Iowa will not be a tough road environment Saturday. Fans are tired and have low expectations.

Hawks will lose again. Minnesota has much more to play for and they are way more physical than Iowa. Minnesota running backs will run for 250+. Iowa has no run defense. Iowa's offense will again be ineffective. Iowa has no running game and they will not be able to protect Stanley. Minnesota has...

Wieskamp should definitely transfer. There are no other big 10 players on this team. This team is going no where.

Iowa's defense is good, but very vulnerable to the inside run. Taylor will run for 150+. Iowa's offense is ineffective on the road in big games. The offense can't adjust when there is a lot of crowd noise. Wisconsin 24 Iowa 6

That's really Iowa's only chance. Iowa needs to stuff the run and get an early lead and make WI think they have to pass. If not, Taylor will have a huge day. Unfortunately, I think it will be something like 24-6 WI.

Putting 2 punt returners back is the most important point in this thread. It's too easy to punt around one guy and lose 15+ yards as he watches the ball bounce down the field. I would defer to the coaches as to who those two guys are, but we need 2 guys back there.

If Iowa State is distracted by the Gameday hype and tries to bully Iowa, as they have tried to in the past, Iowa will win big.

Nice work Rob! Is Tyler L a true freshman or a redshirt?

Miami played 8-9 guys in the box for much of the game. The deep ball was there and Iowa could have hit more of those. I don't know if Stanley was asked not to audible, but with a new center, keeping things simple makes sense. Also, watch Iowa's blocking scheme over the years. The RB's are...

Regarding AJ, I'm wondering if Iowa was just sitting in a base defense where the DL focus was mostly on gap control. The LB's are largely untested. In a base D, the DL protect them and prevent huge gaps. So, you don't see the penetration from the DE. We may see the same thing against Rutgers...

The OP has nothing to lose. Rob, you wouldn't put something speculative out there because you would be at risk. Keep up the good work!

Wouldn't it be Fran's agent talking to Arkansas? Could you ask, "Have you, or any of your representatives, talked to Arkansas?"

Barta won't do it. He just gave Fran a new contract. They both have to go.

If Iowa doesn't win at least one game in the NCAA, Fran should be gone. There are many talented coaches out there that we wouldn't have to be embarrassed about.

Iowa doesn't have the depth at any position to play physical. We have no point guard. And with Nunge and Pemsl out, we have no shot if the bigs get in foul trouble. If Iowa only loses Baer and Cook for next year, they will be better. Iowa doesn't know how to use Cook. They let him handle the...

I think that many of the tight ends that have seen NFL success, and especially George Kittle, help both Noah and TJ. they both can be good blockers and have the speed to beat LB's. I give the slight edge to TJ as I think he's less injury prone than Fant.

Nice job Rob! Did anyone listen to Jon Miller? He basically said that all TJ did was ride Noah's coat tails and that all of TJ's success is because no one was paying attention to him. That's BS. On many of the snaps where TJ had success this year, Noah was not even in the game.

Fire Barta, now.

The #1 thing Iowa's defense is lacking is the run stopper in the middle at DT. Will Nixon fill that role?
