The OP seems to want to take as big a flush as possible on both KF and the entire Iowa system. Ed Orgeron's Carroll era USC pedigree may appeal to quite a few people as representing high octane big boy football. OP either doesn't know about or maybe doesn't care about why Orgeron is being...

Cinderella got kicked by a horse on the way to the ball.

I didn't expect the offense to actually be worse at pass blocking against Purdue than it was against Penn State.

You're it.

All three games look competitive right now.

Looks like they still have a pulse. Playing well on both sides of the ball and it looks like they have a QB.

Uncrossed crossing route crosses goal line.

I haven't made a meaningful prediction yet this year, and I'm not going to start now.

Better punter and experienced QB make a lot of difference.

Getting rid of Bob Diako is always a good thing. Sorry if I offend anyone, but Diako never was a good defensive coordinator. Should have stayed a linebacker coach.

Britt wiffs on his block and Linderbaum almost throws a guy on top of him.

I wonder if something minimal would cut down on this. If a player injury causes a time stoppage the player must sit out for 3 plays or a change of possession, whichever comes first.

Yes, they used he defensive point in this. (They didn't specify, I checked.) Subtracting out the 23 defensive points gives 11.5 yards/pt which is #12. Still pretty good. They've had to face some good punters this year too. They haven't got trapped by it much. Either they got a play or...

Iowa is #6 in defensive yards-per-point at 21.1 (higher is better). This means opponents are putting up yards and getting little for it. Forcing turnovers will do that, long punts, and making the other team settle for field goals. Iowa is #3 at yard-per-point margin at 11. Last year Iowa was...

Offensive yards-per-point is considered a bit of a voodoo statistic because it correlates well with winning on an individual game basis, but tends to be very random and even out over an entire season. The lower the offensive yards-per-point the better. Iowa ranks #1 (lowest) yards-per-point in...

So my interpretation is Iowa's offense is benefiting from the best average starting position relative to the goal line OFP = 62.1 Iowa's opponents are getting the worst average starting position relative to the goal line DFP = 76.1 I'm not so sure this is due to offensive production but rather...

Cool

I was somewhat tempted to go on one of the Penn State forum boards and ask; "Is the Penn State vs. Iowa game a rivalry yet?" Decided against swatting that hornets nest.

Their offensive line has been decent but not great at pass blocking and hasn't been very good at run blocking. They really haven't been getting much push up front. Their pickup of blitzing has also been somewhat suspect. Then there is the quarterback situation. They are running two...

Purdue's pass happy offense has been getting lot of yards between the 30s but without a running game they have been total crap in the red zone. They have 11 passing TDs and 2 rushing TDs. (The UConn game accounts for 6 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD.) They need a running game if they want to...
