    Iowa Could Dominate

    Punting?

    CTE

    My guess would be anabolic steroids. When abused they cause quite a bit of damage. I know to many people that played before steroid usage became widespread. They have trouble with their knees, not their brains.

    Akrum Wadley

    Wadley will do what he does and make some talented NFL defensive players look silly. Does it get him a shot? Maybe. Phil Parker is going to do what he does too. Seems like he has figured out how to reload. Does it get him a shot? Things would go down hill pretty quickly at Iowa if he were to leave.

    Position by Position Thoughts-2018

    It seems like every year I am worried about a position group and confident of another. It seems like every year the position group I was worried about turns out to be great and the one I was most confident in struggles. Going to apply reverse logic here and say that the linebacker play will end...

    Walk-ons

    Being totally committed to the Hawkeyes is a real asset. Phil Parker has been mostly able to reload at corner/DB/DE and now it looks like he is gearing up to reload at LB too.

    Rhabdo at Nebby

    Paying for three coaches must be tightening up the budget a little. Sounds like someone decided they didn't need the urine color charts over all of the urinals in the locker room.

    Walk-ons

    Anderson and Dinsdale looks to be a strategic move for some needed depth. What really jumps off the page is Riggs. Check out his highlight reel: http://www.ncsasports.org/football-recruiting/iowa/west-des-moines/dowling-catholic-high-school/mitchell-riggs1

    Wisconsin isn’t more talented than us

    Times have changed, social norms have changed. We live in a world where information is cheap, everyone is an expert, failure is seen in realtime. Revisionist historians believe they know more about the past than the people who lived it. It's divide and conquer baby! The rules have changed...

    Wisconsin isn’t more talented than us

    Fry is a legend because he pulled Iowa out of the mud and made them respectable. He took a program that was down for two decades and put them at the top. That earned a lot of respect from those who lived through that time. As Fry was slipping Ferentz came in and brought some of that prestige...

    Wisconsin isn’t more talented than us

    Showed just how important the linebacker position is to Iowa. The position group cycle at Iowa is like a sawtooth wave and 2018 will be the bottom of the cycle for the linebacking corps. Most of the other position groups are on the rising side of their cycles. Wisconsin seems to have some sort...

    Next season - depth chart and things that need to happen

    The punt/option on 4th downs could really be a thing. It limits what the opposing team can do in respect to the punt return. Any 4th down w/ 4 or less yards - let Stanley make the call based on what he sees when the ball arrives. Design and run it like the pistol...

    Stanley

    This is the correct observation. Stanley will take the heat for Iowa having to start 3 new linebackers next year. 7 or 8 wins w/ the team finishing strong, but the inexperience in LB corps will cost the Hawkeyes early on. Easy prediction to make. I would like nothing better than to see the...

    Way too early prediction

    Under. 8 games tops if history is any indicator. Every Ferentz era QB won the most games in the year he earned the starting spot outright at the beginning of the Season. Stanley's number was called in 2017. So, with a bowl win this year, 8 would seem to be the ceiling for 2018. To bad because...

    Someone take the game plan away from BF and burn it. Make him watch what is going on the field and adapt.

    After the Purdue score the Hawks need to put Quarrels in @ WR. His hands are like glue and he can't be any worse than ISM. Let's see what he has.

    I am looking for the 2009 Iowa at Penn St full game video for my collection

    it's out there somewhere as I watched a good chunk of it on display @ Walmart on Highway 1 last year about this time. They were showing it on some TVs near the South door where you come into the home/garden side of the building. I walked in, stopped and watched about 5 minutes of it and then...

    Stanley should be punting

    If his leg is anything like his arm it would make sense. I like the idea of the punt option...
