    Ferentz Nears Big Ten Immortality With a New QB Built to Win

    From the article: Remember, Iowa ranked 132nd in scoring offense with just 15.4 points per game in 2024. The Hawkeyes haven't ranked better than 117th in total offense in each of the last five years and haven’t seen a 300-yard passer since 2019. This author seems to be a year behind. Didn't...

    Terrell Washington Jr. Listed as Starting RB in Week 2 Depth Chart

    100% agree on Patterson. I think he looks better than Washington in game time. X. Williams certainly looks the part. I would like to see a rotation of Patterson and Williams with Washington in on third downs for his pass receiving.

    For no good reason

    IMO this will be a deciding factor in the game. Can we stop them on third and long? Can we limit big pass plays? A side note but related, can we get some sacks/hits on Becht and make him uncomfortable? The defensive side isn't being talked about a lot but it should be. I'm not sold on the...

    Well shit....

    According to Chad Leistikow of the DM Register, there was apparently some discussion before the injury to redshirt him this season since there are four Sr. WRs. Three other WRs have already redshirted. Would save a year of eligibility and he could still play up to four games this season. With...

    Predictions for Albany

    38-3. Offense will be decent but leave a lot to improve on. The defense will dominate a weak O-Line for Albany and should have little trouble. But we won't learn a ton from this game.

    Watching the games without cable.

    Unless they've reached an agreement, there was a story yesterday about Fox and YouTubeTV. The contract is up for renewal and they may or may not have an agreement in time for football season. It affects all of the Fox channels, news, sports, etc. Based on the schedule it could affect the...

    Inaugural Depth Chart

    Phillips is undersized at 5'7" but the two other starting WRs are 6'0". And don't be surprised if Reece Vander Zee (6'4") is on the field a lot and especially in crunch time/red zone situations. I'm more concerned in our WRs production than their size at this point. Phillips had a lot of...

    Cats and Clowns Kickoff the Season

    Keys to the game will be to run the ball and stop the run on defense. As always. Oh, and win the turnover battle and don't give up big plays (like last year).

    Fresno State vs Kansas

    Didn't realize he still had eligibility. Good for him.

    Rice headed to Nebraska

    I was aware that they had never won a NCAA Tournament game but not that they were the last school to hold that distinction!

    Kirk says offense is ready.........

    So you're saying there's a chance? ;)

    thoughts heading into camp

    I have a lot of faith in PP but the secondary did not perform well last year as a group. Too many big plays, especially early in the season (see Iowa State game). I certainly hope the cornerbacks are ready to raise their level of play but for me, I am going to have to see it. From what I...

    Kirk says offense is ready.........

    The ISU game is crucial to how the year goes. My biggest fear is that with it being the second game, the offense won't have hit its stride yet. I think the offense takes some meaningful leaps forward this year. The question is going to be how quickly will it come together?

    Noah Fant Released

    He will most likely end up going to the highest bidder. Which he should.

    Rice headed to Nebraska

    You never know if he'll be there for four years in the current environment. I wish the kid the best but you never know if he might be available down the line.

    Gronowski

    I have to agree with this take. And, he spent several years on NFL practice squads. He couldn't get over the hump to make it to a roster spot (that I know of) but you can't get that far without being a pretty decent QB.

    Payton Sandfort

    He had surgeries on both shoulders and won't be cleared to play until Oct.-Nov. The Thunder knew this when they signed him. But they still wanted him. I don't see him making the big club next season, pretty much has no shot at that. He is probably looking down the road and their history of...

    Top 5 career 3 point % shooters

    Hausen (not listed) Stirtz Koch Some others may make it but there are too many unknowns with the rest of the list, IMO. I hope several more can make the jump.

    Trey Thompson

    That is a good article but it is subscription only I believe. Otherwise I'd link it. Also found it interesting that his Mom brought up the reclassifying thing. I believe it was while watching a practice but I could be wrong.

    Depth Chart Projection

    As for LT, I wouldn't be surprised if Bryce George works his way on to the #1 line. Or maybe he and Lauck will rotate the position some. And I think the O-Line will be pretty salty by mid-season. It might take a while but the potential is there. And we all know what usually happens if we...
