    Rattler leaving Oklahoman: Shouldn't Iowa try to get him?

    Spencer Rattler removed Oklahoma from his social media. It looks like he's lost qb1 permanently and is headed to the NFL or transfer portal. Would it be worth getting him for 1 year?

    Looking ahead

    I think it's a given the Hawks beat MTS. Right now, Sagarin predictor has Iowa an 8 point dog to Michigan. 8 points is a lot for two ranked conference foes. Michigan hasn't shown me all that much to prove that it can score enough points to win the game. Their defense will certainly hold Iowa...

    Sagarin Predictions

    Iowa has a 69% chance to win this game - that's the lowest chance of any AP ranked favorite in his predictions this week. Hawkeyes have to come to play. I think this is one of the most complete teams through two games Iowa has ever fielded. Iowa State also has a really legitimate P5 team this...

    Performance and Development

    Something has been bugging me about college football for years. When I was a kid, not everyone that played football lifted weights. Some guys were big, sure, but they weren't monsters. If you look at even an average college team's raster now, all the kids are monsters. The height and weight...

    Kirk's coaching effect this year is a -4. https://collegefootballmatrix.wordpress.com/conferences/big-ten-conference/big-ten-coaching-net-game-effect/ That means, without Ferentz, CFB matrix projected Iowa at a 12 win season. Coaching Effect – Another one of our factor calculations. This is...

    Flip it around - Swap Rushing and passing

    My biggest complaint with the Ferentz era is that he has to win a particular way. If you had a running back that had 82 yards on 3 carries, would you stop giving them the ball? If you have a reciever that has 3 catches for 82 yards, you should throw it to them at least once a series. Every...

    Meaning of a Hawkeye Victory over Wisconsin

    Much has been made of losses this season. But what about a win vs. Wisconsin? If the Hawks can beat Wisconsin Saturday, what would it mean for the program and the season? It looked like the offensive line issues were figured out last Saturday against Purdue. If it continues, that would go a...

    The OFFICIAL Fire Kirk and Bart a thread!

    If you want a change, two things need to happen - Kirk needs to go and so does Barta. The goal of this thread is to keep it on the front page till they are gone. I support finding the best coach for the job. If you want them gone, put the thing you dislike the most about Kirkball: QB...

    No moral victories

    The defense played well enough to win. Lots of positives on that side of the ball. The offense, only shows up for a half, again. There were plenty of positives there, but the same issues - poor clock management on that failed two-point conversion; not going deep early in the game; inability to...

    Defensive Second Half

    As much as everyone is focusing on the QB battle, it is amazing how much better the defense was in the second half. The secondary in particular looks like a different team with Lomax in the game. And those safety blitzes to end the game looked brilliant. Yes, and Iowa gave up 435 total yards...

    Enough complaining, it's gameday!

    I am not a happy Hawkeye, but I am still a Hawkeye! I hope the players and coaches come out with chips on their shoulders and play like they have something to prove today and maul Pitt. Go Hawks!
