    Dealing with success

    Here's a different perspective. The one position this staff doesn't seem to be able to coach from is success. Not much for expectations last year, but the staff had the team up for the games and they felt they were never out of it. This year, when they are pre-season top 10, they lose in...

    Margin for error

    After thinking about the season, I don't want coaches fired or bowl invites declined. That's just "heat of the moment" type thinking. There is one thing I believe the coaches need to evaluate and that's why the margin for error on their teams is so razor thin all the time. Year after year...

    Saturday's game

    Just got a chance to watch it but listened to it on WHO. Most of this has probably been said, so forgive me. This game was like the anti-Michigan State game. Missing Arob was big in the red zone for several reasons. Coker missed at least one block in the second half that rushed Stanzi on...

    McNutt early in games

    Anyone notice that the first pass or two to McNutt, especially the quick screens across the middle, in any game tend to get popped up in the air or just be drops. I wonder if he gets too amped up for games. Once he gets that out of his system, though, he's got the best hands on the team. It...

    Big 10 this week

    1) Michigan cannot compete against actual Big10 teams. I mean those teams that play defense and grind it out on the ground. 2) I love the Hawkeyes, but we should take a page out of OSU's book on how to put away teams, step on their necks and not let them up. 3) For those that look...

    Bowl Practice

    Last year Iowa decided to get a little more serious about bowl practice and it sounded like guys like Mitch King really got down to business. They played really well and got a lopsided win against USC. Then, after a slow start against UNI this fall, they showed poise and toughness the entire...

    Center

    I see Woody Orne from Fairfield played on up SDSU. He apparently was pretty good up there. Does anyone know if he played center? Looked like he played center in HS. I was thinking he might have been brought in to help out after Eubanks graduates. Does Orne practice at center?

    Defense or lack thereof

    After watching Cincy play Florida, what are the chances Brian Kelly is smart enough to try and lure McCarney away from Florida? There's no head coaching future for him at Florida and Cincy proved Kelly spends very little effort on defense. Might be a pretty good fit.

    Media

    It really doesn't matter what the media says because we still have three games left. I get that. The articles are interesting but meaningless if we can't get it done over the next three weeks. However, it does seem odd to me that Iowa is a great story and there's more talk about how...
