El Assico Cy-Hawk predictions

[HawkIowa44]

88 yards passing

I mean, did we have it good under Brian Ferentz

Other than the his running ability, Gronowski has been a worse signing than McNamara

 

[Sparky]

MG just doesn’t see the receivers or field. I think Lester is going to hurry up developing the other two QBs.

I thought he’d be better

And what makes you think Lester can do that if he can't help Gronowski who this staff talks about like he's the second coming?

 

[Garandx]

No

He is the reason that they are in this cycle and can’t get out of it.

KIRK is the reason they are in this cycle.

 

[dagdaj]

Iowa State has a very favorable schedule. They may be favored in all remaining games. They have a good shot to make the field of 12

We never had a chance with our schedule

I meant "legitimate" aspirations. Of earning a playoff birth.

 

[Sparky]

Changes are needed, but to what extent?

Oline sucks, Dline sucks, receivers suck, QB REALLY sucks..sounds like an overhaul.

Never been the same once they scapegoated Doyle.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

CJ Beatherd would disagree with you.

hence the word "nearly"

2015-2016 we were at least above average ... #54 scoring offense out of 128.

So maybe one year out of the last twenty we have been "okay"

 

[Ben Rumson]

I don’t think the OL is overrated at all. Lester’s playbook is sooooo limited because the QB can’t throw the ball, and receivers can’t get open.

Lester's play book is limited due to KF!

 

[Wundershozen]

Positives. Hawks didn’t quit when it looked bad. Secondary was really good. QB adds a dimension with mobility and running

Negatives. We have no passing attack especially down the field. Schemes ?Offensive line is overrated. No turnovers forced in 2 games other than punt. Special Teams were bad.

That's what I was saying in the game thread. When was the last time we completed a deep ball of 50+ yards???

This all started with Stanley...dude was solid AF at short yards but always threw the deep ball 20 yards over the receiver's heads....and only got worse from that point on. I think that's all we really want to see as Iowa fans. A deep ball. Doesn't have to be every play. Just has to be there....it's been missing for 10 or so years now

 

[HawkIowa44]

Just like the basketball team, it was just time, same thing with Ferentz and most of the coaching staff. There needs to be a complete overhaul

 

[trj]

Hard to get excited about a 7-5 season and the pinestripe bowl.

And after that first year of C.J. his 2nd year was hampered by whom, and taking chances? If you were limited in what you could do against your god given talents by your HC. You'd play tight and differently too! There is a reason we don't have wr's and qb's I just don't need to say it anymore.

You forgot someone really, really important !

 

[HawkIowa44]

10 straight losses to ranked opponents. We are mediocre

 

[BigD]

Congratulations to Iowa State on two wins in a row.

I hope they make it to the playoffs. It’s good to have an Iowa team with some Iowa kids in the playoffs.

Kirk has become the Joe Paterno of the Big Ten. Old coach who never knew when to ride his horse into the sunset.

His horse is still here and it’s shitting all over the place.

 

[BigD]

You forgot someone really, really important !

The Holy One???

 

[Sparky]

Iowa athletics as a whole is in the shitter. Pollard did the opposite of what Barta did. Beth will never pull us out of the abyss.

A little early to say that.

 

[Seth53]

On the bright side, KF will (should) surpass Woody in Kinnick

 

[Bigtenchamp]

the bottom line is the bottom line... as long as people keep filling Kinnick then Captain Mediocre will get to keep his retirement job as a division 1 college coach.

Full-scale purge. Ferentz has to be fired or told this is his last season. The damage done to Iowas ability to recruit BAD offensive talent let alone average is beyond his repair. The game has passed him by.

This 100% but the damage has already been done. Iowa State is more relevant nationally and when people talk about Iowa, it’s only to joke about our offense. I don’t care what Ferentz has done over the years he has to go.

ASU was dog shit until they brought in Dillingham. Bring in a young exciting coach and completely change the narrative!
