Hope you are correct of course but the general hype abt the guy has me worried. That said, I don't have the slightest idea about frost's work (other than the fact that he won a NT for ucf this past year.) So could you or anyone expand a bit more on the different direction/b1g-incompatibility...

If KF pulls him out and he doesn't finish the game, I think cj's stock for the draft takes a hit. That's what I think and suspect both cj and KF must've considered this possibility even though it won't get a mention.

Yep. And Wyoming will also completely sellout to stop the run at least in the first Q. It will be interesting to see how BF and NS cope.

34. Wadley produces 21-yards on 15-carries, Butler the rest on 10-carries. 1.4 ypc. Think it can't happen?

His comment on wanting to avoid the elements seems somewhat backwards to me. I would think it's fine to be in the booth in good weather but in cold/windy conditions being on the sidelines probably gives the best feel for calling appropriate plays. That's just me. I am imagining a bonechilling...

I also fall in the camp that doesn't expect many plays with both these guys on the field together. Remember that both these guys can catch, that is the reason to be excited. It's not like you aren't putting pressure on the D with just one of them. You'll see them mostly rotate and stay fresh /...

Run defense will be the key to this season. If we find two mighty DTs to clog the middle, and lbs who wrapup time and again, this will be a season littered with victories. The D will almost certainly need to carry the team for the first few games but after that the brain's O will come into its...

Like the confidence, he seems like the type of qb that kok utilizes very well -- accurate thrower with mobility. Surprising that the young man thinks Stanzi was the last qb to lead a prominent Iowa team. I suppose he's just sucking up to okeefe.

Really looking forward to Smith becoming a guy who turns 3rd and longs into sure first downs. That said, apparently (it was news to me) one of the other incoming freshmen (marsette) averaged 40-yards per completion over an entire season. Add in Easley, Cooper, mvb as mr. reliable types, I can't...

A lot depends on how long Brian has been thinking about his type of offense and how clear he is about deploying it. Is it learn as you go or is he far more mature than his years would indicate? Furthermore, from KOK's remarks, they are yet to even begin constructing the playbook and...

I would love to see a complete list of fallback offers for 2012 through 2015. Fallback offers aren't simply the low rated guys (like Jewel) who end up in the class but the guys we offer and snag in January (like King and CJB). I would look up myself if I knew how to.

I do like both Ferentzes but when it comes to contracts they play everyone like nobody's business (and there's nothing wrong with that, just wish a guy like Barta wasn't on the receiving end.) The reason I bring this up is -- it is fairly certain now why Rob Howe was granted that recent 1-1...

I'm not saying that GD is an excellent OC, nor that he is perfect for Iowa but I do believe that he is not far from being a perfect fit for Iowa teams under KF. In the losses this year, the common denominators were lack of identity on offense and inability to stay on the field (ie no breathers...

Might be a coincidence but the number of wins secured to date by Wisky's defeated opponents is also 11. One difference being that Wisky has alre,ady locked up their Michigan loss.

KF's remarks from his latest press conference: "I think to this day if Micah had played offense, he would have been our all-time leading receiver. I believe that. I don't think he'd be playing in the NFL right now. Maybe he would. It wouldn't surprise me." Hypothetical scenario: Assume that...

If the team is unified and spirited, it could still be a good season ahead. I think Parker will play attacking (risky) D going forward. He has learned from msu and ndsu that it's foolish to get beaten up black and blue on long timeconsuming drives. He showed that against Rutgers. So we may...

Surprised to see an official announcement, that too day after the injury occurs. Could the new3 kirk be screwing with his next opponent?

These programs aren't going to flip him barring some off-the-field disaster. That said, Iowa needs to have a good season to defend this class from blue chips from swooping in in feb.

The ndsu loss wasn't end of the world but if there are team chemistry issues at play it may be time to start worrying about the season. This looked to be a good year to get to indianapolis too. I wonder if the king chewed out the coaches after their lackluster performance.

I do think Phil Parker's defensive tendencies (not to mention GD's offense is a bit different from KOK's was) have evolved significantly compared to when he took over. Also last year KF was (to me anyway) new-Kirk. What we saw yesterday however in the 4th was vintage prehistoric Kirk. All...
