Gotta assume JJ, right?

I agree generally, however, the 2005 team had one of the higher scoring offenses of the past decade and was significantly hampered by our lack of a DL. If we would have had a veteran DL in 2005, I think that team may have potentially lived up to its preseason top 10 ranking.

Sorry. :D The other thing I forgot to mention is that, even when Iowa has bad defenses by Iowa standards (05, 06, & 07), Iowa still only gives up about 20PPG (including OOC games - the numbers below include only conference games) - that is actually pretty darn good considering that most...

11-2 Big Ten champions. July 2011 feels a little bit like July of 2002 to me. Iowa is coming into the season with an offensive line that should be phenomenal, a RB that looks All Big Ten caliber, a great 1/2 punch at WR, & a QB who has shown flashes of greatness in the past (*cough* Brad Banks...

One? How could anybody name just one. Here is the thing, it would have to be in the era they played, because quite honestly, 1939 Nile Kinnick may not even have a walk on spot for the 2011 squad. So I'd rank them as if I had a time machine & could go back and watch them one more time: 1...

I disagree. The NCAA will never give out the death penalty again, but they will certainly hand down another TV ban. TV is the driver of the bus in college football....taking away a team's ability to be on TV really hits them where it hurts. I would not be surprised if the NCAA tried to take...

Good news. I'll take a two star guy Kirk offered early over a late offer four star offer any day of the week. I'd really like to see another 3 or 4 commits before the start of the season. Let's keep this momentum rolling.

Hopefully this starts a chain reaction...I'd like to see 7-10 commits before the start of the season. FYI, here is Cameron Wilson's highlight video from Youtube in case it is him....looks like this kid has mad skillz....I'd be really excited if he were the new commit: YouTube - ‪Cameron Wilson...

My best guess would be Pitt for him...I'd love to see him in a Hawkeye uniform though...kid was explosive and had talent.

LOL. You have a very short memory. Very recent history (09 & 10) suggest that a freshmen will certainly see the field this year (in fact, they almost have to, unless you are a big believer in Jason White). Further, to those commenting that Johnson has skills, again, I don't doubt that in the...

I think you have a short memory with regard to the relationship between Iowa RB's & ACL's. ;) Until I see DeAndre Johnson prove he can stay healthy, I'm not terribly confident that he will....which is what really eats into his "potential" score for me. Basically, all we have to go on with all...

Didn't even mention Jordan Canzeri? Huh....I'll take that bet. Given Iowa's entire lack of depth at the RB position, and our recent injury history there, I see no way Iowa red shirts either McCall or Canzeri. De'Andre Johnson is essentially a true freshmen with regard to playing experience -...

I guess your last paragraph kind of summed up why I think they have a good chance to win the Leaders. Again, look at the QB's @ Wisconsin, OSU, & PSU. Who in the Leaders Division is going to have a good offense? Even if Illinois' defense takes a step back (which I agree with you, they will)...

I'll gladly take Iowa's 4th yr JR at QB over what Wisconsin, Penn State, or Ohio State have heading into this season any day of the week. Iowa probably is sitting in a better spot for a QB transition than we ever have been under KF. Vandenberg has the physical tools and he has the experience...

I have a gut feeling (it could just be nausea from thinking about it) that Illinois wins the leaders. I don't take everything Steve Deace says as gospel, but the one thing he does preach that I vehemently agree with is "You can't hide your quarterback in college football". Tell me, does anyone...

I love Steele's magazine...less for his analysis than for the statistics he provides. I get kind of tired reading through page long narratives of him saying how right he is about certain things. I'll say this though, if he doesn't believe Iowa will have one of the best 40 offensive lines in...

Here is the link to the re-air dates: Big Ten Spring Football Report - Big Ten Network As you'll see, Iowa isn't listed as being shown on the BTN....that kind of upsets me. I have less of a problem paying $8 than I do with the fact that every other program gets to watch their spring game on...

I don't particularly like it, but the thing you need to remember is your $8 is going to be redistributed for the good of the conference.....I'm going to cancel my subscription right after the spring game and look at it as an $8 donation to a good cause. One thing that does **** me off a bit...

Coming from a guy whose screen name is PPierce...hmmm.

Agreed. Vandenberg has had plenty of opportunity to get reps with KMM, Don Shumpert, and Kenan Davis when practicing with the second team. McNutt is probably the one WR on our roster that JV has the LEAST reps with. It's nice to see our underclassmen be in a position to step up, however, it...
