    NCAA changes

    1) I really don't like at all, because ultimately college sports are supposed to be for the benefit of the athlete. It would undoubtedly end up with the NCAA telling some kid that they aren't allowed to attend their dream school because the NCAA deems them as "too good". 2) I'm unsure of...

    Recent Iowa Draft Trend

    Don't misconstrue words. Although "always" is closer to what you're implying that "sometimes".

    Recent Iowa Draft Trend

    That's football dude. Shit happens, much like it happens in many of Iowa's wins over Wiscy. It does not always mean "outcoached" however.

    STORY: Hawkeyes Land Commitment from OL David Davidkov

    Our lowest rated commit, Jordan Oladokun, is a mid-level 3-star (granted, due for a bump up to a high 3-star according to 247 guys), with 12 P5 offers, including Maryland, Penn State, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. For comparison, that's more P5 offers for one player than ISU has across their...

    Recent Iowa Draft Trend

    The players themselves said after the game that they were warned about the fake. I guarantee you that's a flubbed coverage. Typical PR team has at least 2 rushers, and then another two "safeties" who ensure the kick happens. The safeties obviously jumped the gun and went to throw a block...

    Recent Iowa Draft Trend

    The Wisconsin fake punt gets WAAAAY more attention than it deserves. The Iowa coaches told the PR to watch for the fake before the play, and they screwed up. Execution. But it was ONE play. Wisconsin ran ELEVEN more plays after that to score, including converting another 4th down. Not to...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    Your list would put us at 27, which I doubt we go that high. Probably settle around 20-22 as usual. We're out on Noel (trimmed it to 2 without us), and likely have backed off Hanson (we already have Bowie, Liddle, and Llewelyn, and Benny and Booker are both higher priorities). Probably only...

    Kristian Welch Signs with Ravens, Other Iowa UFAs

    Welch is a steal as a UDFA

    I don't get running a sweep

    I refuse to call it the ARC. If Nebraska Wesleyan didn't like the name, they shouldn't have joined the freakin Iowa Conference

    Bro, I was using his words, verbatim. You complain about CP87 misconstruing your words, but you're doing the same thing in this thread.

    Stanley's mechanics

    This thread covers your question in depth: https://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/threads/interesting-quote-from-stanley-at-the-combine.89558/ To make it brief, the Iowa coaches only get so much time each week and spring season to work with the players. Any time spent trying to tweak mechanics...

    I don't get running a sweep

    You're not just jettisoning the plays. You're tossing out an ENTIRE system that every player on the team has familiarized themselves with. Think of it this way. Every year, you have 1/4 of the team learning the system for the first time, 1/4 slightly familiar with it, 1/4 very familiar with it...

    Wonderlic

    50 is a perfect score. Average score is 20. That's really damn good by Nate. For comparison, Jake Fromm got a 35, Joe Burrow got a 34, and Tua Tagovailoa got a 13.

    Iowa Football Position Preview: Colbert, Niemann Form Solid Foundation at LB

    Because as you said, you need to have an absolute stud at the Cash spot for it to be an every down look. Amani Hooker was that dude. Belton might be that dude eventually, but he's not quite at that level, especially as a true freshman/soph-to-be) Plus, when you have athletes like Christian...

    Iowa Football Position Preview: Colbert, Niemann Form Solid Foundation at LB

    Keep in mind he played nearly the entire season with a torn labrum. Also, that's just a great scheme by USC. Few LBs are gonna be able to cover a RB wheel too well.

    ESPN’s Low: What if Iowa had offered Bob Stoops?

    I honestly don't believe the results would have been much different than Kirk. Sure, he dug Oklahoma out of the hole they were in, but they were still a top 5 all time program, with all the perception and recruiting advantages that come with that.

    Who wins the West this year?

    It's always been this. Never was Bielema, Andersen, or Chryst. It's still Barry that program lives through.
