    POLL: WHAT COST US THE GAME THE MOST?

    For THIS game, we stop Taylor on their last possession and get a quick 3 and out, we had a chance to win. When the coaching staff called timeout after Taylor gained 7/8 yards on the first down ... game over

    IOWA AT WISCONSIN PREDICTION THREAD

    Hawks best win this year - the Cyclones. Foul weather and delays made it an ugly game and Iowa was able to win. The weather in Madison will not be a factor and my expectation is the Badgers win. Hope I am wrong. Stanley is a classy kid and it would be great to see a game plan and OL play...

    my thoughts (read:overreactions) after exhibition

    If CJF shoots this well against good teams, we will forget about IM. On good nights, IM could create separation and score - didn't notice if CJF showed that skill last night.

    Sell me why Iowa pulls it off in Madison

    Sorry, but some things can't be sold, no matter how much lipstick you put on the pig. My prediction is we lose the next two and win the last two. Hope I am wrong and would love to see Iowa pull off wins against WI and/or MN. My philosophy is be pragmatic and don't get too upset when our...

    Gird yer loins...NW is next!

    True - none of the options include Iowa winning or losing by exactly 7 points

    Northwestern

    #1 issue is that every B1G team knows how to beat the Hawkeye zone blocking scheme. Even if the coaches keep harping about the "cleaning up" the "execution" issues, use it sparingly on running downs and I think we could see better production.

    So are we excited about basketball?

    Figured it would take a musician to use a Spinal Tap reference. Good form!

    Iowa 2-Deep for Northwestern Game

    Although there are guys on this forum with a lot more technical knowledge that me, I think Niemann wasn't on the field when we used the Cash position ( i.e, only two LBs)

    The Invisible Problem With Iowa's Offense

    As I said in a post in another thread, it seems that the primary objective of the Iowa offense is to optimize time of possession. This is the one stat that we have dominated in every game this year. Taking the game clock down to a second or two is one component of this philosophy.

    From the perspective of Iowa W/Ls, the Hawks at this point in time, I am relaxed. But, it looks like Minnesota and Illinois are playing better than expected and Nebraska is not doing as well as expected. Illinois put up 25 points against the Wolverines so this game looks a lot tougher than I...

    !*****Official 'Cousin Oliver Has A Family Reunion at The Big House' Game Thread*****!

    MI gambled big time that our offense would not change despite the constant blitzing and that won the game.

    !*****Official 'Cousin Oliver Has A Family Reunion at The Big House' Game Thread*****!

    Defense has played a hell of game to us with a TD. Let's hope we can solve the blitzkrieg in last half of the 4th.

    Goodson

    I was thinking the same thing at the time. If I recall correctly, Young actually slowed down at the end of the run to take on a safety. I think that the coaching staff has done a good job bringing Goodson along. He will likely get a lot more touches as the season goes along.

    Keys: Michigan Game

    Three keys - An offensive game plan that keeps Michigan on their heels (e.g., audible to short passes on first down when corners are playing off the line) - Defense - No corner/safety communication issues and linebackers contain on short passes. I expect that Martin will be targeted on more...
