I don't get this either. PSU is challenged offensively, but they are a very very good defensive ball club. The only team that has scored more than 10 points against them was Alabama, who scored a season low 27 points despite getting 3 turnovers from them.

I think some of the unhappiness at this point is going back to last year where Iowa clearly underachieved.
and before you claim my expectations were too high...didnt the Iowa staff themselves admit the Rhabado inducing workout has only occurred in past years following disappointing seasons?

Jon you are right on. We had very little returning starters including a new qb. Everyone needs to take a step back and chill. We have a lot more games to play

Except we will be losing alot of seniors from this team this year so if this is a rebuilding year next year is really going to be one BAD YEAR!

"It's rebuilding year " that is just journalistic bs.
How does Iowa have a rebuilding year with a 12 year staff at hand. Was last year at 7-5 a rebuilding year. It's easy to use lose terms like rebuilding year. One of the main jobs of a coaching staff is to build a program. Are there not flaws with the way KF coaches, or is it just he gives it all and this is Iowa so its all ok ?

were are not even in the same league as texas and florida.
I disagree BIG time, the only way Iowa wins anymore games this year is if Iowa does what they for about 5 qtrs they go no huddle and shoot gun to get it done......where vandy is having 290+ yards in the air...
Rebuilding years usually have the following characteristics:
1. They follow a good season. (Iowa was an average team last year)
2. Feature young players at several key positions (9 SR starters, 5 JRs spread around at QB, WR, OL, DL, LB, & DB)
3. Have several key players returning the next season and possibly for 2 seasons (Davis, KMM, Vandenburg, Ferentz, Coker, Morris, Kirksey, & Hitchens are returning. Only KMM, Coker, & the LBs will still be here in 2012, only 3 FR are getting siginificant playing time - KMM, Meyers, & Davis).
4. Don't lose several key players after the season (McNutt, Reiff, Gettis, Zus, 3 DL starters although that might be addition by subtraction, Nielson, Prater, Bernstine, & Hyde who will probably go pro being that he is our best DB this year). That's 11 guys.
Can't use the rebuilding year crutch with this team. Far too many SRs and JRs at key positions and not nearly enough FR & SO contributing.
We should never be rebuilding to the point that our D-line is this bad. We have had lots of success putting guys in the NFL yet this year we may only have 1 guy who should see the field in Big 10 play. Penn St should have run every play. Once they figured that out, the game was over. As far as the offense is concerned, the coaches should consider trusting their players a little more. If a middle age fan who hasn't played football since HS knows what play is coming, my guess is Penn State knew too.

We would use it for what, 3 or 4 plays at a time? Then stop using it another for another 20 minutes.
Yes, let's blame the no huddle that wasn't even really even a chance to succeed.
So from what I gather,Iowa should never lose to Penn St...ever. We lost 2 of the last 10 and that is unacceptable,because Iowa should always be better than the program that is #5 alltime in wins,and is rated the 3rd most popular college football progam in the country,and is #1 in terms of football income in the country...Iowa should never lose to them? Because we lost to them yesterday,that means Iowa is having a bad year,is a bad program,with a bad coach,right?
I will tell you what this thread reeks of...a sense of unwarranted entitlement.
Hey,we're Iowa and so we can just throw our jocks out on the field and expect to win...every game.
Right!!!
Get a clue.
When Iowa runs off the next six wins,don't come crawling back pounding your chests. It is funny because I see the same idiots who are posting trash on PSU websites all week,now whining the loudest on the Iowa websites after a loss that they guaranteed would be a win.
Some Iowa fans are downright embarrassing.
