    It is about X&O's and spacing.

    If you flank out 4 recievers they have to take 4 players out minimum for coverage and maybe the safeties have to play out a little farther from the line of scrimage as well. I saw last week Ohio State flank out 5 recievers on first and goal.

    Iowa Has some Talent Issues

    We all know what the problem is John. Unless Kirk is stacking all the good players on defense there has been a wide disparity in perfomance rankings between the defense and the offense and the same is true this year. His offense lacks creativity and is very predictable. First and goal from the 3...

    It is about X&O's and spacing.

    The failure of not scoring a touchdown on first and goal from the three yard line has nothing do with execution. This has been an ongoing problem for many years that has cost many games. The odds of success especially against competition that is equal or better than you diminishes greatly with...

    Iowa on ESPNU again, 3 times in last 6 games

    What is up. I spend a lot of money on cable and I don't get ESPNU. On the Big Ten network they have had gymnastics, women's basketball, and tonight they don't have a mens doubleheader but a womens and a mens game. I would like to know how many times Ohio State and Michigan State have played on...

    Next year doesn't seem too bad.

    Is this based on KOK staying. If so you are wrong.

    Struggiling offense

    Jon posted a good article about the long term troubles of the offense but did not really want to speculate as to why. One of the problems over the years despite having a strong running game when it comes to crunch time when they are 3rd or 4th and one they fail. There are 3 reasons IMHO for...

    Iowa's Offensive Numbers Don't Add Up

    Great article Jon. I love your table on offensive ratings compared to the national. You should put the defensive rankings as well and I bet we average in the top 20. The question I would like to ask Ferentz and it is somewhat sarcastic. Your offense consistantly ranks in the bottm 50% and your...

    Darboh article

    I doubt if we will miss him that much the way our passing game is set up around the running game. On 85% of our offensive plays we have two wide outs or less.

    Is KOK the offensive coach for basketball too?

    The free throw shooting was outstanding and turnovers were reasonable. Drop the full court pressure this year as it is evident it is hurting us more than it is helping.

    Iowa the last 5 years

    Good Lord yourself.KF is the 7th highest paid coach in the country and the highest paid in the big ten expectations should be high. Until this years win Northwestern had KF number and Fitzgerald makes 1/4 KF's salary. I am sorry but you can not seperate money and performance in evaluating or...

    Iowa the last 5 years

    I assure you Iowa University isn't paying him 3 and 1/2 million year to finish in the middle of the pack. It doesn't bother me whatsoever to have an off year but this coaching staff costs us on average two losses a year not the players. Last year was the fake punt with Wisconsin that lost us...

    Iowa the last 5 years

    Why don't you post the coach's salaries of each of those programs and then we can make a judgement. My biggest problem with KF is when he plays not to lose we usually lose. If were going to lose lets go down swinging.

    McNutt, the Nebraska defense

    No one shut down McNutt, Nebraska's pass defense was set up don't let Marvin beat us. He was double teamed on his long routes, escorted by a safety. The problem was Okeefe doesn't use that to our advanatge. Put out more recievers with some speed not two tight ends, create some match up problems...

    End of an era for this coaching staff....

    Not only does his offensive strategy not work with teams equal to or better as far as talent but it is plain boring to watch. When I can sit in the stands and call the plays with about 90% accuracy they have a serious problem. I gave up my season tickets after the 1997 year as Hayden was running...

    Questions I would like to ask our coaches

    I take exception to your analysis that McNutt was single teamed most of the day. On any of his longer routes he was also escorted by a safety. Where are the rest of our recievers. Do we have any underclassman and why aren't they being used?
