Not to mention, Iowa is roughly middle of the pack in terms of depth of target, certainly not the bottom of the B1G:
Backup QB

I would say we take most of our deep-shots off of PA constraint plays. eg CJB to Tevaun in the 2015 B1GCG.

you should never use the word “never”
I’m married. I know.
Of course we throw the ball 15+ yds downfield.
Sometimes Nate does that on 8 yd routes all by himself
(okay, cheap joke at NS’s expense — I really like the kid. I’ve met him and have a nephew that played on the same HS FB team. Says he is a really good guy.)

In a hypothetical National Championship game who do you want out there? Brad Banks or a Chuck Long?
I’ll take Long as long as Harmon isn’t in the backfield. If Harmon is in the game then I will take Banks. Need to move the ball on the ground instead of dropping the ball on the ground.

I’ll take Harmon (and Long) all day long. Best Iowa RB in my lifetime. Watched the 1v2 matchup of Iowa-Mich. Dude was running over people and around people.In a hypothetical National Championship game who do you want out there? Brad Banks or a Chuck Long?

His last (horrible) game at Iowa does not a career make.

Ronnie Harmon only drops the ball when Whitey Bulger is betting the under.
That's ok. Maybe he won't try to take every WR/TE's head off from 4 yds..
Could be wrong but my guess is he means the Petras vs Hogan battle.
Help me out, what does "constraint" refer to in this context?

He was on shark watch, sending those devils to death's door with pinpoint highly volatile strikes.....

He was an awesome running back who some thought had to pay off some debts. I personally try to give everyone the benefit of a doubt.
He had quite a colorful personality from people that were into the bar seen in Iowa City. He used to roam around the bars in Iowa City dressed like a pimp, with a beautiful white girl in each arm. He loved attention and was very loud in public. Actually a very likable personality.
He should have invested in some stick-em before the Rose Bowl.
me like use big words
So a constraint play is basically the one you hold in your pocket until the perfect timing.
That's running zone right 10-15 times in the first half, to the point that the safeties are biting hard to stop the run, and even succeeding a few times. So, you get into a situation where your tendencies say you're going to run said play, for example 2nd and short, 1st and 10, or so on, and you hit them with the PA designed off of said play, and bam, you should have a winner.
It's literally just setting up a certain play to a T. It's not something you're going to run 4-5 times per game, but once or twice.

His personality got toned down quite a bit when he and Quinn Early had a bit of a "confrontation"

My brother and one of my close friends used to frequent the bars in Iowa City. One night they were in a bar and several Iowa wrestlers were in there. In walks the twin towers Stokes and Payne and a couple of their friends. Something happened and suddenly the basketball players and the wrestlers got into an argument and it escalated into a fist fight. Because the basketball players had a huge advantage in arm reach Greg and Mike way laid the wrestlers, lol.

I would say that even with the arm advantage those two never caught me as guys I would want to mess around with. Maye it is just me but watching sports from the 70s, 80s and even early 90s the toughness is unmatched and is something that doesn't exist at the same level today.
In my opinion there are very few players today that would be able to go back and play in those eras while many of the guys from back then could play and would play well just because the mental toughness and drive was there. I think a lot of the societal issues have really toned things down as well as the coaching.
If anyone watched the ESPN docu-series the other night after The Miami game it was really interesting talking about where football came from in terms of physicality and the attitudes of coaches. I can't even imagine if some of these players today had to go back in time for one practice and be under Woody Hayes.
Putting a lot of stock in a kid who plays in a division slightly better than JV football in Texas to walk in and make the speed adjustment.
