Feel free to discuss, if you think this is a relevant comparison. In 2017 Iowa had a stout defense and an offense with some serious questions. The offensive line had two untested underclassmen tackles in red shirt freshman Aleric Jackson and true freshman Tristan Wirfs. The center of the line...

They shattered the trophy while celebrating in the locker room. "I’m not under oath, so I don’t know if I have to speak," head coach Paul Chryst said. "Just wanted everyone to have a piece of that trophy." LOL

Apparently a couple of state employees counting Bighorn sheep out in Utah spotted a strange monolith out in the middle nowhere. Reaction was "What the hell was that. Lets have a look." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU0i9VvPmoY

From the second day of the NFL draft. It's the live Bill Belichick draft cam shot.

Sagarin has Iowa at #14. This includes Jan 2 games. I moves Iowa up one spot past Utah. ESPN's FPI numbers have Iowa at #15 and don't yet reflect the outcome of the Utah vs. Texas game. (Other drive based rankings such as S&P+, FEI and ESPN FPI haven't been updated for any of the bowls yet.)...

I happen to like the current East- West divisions even though they are lopsided, but there may come a point when something else has to be tried. Here is the scenario. 5-6 years from now Rutgers and Maryland get totally fed up with having no chance in a division with Ohio State, Penn State...

Ranking Indexes and Other Assorted Nonsense. Just for fun, for anyone interested. The number after the wins-losses is the raw index number. The next three ratings are offense, defense, and special teams. The combined index number is a weighted average of the offensive, defensive and special...

Bye week couldn't come at a better time. Followed by another tune up game against Middle Tennessee State. Iowa's defense badly needs the next three weeks to try remedy a number of issues. It's a chance to get the defensive secondary healthier. Hankins and Brents can take their time coming...

On switching from RT to LT. "It's kind of like wiping your butt with the other hand when you first start doing it,” Wirfs said. “It just feels awkward. That might be too much information, but that's kind of what it is. Once you settle in, you feel pretty good.” Apparently he's ambidextrous too.

Quarterback McClane Carter is a senior transfer came up through Texas Tech and Tyler JC. He started at Tyler JC in 2016 as a redshirt freshman, passing for 3,226 yards and 30 touchdowns in just nine games. He transferred to Texas Tech in 2017, served as a backup and started a game toward the...

According to this 247 Sports article, Iowa is the second youngest team in the Big Ten. Only Purdue is younger. The count is of those players on rosters as of August 1. https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Big-10-Football-2019-Youngest-Oldest-Teams-Experienced-134053658/#134053658_2

For what it is worth, this is now a veteran group off offensive coaches. There are no new offensive coaches this year. They also have a two year starter at quarterback. None of the coaches should be learning Iowa's system for the first time through, and they should have a few things figured out...

I'll make this easy. Just name a unit or position and discuss its strengths and weaknesses. What are your expectations for next year?

Was just thinking how the team might be preparing for the bowl matchup. I think it is safe to assume that the defense will spend a considerable amount of time preparing for Mississippi State's running game. Specifically, their running quarterback. It fits right in with preparing Iowa's...
