Dear Kirk

We can expand this even further.....

Take a look at Paul Rhoad's decision to punt on 4th and 6 inches on our side of the field.....what was the result of that for us? A touchdown. Narduzzi does the same thing.....4th and inches on our side of the field.....end result for us? Touchdown. How many times in the past 15 years has the roles there been reversed? Too many to count. It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change and it's awesome to see the aggressiveness at the end of halves and end of games.

Honestly, the haters just need to take the blinders off and realize that we aren't playing with the same deck as we were playing with the last 15 years. The run game is different, the pass game is different, the going for it on 4th down is different, the aggressiveness at the end of halves and games is different, and honestly the clock management is different (and better).....it's been a complete overhaul in concepts and it's directly led to 2 wins in the first 3 games that we would have lost in 90% of previous years. Maybe you guys should just learn to applaud it.

Don't forget personnel decisions. If the staff didn't change up a lot of things this year there is a very good chance we would be 1-2. I've said before but I'll say it again. A more aggressive Kirk is the best coach iowa could ask for. We don't even have an extremely talented team this year and he is still undefeated.

For what it's worth I heard on a podcast that CJ said he was keeping a close eye on the clock and dropped down on purpose. That means 3 seconds could have gained him more yardage.

Yeah I'm glad we changed our punt formation so it could make it easier for 6 people from the other team to block a punt!
