There was plenty of bashing going on when it was announced that he was transferring, and it still hasn't stopped.

Maybe because he helped lead the team to a surprising 8-4 season in 2013? Some fans weren't thrilled with his check down tendencies going into last season, but he was at or near Jake Christensen levels of hate by the end of last season. It would have only gotten worse if he'd won the job this...

Nine months ago, hardly anyone outside the program even wanted Rudock on the team this season. But once he left, it turned into a Rudock bash-fest because he quit. Thus illustrating the no-win situation he was in. And Rudock was/is more than smart enough to realize that.

Rudock was left with a no-win situation at Iowa. Either he would be stuck on the bench, or he'd win the job and have to deal with the fanbase hating his guts because they wanted CJB. And that's not even mentioning the major distraction his continued presence would have brought to the team.

If every incoming senior who has two years of starting experience quit after being beat out, we wouldn't lose many players at all.

He was given every opportunity, he knew that, and he failed to win the job. The competition was over the moment Ferentz released that depth chart. Saying Rudock quit because he transferred after that is like saying the Cubs quit because they stopped playing after the Mets won four games in the...

Most of the time when people rip on Iowa's schedule, they've been focusing on the last five games. Iowa's SOS coming into today was solid, but everyone knew it was going to plummet down the stretch, and that's what the pundits have focused on. If they're going to focus on the rest of the...

Drew Ott says hello. The only reason Meier missing time would be a HUGE blow is because Ott is already out. If Ott were healthy and we were plugging Hesse into the other spot, it wouldn't be a huge deal.

Bogus. Maryland ran for 250 on OSU and 240 against PSU. Their numbers were brutal against Michigan, but Hills also didn't play and he's done the bulk of the work in the last three games. Maybe he's actually pretty good at running the ball? The offensive line has definitely not looked good...

Or he knew that he was underage and would probably get checked, in which case blowing anything more than zeroes would get him busted.

It won't be by the end of the season. Not even close.

This. He was far from hammered.

If Iowa were to make it and then flop in the playoff, nobody in the media will be talking about the B1G title game. They'll constantly harp on how they were right all along and Iowa didn't really belong. That's what recruits will hear, not that Iowa beat Ohio State. As for your second point...

I think the secondary would match up okay with OSU's receivers. Miller is an X-factor but other than him, there's no one in that WR group that scares you, and even he's been inconsistent.

I don't think this team is THAT good, and honestly, I think I would rather go to the Rose Bowl and play a team like Stanford. Getting owned in a playoff game doesn't help recruiting as much as a competitive game/victory in the Rose Bowl would. Win the Rose Bowl, and the national media basically...

You're misunderstanding the rule. A player can lead with his helmet, provided it's not directed at the neck/head of an opposing player. This is not an example of targeting, nor should it be. The targeting rule takes intent into account, and this was clearly not intentional.

Yeah, how dare a network advertise the game that it's carrying tonight? If it were Baylor-ISU in primetime, they'd be advertising for that game constantly, too.

Who we choose to focus on has no impact on the outcome of the games. If you want to take things one game at a time, be my guest. But it's not going to hurt anything if the rest of us "overlook" someone. Our attitude doesn't change the way the team approaches the games.

I'm buying my ticket tomorrow (have to sell a little more blood plasma for the last few bucks). This has been a lousy home schedule, but I definitely want to be there to see the Hawks get to 11-0 if they're in that position.

The injury to Martinez very well could have. The Cardinals could have easily held a 2-0 lead if Martinez could have pitched Game 2.
