    Wait until Iowa loses

    Will be interesting to see how our D performs against a real offense.

    Don't mean to be knee jerk, but how concerned do we need to be for next week?

    yeah the second half was all about running into 10 man fronts and the safeties playing deep on d. Giving up the return kinda sucked but that guy is leading the country in return yards.

    If We played Ohio State 10 times, how often do we win?

    if we can run the ball on them like we have against everyone else this year it comes down to special teams and turnovers. If we can't run on them successfully I don't like our chances as i expect them to score on every possession.

    Maryland OL thinks Iowa D overrated?

    To play a bit of devil's advocate here, Iowa's scheme has traditionally been weak vs uptempo spread run teams. Their ability to stop the run vs MD will make me feel a little better about Indiana.

    My collection of thoughts

    I think we will keep doing ok as long as the turnover battle keeps going in our favor. To be honest though, our defense is benefiting by two things. The first is that as always we are limiting the possessions in the game based on how we play both on o and d . The second thing is most of the...

    Talk to your kids about undefeated Iowa

    Yeah he lost all credibility by doing that. Even if his wife wears the pants in the family and is an Auburn fan, you don't document it.

    Targeting?

    In the Michigan game they either didn't see the linemen push him into the QB or because as he was going down he intentionally lowered his head to make contact with the QB (which is very noticeable on the replay). Also I didn't see the Stanford play but it doesn't just mean helmet to helmet. If...

    Pitt moves to 5-1

    If The Hawks go undefeated we will get to play one of those three teams.

    How do you prepare for a team that just got Beat 38-0?

    I would expect nu to look a lot better than they did vs Mich. They got behind early so had to alter what they want to do on offense. also our defense isn't as good as Michigan. I think it's the same as ever game for us this year we have to be able to run the ball to limit possessions and win...

    Hillyer and Vandy need to be the starters this Saturday

    Not sure when T. Smith got injured last week, but I'm assuming a combination of him getting a full week of practice + not facing a defense nearly as good as Wisconsin's will help the freshman.

    Bullies of the Big 10 Again

    Yep Sanders led with his helmet most tackles and Hodge was king of the horse collar.

    Acme

    Acme was also typically used as a business name back in the day so they would appear in the beginning of the phone book.

    Schwartz article on Season ticket drop

    Winning and having a full stadium does help recruiting. I think a new/younger coach would also help recruiting. I do think fans need to be realistic to the whims of 18-20 year old kids and realize that talented players aren't going to sit on the bench at Iowa for three years waiting to play...

    Gazette OnIowa podcast

    I feel that the negative aspects of his legacy is a big part of how the program got to where it's at. He's been burnt recruiting good athletes with characters issues and out of state players not wanting to ride the pine for 3 years and develop, so they've stopped bringing those kids in and given...

    Coaches Treated Game Like a Scrimmage

    By playing all of these running backs the coaches are showing them they will play the best players. Helps with recruiting helps with keeping kids around and giving their all in practice. Didn't we know it would take a few games for the o line to gel? What's scaring me right now is Lowdermilk vs...

    Gameday law enforcement taking a lighter touch?

    the AD did have something to do with this. Higher ticket prices means less people attending games. Less people attending games means less people for the police to harass. Emptiest i can remember seeing kinnick look on t.v. in a long long time.

    Brian Ferentz

    I saw Parker do this to the entire secondary during the osu game last year after the Braxton Miller run around for 20 seconds then throw a touchdown play. yelled your all a bunch of f***ing quitters multiple times nothing remotely constructive. Kf let him vent then once Parker walked away he...

    Miller's replacement

    i had the privilege of sitting 40 yrd line 3rd row visitors side for the Iowa osu game this year... after osu scored the go ahead touchdown Parker ripped both the safeties new ones. in their face screaming at em called em f***ing quitters about 20-30 times. Went on for a minute or two, about...

    My favorite part of the Greg Davis presser

    umm not that i was in the coaching meetings but i assumed cjf wasn't getting playing time early in the year was because the few times he was out there early in the year he dropped everything thrown his way... as did all of the tight ends we fielded. IMHO not having a go to TE last year was a big...
