Charlie Jones

No... Other issues the last of which was receiver position. IL...maybe.

You heard of screen plays, slants, quick outs? There were ways to get a playmaker like Jones the ball.

I don't think Jones on the team gets us more than one extra win. He can't fix the OL or the QB, and our QB didn't make him look like anything more than average.

Don't get ahead of yourself...we played another dog shit team from the big ten west. Iowa was less shitty than Purdue today....nothing more

Go away

Yes for sure. For a normal OC. Told ya'll all would be good again if back to 7 or 8 wins.

I wouldn’t go that far but Iowa had no business losing those 2 games. Iowa State is terrible and Illinois isn’t much better.

on the flip side had Iowa won those 2 games then it’s Iowa winning the way Iowa wins and no one gives a shit on how horrible BF has been.

You are what your records says it is. The O was that bad then. Which is what is so frustrating. KF knew how to fix it.

I dont think people realize how few plays we needed to make against Illinois to be leading the west right now.

This is why I think a playmaker like Jones could have made the difference even as horrible the line was in that game.

The final score was 6-9. Of course it would have made a difference. We could control our own destiny right now.

Then don’t let the back up quarterback make plays against you and get out of there with a 6-3 win.

 

[Iceman]

He did what was best for him and no way can I fault him on that.

Dude made huge plays returning kicks and punts while at Iowa. I for one appreciate his contributions while at Iowa. Thank you C Jones

I had to listen to Iowa-Illinois on the radio. Didn't Iowa have a TD called back? Eddy P was real pissed at the call. Was call correct?

i don’t think Charlie Jones gets Iowa any more wins if he is on the team. Oline is the major issue. Once Petras gets time to throw he isn’t that dang bad. Plus getting the running game going helps.

Yes it was.

 

[justwinbaby]

No one can predict if CJ would have been able to get us 2 more wins but there’s a decent chance that he could have especially with his ability to get yardage in the return game. I was definitely cheering for him to get hammered every time he got the ball. That being said his transfer definitely looks like the best decision for him.

Scott,
You are correct, with 30 mph winds running the ball was the difference
