On ESPN Bet the line has moved to 5.5.

Not good. And, their O-Line struggles. They gave up 9 sacks to Minnesota. Having superiority on both lines is golden to KF. It may be a closer game than initially thought but looks like the type of game that we win, especially in November.

They play at UCLA, at Penn State then home against us to finish the season on Black Friday. I could see them losing out without Raiola being out for the year. And yes, the backup QB was pretty bad. They are going to be a lot like us after losing Cade the last couple of years. Virtually no...

This is what I don't always like about replay. There is sometimes too much deference to "it has to be overwhelming evidence to overturn the call on the field". Half the time, the refs on the field are just guessing and waiting for replay to bail them out.

They have a decent starting 11 on both sides of the ball. But when they get injuries, like every team does, they don't have the depth to fill those spots. This is where their lack of recruiting hurts them. Campbell can make a diamond out of a rough only so many times.

Minnesota gets extremely lucky on late game, controversial calls. Just ask Cooper DeJean.

Good offense. Horrible defense. That is part of the reason Oregon was able to put up 56 on them. They can't stop anybody.

That is why I called him the most valuable in this thread.

"The only good Gopher is a dead gopher!"

Penn State might have told him that they were no longer interested. The Penn St. AD and Ruhle are long time friends. But the loss to Minnesota, the way they were dominated, might have been a deal breaker for PSU. Nebraska hasn't beaten a top 20 team for a long time, far longer than the...

No insight on this at all but I've always had the hunch that he will end up on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker or safety. Too smart and too good of an athlete and he won't end up seeing the field at QB.

Not homerism at all. Really cool that you have a connection with two of the best players on the team. I also think it's amazing how many Hawkeye football players are from the NW Iowa area. Not just walk-on fourth stringers, guys who work their way into starting roles and some, to the NFL...

Lutmer is the Defensive Player of the Year. Hall is the most valuable. Two different things. Lutmer has really played well and is a play maker. Hall just shuts down whoever he is guarding. Hall does not have the opportunity to make the number of plays that Lutmer has had this year.

I think Hecklinski will win the job. Just based on what Lester has said about him, he seems pretty high on him. But he always says Brown is close though. As for Brown transferring, he will have to decide in January as that is the only open time for the transfer portal now. So it gets a...

Some of these schools are going to regret their actions. There just aren't enough top flight coaches to fill all of these vacancies.

Even if we beat Oregon, I doubt we go undefeated through the last three games. But beating Oregon would be awesome and a huge jump start to the final games. If we go 10-2 I believe we will be in the playoffs. I just don't think that will happen. I would love to be wrong!

It was KJ Parker. He is a WR who normally wears #1. But since he and X both have #1 (and both play special teams), he had to change jerseys on special teams.

Thanks for posting. I honestly think that #17 is a pretty good spot for where this team is right now.

If you can't see the improvement in this team then you must not be watching. Offense and defense, I see growth every game. Can we beat Oregon? Yes, but I am not counting on it. And it won't alter my thinking that we have improved. Before the season I said that Iowa State would be a tough...

One of the most fun games in a long time. This game reminded me of when we played Ohio State in 2017. Not exact match but the way we came out on fire and never let up until they were dead in the water. Minnesota knew halfway through the first quarter they had no chance in this game.
