So I'm starting to get really pumped up for football. With the Kids day practice today, I want to throw out a few "bold predictions" that I think could happen. Now I don't think all of these will happen, but I do fell a couple will take place this year. I am probably more bullish than some on this year. Anyway here are some "Bold Predictions".
1) Stanley throws for over 3000 yards and 26 TD's. He breaks Chuck Longs TD record at Iowa, and finishes up being 4nd in B1G career TD's.
2) Iowa goes 9-3 and win the West (10-2 if we can get out of Ames with a win).
3) Iowa's offense will average more PPG this year than last year. This would mean that Iowa will average more than 31 PPG for the 2nd consecutive year. Iowa has not averaged more than 30 PPG in back to back years for a long time. I have a site that goes back to 2009, and even the 2009 season (24 PPG) and the 2010 team (29 PPG) cracked the 30 PPG barrier. The 2015 team was the only other team in the past decade to average 30+ PPG. I kind of think Iowa has probably never averaged 30+ PPG in back to back years.
4) Iowa will have 3 WR that will catch more than 35 passes. You have to go back to 2011 for the last time Iowa had 3 WR catch 30 passes in a year (McNutt, Keenan Davis, and Martin-Manley).
5) This is be Iowa's best defensive line since 2010. Future pros off this years D line will include AJ, Gholston, Lattimore and Nixon. If we get quality depth contribution from some of the other players, this will be a top 10 national D line.
