I don't think it is ideal to have an un-athletic quarterback, but it is obvious this staff doesn't believe in the RPO system of a running quarterback. For good reason too. For one, getting through the gauntlet of the B1G healthy with a running quarterback is extremely hard to do. Look at OSU...

Not a lot the coach can do about this. JoeT cant shoot, CMac may be a little better shooter but defenses will live with him taking 3's because he won't beat them. Wieskamp is now our only credible shooter and he had a terrible game. Kriener cant play with Garza because he gets stuck in no...

Does anyone know exactly how the insurance works? Can a school pay for the policy? I would assume they calculate the value of the policy according to the draft projections some how? I just wonder how that figures in, that if there is a kid that just loves the college life and is a high pick...

Wisconsins o line will make holes for a back to hit, and they will find a back that will hit that hold. That we know. But there is no guarantee they find a back that once he hits that hole that he can make the linebackers and safeties miss and then drag them if they dont. Taylor is special...

Also, with respect to Wisconsin, even though we all know Taylor is great, I dont think we fully understand how truly great he has been. If you go back and watch the highlights of Wisconsins games, so many of their scores were just him being elite, reacting to holes that weren't there, breaking...

No matter who the quarterback will be and how good he is, we cannot depend on him to be ready for the road early in the season. So our success will lie completely with our running game, so we better get it figured out. The good news is, that with those three tough road games against...

Penn State is a toss up, but we should absolutely handle Nebraska.

Rest assured, there won't be very many nights off in the conference this year period. Take out NW and Nebraska, anybody can beat anyone anywhere. I haven't scrutinized schedules, but this is the type of year where the conference winner has 6 or 7 losses if not more, and there will be a bunch...

Taylor is a beast. Wow! Do you ever notice how many times Taylor doesn't go down but the whistle blows? That is one tough dude.

Like watch Wisconsin against Oregon here. Oregon was and still is loading the box with 9 and 10 defenders. You know Wisconsin totally expected this. What is really impressive is the amount of action that Wisconsin has to the weak side, and with the number of players. They have run several...

I think our problem with Wisconsin, funadmentally, is that their system and schemes are just more refined than ours. We are catching up, quickly, but if you really look at it, we pretty much revamped everything 3 years ago. A lot of coaches, and not just players but types of players we are...

Huge difference between a senior in Welch and a freshmen in Doyle. If Welch plays that game is different.

For everyone that wants to blame the zone blocking, and I am not saying I am a huge fan of it, but Wisconsin's hat on hat blocking doesnt look any different when there are more defenders in the box than blockers and the penetrate the gaps.

Why does Wisconsin never make the mistakes against us like that?

Just another example of superb player development at Iowa. Congrats Oj!

I am in Hickory, and while I love the Hawks and it would be close, I hope we dont have to see them in the old new Belk Bowl!

I think the answer to that question is we just need to be able to effectively run the ball. The promising part here is that listening to that Kirk interview with Leistikow, this is squarely on Kirk's radar and he said he is going to address it this off season. With respect to everything else...

I agree, Stanley will be missed. However, the interior of the offensive line will be better, barring injury. The guards that repeatedly got beat were the Paulsen twins more than any other, and that was right after Banwart and Schott got hurt. They both come back next year. Kallenberger is...

Thanks for the numbers backing up OSU being almost unbeatable at home. I knew they were tough out in the shoe, but I will be honest and didn't know they were that good there! Wow! Safe to say we wont be the favorite! LOL

I have looked at a few of the teams that are on our schedule and this is what I came up with roughly: Ohio State: They are going to lose a lot of their receiving talent, more than likely Dobbins, and most of their starting defense if not all of it. They lose the most I think. Penn State...
