We control our own destiny.

At first glance, I thought the title read "Who Will Transfer Tomorrow?" Sign of the Hawkeye times.

This is pretty good. I do think the NIU D was a bit unappreciated coming into the game. They were definitely good at pursuing the ball. But the hyperbole was strong.

That makes sense. I also think he's got a little B Wegher in him (hopefully just a little).

I thought Bill Ennis-Inge was from Blue Springs (KC).

Agreed

Bullock couldn't have been successful without good run blocking. Pass protection was an issue, and more specifically protecting vs. the blitz, which the RBs can share in some of the blame. Experience (and lots of film review) will help immensely. Very correctable; I'm optimistic yet. Thanks for...

I agree with Spider. They may not be NFL all pros, but Chandler and Humpal were great, and successful, Hawkeyes. I'll take that.

So much need for instant gratification in today's culture. NIU is pretty good, not great. This win was more about proving we could overcome ourselves. Regardless of the competition, I have doubts we could have done the past couple of years what we accomplished yesterday. That should be cause for...

I won't argue Alabama's current dominance. However, I believe we have enough evidence beyond this game on each to see a difference. DR is still a once-a-decade type of football player. Just think how unbelievable he'd be ifhe had a stronger passing threat because his running ability is far...

that Denard Robinson is as good a passer as Brad Banks was?

Re: Denard Robinson or James Vandenberg, Who�s Better? - rantsports I'm not overestimating BB's passing ability, but I think you are overestimating DR's. Take a look at HawkeyeHistorian's YouTube channel of the 2002 year games. Granted those only show the highlights. BB wasn't great with...

Re: Denard Robinson or James Vandenberg, Who�s Better? - rantsports That year we adapted well to utilize the skills of our personnel. That philosophy was contrary to our norm. I didn't say we wouldn't be good with DR. Obviously we would. It's just not our typical style of play that DR...

Always was disappointed that he left. He sounds like a mature, well-adjusted man. Good for him. I love his personal accountability. All too rare.

Re: Denard Robinson or James Vandenberg, Who�s Better? - rantsports We are a better team with JVB. They are a better team with DR. Both QBs match their team's current offensive philosophy well. Our current offensive philosophy is more similar to prototypical NFL standards, though we're...

I suspect you've got some tongue in your cheek here, but I'll debate anyway. If the rest of the season depends on this on game, I'd be worried. Historically (with a few exceptions) Ferentz-led teams recover nicelt from slow starts, especially with raw but talented youth.

30-13 Hawks win

The idea that we run to set up the pass is a common misconception. And we aren't as balanced in the run to pass ratio as most think.

As always, thanks for the link, HH.

I would guess the offensive adjustments in the passing game will be a bigger challenge than the defensive adjustments. CJF will be a key safety valve that could take the pressure off KD and the RBs. Interesting that he picked out Trinca-Passat to highlight. I guess he could have picked just...
