If Iowa wins out and goes 9-3, the Citrus Bowl may not have much choice. Really only 2 choices, Iowa or Illinois
Minn still has to play PSU and Wisc, and they lost to Iowa. They will probably have at least 4 losses.
Mich already has 4 losses and still has to play Indiana and Ohio St.
Neb...

Kirk has already announced that Lainez is out for the UCLA game. I think somebody said he has a cast on his hand.
Not sure what McNamara's status is.
If McNamara and...
Lets take it one step at a time. Let's try to get ranked in the Top 25 again.
UCLA is a dangerous team that just upset Nebraska. Now Iowa has to turn around after it's big win and travel all the way to the Rose Bowl to play on a Friday night. This has trap game written all over it.
Your odds may not be as bad as you think. Believe or not, you have kinda grown on me over the years.
I am sure others would agree you are a cool kid, Rob!
No, if the Big Ten gets 4 teams, they will be
Oregon (projected 13-0 or 12-1)
Indiana (projected 12-1 or 11-1)
Ohio St (projected 11-2 or 10-2)
Penn St (projected 11-2 or 11-1)
All 4 teams above will have less than 3 losses. The SEC will have a similar lineup with 3 or 4 teams. The ACC...
I am more confused than ever now when exactly Cade suffered his concusion. This was poorly communicated by the Iowa staff.
I also am not totally convinced there was nothing wrong with Cade before the roughing the passer play. That wounded duck Cade threw up before he even got hit was just awful.
Exactly. Run the offense that works well for Sullivan.
Sure, If he gets hurt, then the Iowa offense will struggle with whatever 3rd string backup that comes in. But at least the offense won't be struggling until Sullivan gets hurt. Next week Cade will be back and the depth problem will go...
Tracy wasted one year at Purdue as a WR before he was switched to RB in his extra Covid year. Tracy was extremely lucky to have that extra year and to have an assistant coach at Purdue recognize his potential to play RB
The way Cade threw that wounded duck on that roughing the passer play, it made me wonder if he was already hurt before that play ever started.
In fact I wonder if he was already hurt before the NW game even started. There was something weird about how the coaches already had a plan for...
One concern with a running QB is he will slowly get banged up if not completely knocked out with an injury. So if Sullivan takes over full time, you will still need a backup ready to go, which is a role that Cade can fill.
Looking ahead to next year, if Sullivan is the starter, it might...
Exactly, if Sullivan starts from now on, and keeps running as much as he did against NW, he will start to get banged up or flat out injured. If you are going to play a running QB, you need to have another QB ready to go. Cade can probably fill that backup role best.
Now I don't know how...
Agree the WNBA has a problem when the 2 best teams play a best of 5 series that goes down the wire,
and the fans still dont find it compelling.
the games were low scoring games in the 60's with inconsistent officiating and thuggish behavior from the players. Sabrina Iescou, the great 3...
Interesting that almost nobody has brought up the old Rhabdo controversy that also involved coach Doyle. Maybe it's so old news that it's all considered water under the bridge now. But that was a case where somebody could have gotten fired and Kirk and the administration decided to support...
I doubt that's the case. Mote than anything, they are competing for Phil Parker's approval. Their #1 motivation to get more playing time and/or not get benched and not get yelled at. On Phil Parker's defense you either perform or you sit.
I mean, does Jon Nestor really have any memory of...
John Nestor, Deshaun Lee, TJ Hall, and Xavier Nwankpa
Sorry, I should not pick on Iowa's secondary, but there seems to be a lot of potential talent there that has not developed at a rate Iowa fans expect. But there is still time for one or two of them to step up. I really thought Lee was...
Luke Lachey.
I hate to say it but Tim Lester is not using the TE as well as Brian Ferentz did. Although overall Lester is better overall job of getting the ball to all recievers.
Iowa still has a favorable schedule with NW, Wisc and Neb games all at home. There is still a good chance Iowa will finish 6-3 in conference and 8-4 overall, which will be around 7th place behind Ore, Ohio St, Ind, PSU, wisc and ILL.
