerry Rice "When Terrell Owens is one that piece of...

^^^Quit making so much sense and noticing things that for some reason other people aren't. There are more freshman/2nd year players playing meaningful roles on this years team than I can remember for Iowa. We'll see more and more of Epenesa as the season goes on. If I remember right, Matt Roth...

Maybe. Regardless of the caliber of defense, I came away impressed with Stanley's composure in the first couple of weeks. Things started off terribly against Wyoming and he didn't let it snowball on him. Against Iowa State, he and the offense faced some adversity in the 2nd half. In multiple...

I'll take this question for Kirk. Why are you guys taking graduate transfers all of the sudden? Because they can help make us a better football team, next question.

I think there is enthusiasm for the season, but I think there is a little bit of "wait fatigue." The excitement will pick up in August.

If you told me Iowa was guaranteed to have a DE logjam every season, I'd do a ceremonial naked man dance around 8 burning scarecrows with various Big 10 QB's faces on them in my back yard at the end of every August. I'd be more than happy for the Hawkeyes to have this "problem"

TE: I don't think we have amazing depth at TE. We have some young guys that have potential, but I'm not ready to say we definitively have amazing depth. OL: The OL should be a strength, but this unit wasn't exactly stellar at pass blocking. If they don't improve in this area... QB: ...

This doesn't guarantee he is leaving, but this probably isn't the best sign for Iowa either. The depth chart has nothing to do with it. Look at the list of schools he has offers from. He'll be competing with some high end guys at those places too. But he has a lot of good options and he should...

So are we on board with graduate transfers coming to Iowa? Are we not ok with graduate transfers coming to Iowa? Do we not like the graduate transfer rule? Do we like the graduate transfer rule? How do we feel on this board?

As one poster said, this is something that I don't think will matter in 5 weeks, but I think Wadley should have had the opportunity to go over Vandeburg. Wadley has contributed on some level over the last three years and will be the face of our offense this year or even possibly be the face of...

I don't know too much about Weigers or Stanley since I've only seen both in limited if any action at all. I don't know if my understanding of these two's skill sets is correct, but I think both of these guys are supposed to have the same or at least very similar skill sets. Feel free to correct...

I didn't write the original post to absolve Christensen or to make him seem like something better than he was. I wrote the OP because we have a QB competition coming into this season and some almost assume that the Iowa coaching staff is going to pick the wrong guy regardless of who it is even...

I wouldn't rank Iowa any lower than #5 and that really depends on how someone would feel about Georgia that year. Palmer was definitely playing at the highest level at the best time of year and you're right because that was a really bad matchup for us looking back in hindsight. What gets lost...
