Is Resar so bad that he could not be pressed into service as an emergency move to provide some QB bodies? If he is that bad, one has to ask why Iowa offered him a QB scholarship in the first place.

Thats the great part about Indiana. They created a 10-0 team off the clearance rack at TJ Maxx. They may have paid less for a whole team than Texas or Alabama pay for one backup QB. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of NIL $/wins at the FBS schools.

Our QB's are not difference makers. They are the weakest link in the program. Our QB's are the lowest level of talent on the Iowa FB team and possibly the worst QB's in the B10. Fixing the Iowa program for the future starts there.

Lainez will be available

Hoping our OL can improve their pass blocking by Saturday.

If we could win games with Deacon Hill, we should be able to suit up a couple HS QB's out of the stands and give it a go.

Nebraska changed OC’s during a bye week. How will that play vs USC? And against Iowa in two weeks?

It will be interesting to see the blow-back to this piece from UI students and fans.

Perhaps an NIL cap per team similar to salary caps in professional sports?

The OL run blocking has definitely improved. I would give them a B+. Points deducted for the two first and goals vs Iowa State and last weeks UCLA game. On the other hand, I think the pass blocking is below average.

As someone who lives outside the Iowa bubble, I can attest strongly to the first two points. National football fans and recruits do not tune in to watch Iowa struggle to beat Northwestern 15-13 on the Big Ten network at 11 AM, but they do tune into the marquee games such as the Big Ten...

This. Our OL has been bad for several years. Need a complete rebuild.

Indiana is what Iowa used to be

I believe that was the MINIMUM expectation for this team.
