People make too big of a deal about whether a team is P5 or not. Iowa has played some good non P5 teams and some bad P5 teams. N. Illinios finished in the top 25 several times when Iowa played them. (the Jordan Lynch years). Miami (Oh) was also very good in 02-03 when Big Ben was there. Those...

Yup. Iowa finished 21st in the country in time of possession at an average of 32 minutes 32 seconds. This kills the argument that the defense gets wore down in the fourth quarter because the offense cant sustain any drives.

What I find frustrating is that for as good as Iowa's defense has been statistically under Phil and Norm, the defense can't seem to ever get a stop in the fourth quarter when they really need it. The obvious answer is that the defense gets tired from being on the field too much, but you...

I agree with you that not fixing the punting problem was a fail by the coaching staff last year. As to why they didn't bring in a grad transfer lats year, I don't know, maybe there simply wasn't anyone available.When they brought in Coluzzi, Rastetter had been on campus for a year redshirting...

When Rastetter was a freshman ,they brought in Coluzzi. When Rastetter was a sophomore, they offered another punter a scholarship. (Gersonde) Now for Rastetter's senior year, they bring in Sleep-Dalton.If there was a conspiracy to have Rastetter be the punter, why did they bring in three other...

LOL at ISU being close to passing us in football. When the clowns played in the Alamo Bowl this past year, they were saying it was the biggest bowl game in school history. That tells you all you need to know about ISU football. Get back to me when they play a football game in January.

Can you name a TE that put up better numbers than Hockensen?

Just watch. Next year,someone like Smith or Smith-Marsette will have a breakout year and some posters on here will complain they were underutilized in 2018.

When Bill Snyder was offensive coordinator, yes. After he left, not so much.

Didn't Iowa get penalized for crowd noise in the metrodome back in the eighties? (as the visiting team)

Didn't Lou Holtz get the football program in some trouble back in the eighties, I don't remember the details.

Call me a nerd but I found that hilarious>

If Illinois keeps playing like they have been, Brad Underwood deserves consideration. I've always felt like the best measure of a coach is how much his team improves from the start of the season to the end. No team in the BIG or probably the entire country has improved as much as the Illini have...

This game reminded me of some of the great comebacks of the Mr. Davis era. At Illinois in Davis' first year, against George Washington in the first round of the NCAA, and of course the Chris Street game at MSU come to mind.

I see this as a good thing. The more time Barta spends on the CFP committee, the less time he spends working at The University of Iowa.

GMAFB So now all a transfer has to do is claim he was a victim of a racial slur and he doesn't have to sit out a year?

Yeah, I think he is like Norm Parker in that he just wants to teach coach football. If he really wanted to be a head coach someday, I think he could have gotten a MAC or FCS job by now and tried to work his way up the ladder. When KF retires, he may consider the Iowa head job if given the...

OK, lets say you have a nephew on the football team. Now lets say that you love the University of Iowa, enough that you would donate a filthy sum of money to the school. Now lets say the coach would offer to let your nephew play just because of the money you donated. Would you put the success of...

Well Miss St has three guys projected to go in the first round, and they won one less game than Iowa.
