The play might've been defensible if the Iowa defender didn't have his back to the play.

Good comeback. I'd have added KF would've added 'that's not the right way to play the game.'

That winning touchdown for jNW was horrid pass technique by Iowa's pass defender. They don't teach pass defense technique at Iowa. They teach how to cover ground.

Iowa's pass defense has always sucked. Sucked playing Purdue. Sucked playing Minnesota. Sucked playing Northwestern. Pass defense technique is not taught. What irony that Iowa's DC used to be the inept HC of the secondary. You are correct that the offense has its problems. Both sides of...

Iowa has a QB coach for the first time. The lack of QB coaching shows...even now. Why isn't an Iowa QB taught to step up in the pocket when protection begins to break down and keep the head up for a receiver? Why isn't the Iowa QB taught to fake defenders with pump, head and eye fakes...

The SF fans need to back him more. The SF head coach needs to back him more. Winning will solve all those problems. CJ needs to learn how to slide when he's running. CJ needs to maneuver himself better in the pocket. Keep his head up for possibility of pass even when defensive linemen are...

The 49er's played junk defense for most of the game after the 1st drive by the Pack. Reminded me of a diamond-and-one-type of defense in basketball mass-covering Rodgers. Blitzed the ends, kept Rodgers in the pocket and played man-on-man coverage on the outside. It worked for stretches of...

Nebby fan base won't accept anything less.

That'll be the game we'll get, unfortunately.

Referring to Franklin's reaction, PSU's fanbase is nothing like Iowa's fanbase. I think someone inferred this as well. I'll leave it at that.

That's Hawk-speak for BF has a very good pedigree.

Maybe Barrett and Wadley weren't unpatriotic enough?

See the previous post, number 23. If players aren't making the system successful (execution?), make changes to make the system successful. - That's the Iowa mantra -. So, I guess Iowa does make situational changes to the game plan and rarely does so because of an athlete's skill set.. Also...

Ehh.. KF believes in the system and not the situation...

Some of the 2 stars that made it at Iowa (some Iowa 'stars' were no stars) are 2 stars because they are evaluated at the position they were in high school. Jackson, if memory serves, was evaluated as a 2 star, 2-way QB prospect from Texas, the position he played in high school. As a DB...

Can you place your allegiance behind 'NFL U' (Iowa) ? Is that more important than success in college? I don't think so. It seems most 'highly-touted' high schoolers don't think so, either.

Creating shots. Dishing. Excellent ball handling. Those are the most important qualis for PG, IMO. I'm sure Pete Maravich wasn't a PG in college (too much height to be a PG in those days, I suspect) but he'd make an excellent PG, IMO. Even though you think I think scoring isn't all that...

What I mean is both jBo and Carton are, IMO, SG and not PG...as was R.D. Marble not a PG...as was Paige, the Iowa high school player, who played college for the Tar Heels not a PG. King James is not a PG. Your best shooter and scorer may be your PG but your best creator and disher certainly...

Probably one more thing going against Boyle in his career at Iowa. The staff wanted him to be a WR and he said nope after one season. I wonder how hard he tried to become a 'successful' WR? There are football programs that covet a QB with, at least, as much talent in their legs as their arm...

To be fair (and I know this was from the Hayden regime), Chuck Long was a dual-threat QB when he was recruited from Wheaton, Illinois. IMO, it's no wonder why Long was a recruiting gem for Iowa. Did he ever really have any playmaking ability with his legs? Was he injured somewhere between...
