    Will Iowa ever have a QB that can throw

    Gronowski has some talent but he is j u st not a good passing QB. Been a long time since we have had one.

    They almost have to postpone the game??

    On National news tonight the massive rain storm was a big story. They are talking floods mud slides with rain totals over 3.5 inches in LA area. Just seems likely they maybe delay it ?

    Weather Saturday

    Was checking out a preview of game and they said forecast was heavy rain Fridayand Saturday. Although warmer Ordinarily I would say helps Iowa but with the tough loss eliminating us from the race and Iowa’s west coast history not sure it matters

    It’s a game of inches

    Iowa state catches a tipped pass and kicks a long field goal. Oregon complete S a 30 yard pass with great coverage perfect pass So close to a great year Now likely lose at USC. Beat Michigan State and set up yet another Big game with Nebraska to get us to the usual 8 wins

    Indiana and Oregon

    Teams just a level above the Hawks. Great teams make plays when game is on line and both went the distance with less than 2 minutes to win Oregon just is a well financed quality program. Indiana is the biggest Anomaly I have seen in college football

    Keys to the game today

    I guess most would say turnovers on a bad weather day might be the difference Iowas ability to run the balll Stop Oregon making the big play. Speed might be the difference I have to ask the question again. If Iowa wins the toss does Ferentz take the ball

    Good win for sure and tough schedule ahead

    Can we beat the Oregons and USC with the passing attack we have? Gronowski has undoubtedly had a positive impact on our running game but our passing game is abysmal

    How do you pick it tonight??

    Penn State has good players. I think most would agree better than Iowa. Penn State is starting a Freshman QB with no experience and a new Head Coach. They are coming off of f 2 of the worst defeats ever at Penn State and playing a good Iowa Team on the road at a tough place to play. Maybe in...

    To defer or not??

    Ferentz almost always takes the ball when winning toss. Seems like most want to defer Just curious what you think? I guess if I were Ferentz with a pretty tough defense I might want to start out playing defense.

    So is it all Money and NIL?

    Of course it’s a huge factor but some might think it’s everything. So if it is someone explain Indiana I doubt they have scads of money out there buying 5 star players. Clearly not the case. So how did they become one of the best college football teams in the country in 2 short years at a...

    Do we have 2 turnovers in 5 games

    I don’t think we have recovered a fumble yet this year. Hard to believe with what most say is a great DL. Hard to win if you keep losing the turnover battle

    At the game some take aways

    In the club North Endzone. Good place to be but $25 for a coors light and Zeltzer. Worse than baseball games Great crowd start to finish 1 turnover. I think that makes 2 in 5 games. With such a heralded DL I don’t think we have recovered a fumble in 5 games. Passing attack never goes...

    McCarney honorary Captain

    My son saw him in hotel last night and said he was a bit less mobile than when he coached. I think he is 72. Did a good job at Iowa State and as an assistant to Fry as part of one of maybe the best staffs ever put together. Certainly at Iowa

    Big plays of game

    A few including the perfect pass and catch for 40+ late. But maybe the biggest was the Defensive holding call that kept our late TD drive alive. They missed a few including the one early which was clearly PI. But at least they didn’t miss the one that counted. He really called our receiver

    Tough day for Kaleb

    Botched a kickoff that rolled into the end zone for a touchdown that turned the game around. Apparently he was not sure of the rule when touching the ball that then goes into end zone?

    Couple of Surprises

    Not really surprised by offense I expected passing game to look better against a far inferior team and it did. But not great. Receivers had some drops and QB play was good at start but not real consistent. Defense not a surprise as they usually play well and did Surprised at the special team...
