Iowa is a 14 point dog against Penn St

This will be the best team we have played thus far . We will know after this game where our offensive line stands for sure.I hope Cade survives this game without injuries. Lose Cade and our chances of winning the West fall off the table.

Move the ball in increments and eat up the clock and keep the Penn State offense off the field. Hope for a few turnovers to go our way.

This is a weird year. At this point the Iowa defense seems a little weaker than last year, but the Iowa offense seems a little bit better. We will find out about both this week.

Football is a strange game sometimes. Some coaches let their pride get in the way. They year we beat Ohio State was a head a scratcher. Going into that game we were ineffective offensively when teams put pressure on our QB. However Urban thought he could win that game by playing a straight up defense. That was a huge mistake on his part. It was probably the best overall game Brian has called since being the offensive coordinator. I just shake my head that Urban didn’t put more pressure on our QB. His pride and arrogance cost Ohio State that game. His smugness and arrogance of thinking his defense would just play a straight up defense and beat Iowa was laughable. It was enjoyable to beat them so handily. I had hoped that was Brian’s coming out moment, but alas it was what appeared to be a fluke game.

I don’t know how much Brian was involved with the recruiting before being made the offensive coordinator and if some of his better offenses early on were products of his predecessor’s recruiting and coaching or not.

I still have to wonder if Barta retired to avoid the possible risk of having to be the one that fires Brian, and this damaging what friendship he has with Kirk.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Penn State will be seriously attempting to end Cade's career

We have been a thorn in their ass for years, and their hatred is toxic

Interesting comment..pretty much a compliment to BF, since we have improved our rank in recruiting over the past 3-5 years. Was that your intent?

I complain about Brian.
But I fully accept the players must like him and like/appreciate being coached by him. I'll not deny him that credit. And frankly, if what I believe is true, I value it being part of the program.

He's definitely in the black on the portal ledger. I assume recruiting too. I don't really follow recruiting and how many 4 stars/etc. But, I don't hear about a lot of lost opportunities or see entire classes of recruits coming in who outwardly don't show they have the ability.

I have other ways I can complain about him.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the farm on Iowa to cover. There's no way Iowa loses by 2 TDs. I haven't seen anything that really impresses me about Penn State yet. Illinois gave them 4 turnovers and great field position on all but one scoring drive. They still only managed 30 points and were held to 4 3 & outs.

Obviously we’re not as good as Illinois.
