    Iowa vs Nebraska Game Thread

    It blows my mind why we don't target Tevon Smith more. Everyone complains we don't have any playmakers. He's a play maker but we never look to get him the ball. But then again, that would mean possibly passing on first down and our QB actually making a good throw. Our offense and QB are such...

    Iowa vs Nebraska Game Thread

    Have we thrown the ball on 1st down at all today? Our QB and play calling are awful.

    Canzeri

    I agree. I thought the running backs looked good as long as they ran between the tackles. Like Matt Millen said, we did not have the speed to run outside the tackles. But inside the tackles, I thought the O-line and an undersized Canzeri looked good. Makes me optimistic for next year...

    Should Iowa fans simply accept consistent mediocracy?

    Very well said. I have wondered the same thing all season. I remember this program had the attitude where they would wear down the opponent for 3 quarters and then beat them in the 4th because we were better conditioned than the opponent. The mindset of the program the last couple of years...

    For the Vandenberg Bashers

    One thing about JVB that has bugged me all season and I wonder if it plays into all the dropped balls by our receivers. What has bugged me is that all short to intermediate passes out of his hands are on a downward plane. I am not talking about the deep ball because I think he throws a nice...

    My wish list...

    I agree that there is something missing with the attitude of this program. Remember back to the year of "Break the Rock" or when we had the mindset that we will wear down an opponent over 3 quarters and in the 4th quarter we would take over the game? We have not seen that attitude for the last...

    I want a QB controversy next year

    I think Rudock will take over the #2 QB spot next year. And if JVB struggles at all, fans and media will be screaming for him to get his shot.

    The Rudock era HAS to start next season.

    I think Rudock will be 2nd on the depth chart next year. And if JVB struggles at all next year, you will hear fans screaming for Rudock.

    Makail McCall??

    It is my understanding that McCall will get a medical redshirt provided he doesn't see the field the rest of the season. So why burn that when we are barely bowl eligible? I agree with seeing Johnson or especially Canzeri since we did burn his redshirt. I don't get why either of those two...

    Nice win....but,

    First off, it was a good win today. The defense took the criticism of the week, worked hard and played well today. But I have to agree with the originator of this post. It should not have been close and we should have won by double digits. We left alot of points and plays on the field today...

    College FB is Changing: We need a mobile QB

    What do you call Coker rushing for over 250 yards? We just forgot about the run when we were inside Minn's 30 and with 2:30 left in the game.

    Norm's last year maybe?

    I have heard rumors on the local sports talk shows like this one. I have been a supporter of Norm's all along. But because of his health issues, it is my understand he is not as hands on as he has been in the past. I know he has not coached special teams in years and it really shows. I...

    College FB is Changing: We need a mobile QB

    I will agree with you partly. College FB has changed and we are too stupid/stubborn/etc to change and update to today's game especially on defense. I am not completely sure a mobile QB is the answer. Although, this is the first time in a long time that we have a QB that can't throw on the run.

    Miller: Low Point Loss

    I am completely on board with you. What happened to the Iowa teams that would take the field with a chip on their shoulder? The teams that knew that we would wear you down and in the 4th qtr you would be ours? I am just tired of hearing KF at news conferences saying "oh what a great team...

    Miller: Low Point Loss

    And for the most part I agree but I think we are all getting really tired of losing games that we should win. Grant it, it happens from time to time and that is why we watch sports. But with this program it is happening wayyy too often over the last few years.

    KF Offers Few Answers in Post Game Radio Interview

    Actually in my opinion, blunders like this are unacceptable.

    Ferentz says it again....

    Amen. I couldn't agree more. Why is that before every game it feels like we are playing the best team ever and we shouldn't be allowed to even be on the same field. We never play fired up or with any emotion. KF has NO killing instinct. Say what you want about about other coaches but I...

    A thread NOT calling for KFs job

    I think the reason why people are calling for a shake up in the coaching staff is because we are tired of getting out coached. Even with the 2 missed FGs we were ahead by 2 scores with a little more 8 mins left in the game. Weather you focus on being oblivious to the onside kick or not at...

    questions that need to be asked at Tuesday's Press Conference

    I became clear to me after the Iowa State game that this coaching staff is TERRIBLE at making in game adjustments. They are good during the week and developing players but if the game does not go according to their game plan, we are in trouble. How do you not defend against the onside kick...

    Don't call out coaches

    I will call out the coaching staff. How do you not see that onside kick coming? Just because KF wouldn't do it doesn't mean that at least half of the other coaches in the country wouldn't. At the very least you guard against it because if we get the ball back we ram it down their throats and...
