That's how I see it. Draw attention and potentially be a decoy, but still have that potential to make a play when called upon.

I actually do think this probably was part of it. Advantage gone. LOL. But I think Saban was smart. Legacy intact and the whole landscape of NCAA football just changed. With enough money from boosters and NIL, you can create a winner almost overnight.

I see some postings about Indiana not participating in The Wave. Said Peacock cut away in part because of this during the intermission. Any thoughts on this? Secondly, what are you guys' thoughts on Cignetti? My two cents, in some ways, it's a teams right to not participate. It's an U of I...

There was something said, that with Lester's new scheme that zone blocking is a bit modified from how it has been for years. And the pass blocking scheme was a bit more of a change for the offensive line to adjust to. It appears much like the rest of the offense, it took a bit to gel. I think...

I think they are definitely trying to find ways to get the ball in his hands. From jet sweeps to swing passes and screens. It would be good to have him involved for sure.

We could say that about Hayden too. Look at the line of coaches that moved on and had solid coaching careers. I think that says a lot about Fry and Ferentz both. Former players and coaches speak with the utmost respect about both. Both obviously were very good about creating a culture which...

I also believe Iowa has done a fairly good job in that category recruiting to replace these guys. We have some highly ranked recruits, but as we know until they hit the field and show out, stars by someone's name don't mean a lot.

I totally forgot about the roughing the passer call. Wow....that was horrible!

There's scenarios that would be potentially positive for all 3 of the aforementioned (Woods, Lester, and Fitz). I wouldn't mind Woods, but I think he would need to ensure some capable coordinators to merit success. Fitz and Lester have done it and have experience. Does the NW scandal follow...

I have no issue with your argument. KF and Bill Belichek's pic would be in Webster's Dictionary under the definition of conservative. But this just who he is. He has not changed, and some would argue that's the problem. But I see it as just a way to coach and his philosophy. He sticks to what he...

He must have done something right being the winningest coach in Big Ten history. Fry was more of a gambler. I give you that. But we make that first down on that screen, we are in position to win by field goal. To me, that isn't playing not to lose.

You're not wrong. And I've been trying to analyze this in my head all morning. And I make no bones about defending KF on here. I can be easily accused for being biased. I hope it's just it was an emotional gut punch for him. Damn, we were right there and I'm sure all the staff really had the...

I think more emotionally this one hits hard. I think that includes KF and the staff. Most of our predictions were if Iowa could slow the game down, control TOP and dial up some schemes on defense, we had a chance. All things above happened. As mentioned, the call for a screen was a great call...

Regardless, positive news for the Hawkeyes!

I sure think they have shown to have improved. Indiana's front 4 were formidable. I thought Iowa adjusted or wore them down some in the game. I think moreover, their pass protection seemed to have evolved positively. Do we know if Beau Stephens' status? He went down in the second half and had to...

I think the other question about Woliczko is where she would fit in position wise. Doesn't play more of a power forward position and they project her more of the small forward position for college. Sometimes that is a deal breaker for an athlete being asked to change positions. I think in this...

I'm beginning to lean more towards maybe the game plan has been to go out all along at the end of the season. He got his win to become the winningest coach in Big 10 history. He does look drained. But I also know his pressers aren't too high energy either. He and Belichek both will never light...

He also does a good job with that RPO belly read he passes out of. Very good at it and he gets his head up and seems to read very well. Scares the hell out of me. The issue is we have very average and inexperienced linebackers and our secondary has definitely shown it's not a strength either...

I think much like our fanbase, you can't get too high or low. Regardless, of the outcome we will continue to talk about the Hawks and support them. I can respect that, and respect other fanbases that are not delusional. Every fanbase has a few bad apples but seems like most agree Cornhusker fans...

Phil will definitely have to roll the dice dial up some blitzes and schemes or this could easily get ugly. And yes, absolutely, this is just as big as game as tOSU coming to town. Fortune will have to be on our side with special teams playing big for us and maybe a turnover or two. I just...
