    IowaLaw's Noticing a Trend in the 2021 Recruiting Class

    Up until the past week, there had been a lot of enthusiasm with the way Iowa recruiting had been going. Many have called this class potentially the best in Kirk's 20+ years on campus. Rivals has recently had them rated in the nation's top 10. With that said, I am noticing a discouraging...

    What Happens When Brian Ferentz Gets Suspended?

    There is a press conference coming up that will likely result in the termination of Chris Doyle. Most of the disgruntled former players and Wadley's mom also believe that Brian Ferentz, the epitome of "white privilege," needs to receive punishment as well. We know Kirk's not going to fire the...

    Iowa Law Was Right on Preferential Treatment

    I hate what is going on in the program this week. However, Ferentz and staff have always had a problem with black athletes who played with "swagger" for decades and IowaLaw often pointed it out...only to be bashed as a "troll" or "cyclone fan" by fans and this site's moderators alike. In the...

    Nate Stanley Confirms: "IowalawWasRight on QB Development"

    It's been said over the years that Iowa develops elite OL, DBs, TEs and DL. But when it comes to quarterbacks, fans scratch their heads at the lack of improvement shown by QBs over the years. In fact, arguments have been made that QBs actually regress. While the stats for multi-year starters...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Analysis: Holiday Bowl

    A 49-24 win against a blue blood to cap off a 10 win season is the best way to ease the pain of going the next 8 months without Hawkeye football. While the refs randying around didn't do Iowa any favors, having USC down to their 3rd string QB was a huge break. Perhaps most encouraging is who...

    IowaLaw's 2019 Final Report Card: Defense/Special Teams

    The Hawks finished 9-3 and are headed to the Holiday Bowl despite having one of the worst offenses in the nation (#98 out of 130 schools). This was made possible by one of the best defenses in the Kirk Ferentz era. So how did they stack up? In short, they were dominant. Iowa ranked #12 in...

    IowaLaw's 2019 Final Report Card: Offense

    The regular season is over and the Hawks are sitting at 9-3, with a mid-level bowl game to look forward to. Three close losses, and several close wins. All in all, the season played out as the prognosticators predicted, with zero upset wins and zero shocking losses. It's now time for the...

    IowaLaw's Post-Game Analysis: Minnesota

    A 23-19 win against an undefeated top 10 team salvaged the season for the Hawks. Wins against lowly Illinois and Nebraska will set this team up for a 10 win season...and extremely rare accomplishment at Iowa. 1. Tyler Goodson - Vindication for those of us who feel Kirk has a history of...

    IowaLaw's Hawkeye Awards Watch List

    With 4 games left and a Big 10 west title long out of reach, it's time to hone in on those who have stepped up to make this team what it is, and those who have not. MVP - Keith Duncan. For the first time in the Ferentz era, the best player on the team is it's place kicker. 19/19 on PATs and...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Analysis: Northwestern

    The Hawks spoiled 1-6 Northwestern's homecoming with a 20-0 victory. The defense pitched their 4th conference shutout in 2 years (the most in all of college football), but a competent offense probably should have put up more points (hell, Michigan State scored 31 against them). 1. DL...

    Common Sense Question For Staff on Martin

    Most objective Hawk fans are puzzled why 4 star Oliver Martin, who had 11 receptions as just a freshmen at WR heavy Michigan last year, and according to coach Harbaugh would have started there this year, is averaging something like 3 snaps per game at Iowa, where the WR corp is much improved...

    IowaLaw's Post-Game Analysis: Purdue

    Well, the Hawks were double digit favorites against a 2 win team playing without its star WR and star QB...and escaped with a 26-20 win. It wasn't pretty, and it was too close for comfort, but a win is a win. The Hawks remain in contention for the Big 10 west title, thanks in part to our...

    The Invisible Problem With Iowa's Offense

    Has anyone noticed how virtually every QB we go up against walks up to the line of scrimmage and still has 20 seconds left on the play clock. That gives him plenty of time to carefully scan the field, spot blitzes, make sure their guys are lined up, and audible when needed. Then spend a few...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Analysis: Penn State

    Two tough losses in 7 days will drop Iowa out of the national conversation, but is all lost? Both games were against top 15 teams, and both games were winnable up until the final seconds. Based on the talent level on this roster, Iowa will still be favored to win each remaining game on the...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Review: Michigan

    Ouch. In what some were touting as Iowa's biggest game since the Big 10 Championship, you would think boy wonder Brian would have spent extra time this week drawing up a game plan to catch Michigan off guard. In stead, we scored a grand total of 3 points in a 10-3 loss. 1. Defense. The game...

    IowaLaw's Non-Conference Report Card

    The non-conference portion of the schedule is complete and the Hawks are 4-0 and ranked in the top 15 in the nation. While our opponents have not exactly been world beaters (none have beat a single power 5 team), the Hawks have unquestionably looked good and are a legit contender for a Big 10...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Report: Rutgers

    The Hawks are hitting their stride going into ISU week with a dominant 30-0 performance. Granted, it was against the Big 10's worst team, but there wasn't much randying around to improve upon this week. 3 of the next 4 games are against ranked opponents, so there's much work to be done. 1. We...

    IowaLaw's Post Game Report: Miami

    Solid start to the year after a ho-hum first half. 38-14 is more offense and less defense than expected. But what about the individual performances? 1. RB - Sargent appears to have elevated his game since last year's sub-par rushing attack. 14 carries for 91 yards is solid, but add in 4...

    IowaLaw's Objective 2019 Season Preview

    We are days away from kickoff. That means it's time for IowaLaw’s pre-season review! Homers and hillbillies, that’s your cue to immediately stop reading and go back to the threads about cool uniforms or how much you hate Nebraska. A pre-season Top 20 ranking is better than expected. Given...

    Did Iowa Bumble Another Waiver Petition w/ Oliver?

    We all remember what a travesty the Drew Ott situation was. The guy burned a red shirt playing a hand full of snaps his freshmen year, then plays a few games (injured) his senior year. He applied for an extra year of eligibility, then was forced to sweat it out all the way until the NFL draft...
