Definitely. Schlicher was 8-19 for his career from 40+ yards and had a very disappointing senior year (13-20 after being named preseason All-American). He never missed a field goal under 30 yards on 20 career attempts. But anything outside of 37/38 yards was a coin toss at best.

Ohio State took a 52-34 lead with less than 8 minutes left in that game and forced Indiana to punt on their ensuing drive. Kudos to Indiana for scoring a couple of touchdowns with under two minutes left (one enabled by recovering an onside kick), but that game was nowhere near as close at the...

Iowa State deserves to be ranked in my book. Their two losses were against quality opponents, and they have two solid road wins (TCU and Iowa). With a couple of their future opponents in chaos mode, they have a chance to get to 8-4 and 7-5 would not be a surprise at all. In other news, Northern...

And even if he doesn't struggle, as long as he puts up 35+ passes I like the odds of us getting at least one..

McGloin has 2 interceptions on 221 passing attempts, which is an incredible run that almost has to end soon. Just to compare, Seth Doege has 7 picks on 225 attempts, Braxton Miller has 4 on 159 attempts, and Matt Barkely has 6 on 193. I don't care how well he's playing; when you put it up that...

I'm not buying on Penn State yet. They look a lot like Iowa, except that I'd argue that Iowa has shown more with wins against Minnesota and at Michigan State. PSU had a nice win against Northwestern at home and they beat an Illinois team on the road that will be lucky to win four games...

It's actually kind of hard to believe that this thread is only two and a half years old. That was a dark time, but it already feels like it was so long ago. Pretty amazing what Fran has been able to do in 30 months.

Note to thejumper and those who picked Minnesota: New Hampshire is an FCS team and so Minnesota should not be eligible this week. And could Jon or someone else with mod power please delete the above post by HOKSRDABEST and ban his IP? He's ruined the formatting of this thread and made it...

Week 1: Arizona Week 2: Arkansas

Thanks for organizing, jumper5. Just curious-- how many players remain?

Right off the top of my head, I can think of 66 games in the Ferentz era that were worse.

Even when we weren't in no huddle, the offense was up at the LOS with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock pretty much every play. A huge step up from the KOK era. I'll take that sort of energy over a bunch of sideline antics any day.

I stopped reading at this point. Seriously, what game were you watching?

Great post, Cover3. To point #4, according to Dochterman that was the result of a package play, where JVB went to the line with a run and a pass called and had to read and choose the right one. Obviously he had his struggles yesterday, but that was a great call by him, and it's exciting that...

Please stop.

I just don't think you can throw out everything we've seen in the past after one poor game. No one can predict the future, but the weight of evidence (last year, history under KF) suggests that we're going to be a bit more competent on offense than what we saw today.

Except they won't. Up 43-0 and still throwing.

3,000+ yards. 25 TDs. 7 INTs. Man, some of these threads are going to be fun to bump later in the year.

Iowa -4.5

What will it take to make some of you happy? We went no huddle. We went shotgun. We went empty backfield. We had five wide. JVB threw 34 times. We went for a 4th down and made it. How much more aggressive do you want to be? The reality is that the players have to make the plays. If you want...
