Charlie Jones and all of his yards.
How did that work out for him today!

He'll have the last laugh when he has NFL opportunities he never would have had out of Iowa, but goodness gracious does it feel good to see Iowa do to Purdue what Purdue usually does to Iowa.

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

Can't blame a guy with that kind of talent for not sacrificing a chance at pro career for an inept offensive coordinator in the name of the team. Tracy on the other hand? Give him as much shit as you want.

Can we stop w/ this Iowa would be this or that if they had jones. Jones would not have improved the way the OL was playing the first half of the season or the way Petras was playing the first half of the season. So what, Iowa may have had another 40 additional return yds with jones that would not have added pts to a putrid offense.

You don't think he could have helped beat Illinois? Look how much Vines and Ragaini have helped.

I’m on board with this as well. I don’t think the light bulb turns on for this offense any sooner if CJ stuck around.

Nope, Iowa would likely be 7-2 with Jones. He would have added quite a bit to the offense, especially due to the line issues.

No. Jones, vines, or nico doesn’t improve the OL or Petras’ lack of accuracy

Does that have to do with Ragini and Vines returning or does that have to do with the improvement of Petras and the o-line?

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

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

Reminds me of the night we went to Columbus in 2019 and ran into wind and sideways rain near Champaign-Urbana and Bloomington.
Stopped to get gas in LeRoy Illinois at the Loves station and the wind about ripped the driver's side door out of my hands.

Good win. Charlie would have helped immensely especially when guys were hurt. Good luck to him. OC didn’t convince him it was worth staying and for him he was right. He gave us a lot of fun moments. Go hawks. Next week will tell the tale my friends.

Just fine. He's the #1 on their team, Iowa was of course going to take that away. Still had 10 rec for 100 plus yards.
Iowa fanatics are weird.

I was actually thinking of you then. It was really windy. Nothing but wide open fields. On a clear night you can easily see lights 30 miles out from west of Champaign to Tuscola. Has a weird boring beauty about it way different that your area. About 20 years ago I could see twin funnels on a tornado just east of LeRoy. I was standing on an I 74 overpass where I live. We can see so far here it has never made sense to me to hunker down during tornadoes during the day.
