    All Big-Ten Defense

    Think of it this way: AJE was the starter at RDE for passing downs. Hesse was the starter for running downs. Both decisions would be correct. Yes, AJE May be a better run stopper in the next few years, but he wasn’t this year or last year.

    Were was that pass to a TE most of the second half? Great Win

    It’s almost like a high school basketball team that has Kareem at center, but they don’t throw it to him in the crucial stages of the game. Just maddening when you are a fan. Brian - this just in... when you throw the ball to your TE’s good things happen.

    STORY: Noah Fant, T.J. Hockenson Will Look into Leaving Iowa Early for NFL

    Next year’s schedule has a lot of tough home games. Could be difficult to pile up a lot of wins...

    Iowa State Cancels Incarnate Word for Drake

    It won’t count as s win, but ISU doesn’t need it to anymore. Looking for a home game and home concessions revenue, etc. Good scrimmage for the 1st quarter, then get in the 2nd and 3rd teamers for meaningful reps without losing the redshirts status.

    Hockenson a Mackey Award Finalist

    If the voters watch some of Hockensen blocking his guys 10 yards down the field as well as his hurdling some defenders lately, I suspect he will get the award. They all have similar yardage numbers... His blocking skills can make the difference, I hope!

    Urban done? but it ain't gonna be Matty

    USC will probably be open. K-State? Illinois?

    Game Preview, Prediction: Hawkeyes Hope Running Game Gets Rolling at Illinois

    Illinois cannot pass. We need run stoppers in this game and obviously someone has to key on the QB. Maybe a return to 3 LBs and move Hooker back to safety? Do we see Amani Jones at MLB at some point?

    Wadley never got a second look?

    He was playing awesome in the pre-season and really catching everyone’s eye in Tennessee. He even made a great escape move in the red zone to give the Titans a First down, which led to a TD. He looked like a lock. Then he fumbled later in the game. Never recovered from that.

    Iowa 16, ISU 24 in first CFP Poll

    I would like to think we will have at least one more chance for a statement win. I am hoping it will be on Dec 1st. Must win at Purdue, though. Not sure how we will cover Rondale Moore.

    Iowalaw's Post-Game Analysis: Penn State

    That is exactly the QB comparison I was thinking about. Complete with opposing defenses completely disrespecting our passing game to the point where both safeties are crashing the LOS. Now, Christianson never had the 300-yard or 6 TD games that Stanley has had, but that game Saturday was...

    Hawks are in the playoff

    There is a precedent that shapes what would need to happen for a 1-loss Iowa to get in. (First, remember that the odds we run the table are very, very small) If we face a highly ranked team in the CCG and absolutely destroy them, we could possibly jump over other highly ranked teams with 1...

    What About Northwestern?

    I really don’t like that they get a bye week before our game. He already calls it “Iowa week” so now he will have 2 weeks to put in some trick plays and get his kids all hyped up...

    True Frosh

    I saw Dillon Doyle make a special teams tackle, so I was wondering if he may be another freshman burning a RS. I hope not. Seems like we have 5 pretty good LBers right now and 6 if you count Hooker. 7 if you count Hockaday who may be out for awhile. Welch, Niemann, Colbert, Jones, Wade...

    The next three weeks

    Boy, he is the better psss rusher, for sure. But if you go after McSorley so hard that you overrun him, he will pop out of the pocket on that side and will be off to the races. And gouging us for big yardage. This is truly the one game where Hesse will shine, by setting the edge and keeping...

    PSU -5

    With the trouble PSU has had against lesser teams this year I am not nearly as worried about this game as I was when I saw the schedule at the beginning of the year. If the Hawks come out hungry and with the same chip on their shoulder that they have shown since the loss to Wisky, I think we...

    Key to the PSU Game....Make McSorely...well....Sore?

    Another thing I would like to see is getting a few more Knockdowns. While we have been able to knock down a pass or 2 every game this year, I think we did a better job of it last year. IIRC we had 5 or 6 against McSorley last year. With our size, when we cannot get to him on a pass play, we...

    Updating Where Things Stand for Hawkeyes in 2019 Recruiting

    Didn’t most of the boilers targets in the passing game go to Rondale Moore? I suppose I would, too, if I were Rondale’s coach, but still... Bell could be (would be?) a Star right away at Iowa.

    Gary Barta is the greatest!

    It looks like the Volleyball coach he hired recently is a big step up. Also, the Field Hockey women are winning regularly now and might be in the rankings. Obviously these are minor sports, but it looks like he is hiring quality coaches. Also, I have heard that the new softball coach is...

    University of Auburn Jet parked in Des Moines

    Someone mentioned how it was “against the rules,” to talk to another coach, etc... Bahahahaha! As if Auburn ever cared about any rules.

    Injury Update

    I think OJ got picked on by a Hornibrook in the 4th qtr and got beat several times. Moss was picked on at MN, but he eventually came back and won his match-ups later on. The TD he gave up at Indiana, he actually had his forearm up inside the WR’s arms but just couldn’t dislodge it. I think...
