Forget Les Miles. Jeff Brohm is the new head coach at Purdue. I don't know much about him. Came over from Western Kentucky. Anybody know what kind of coach he'll be?
Les Miles could be Iowa's more effective DC.Forget Les Miles. Jeff Brohm is the new head coach at Purdue. I don't know much about him. Came over from Western Kentucky. Anybody know what kind of coach he'll be?
Hmm...Les Miles could be Iowa's more effective DC.
Hmm...
We're ranked 24th in total defense, 10th in scoring defense, and 12th in red zone defense, and you want to mess with it?
I get that not everyone likes Phil Parker, but come on...
Dudes a stud and has done wonders at Western Kentucky. Look for them to really improve at least on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively will still be challenging for them.Forget Les Miles.

Maybe next time Iowa plays Northwestern, Penn State, NDS, Purdue, etc., the defense can be more in the game. Let me not forget Tennessee or Stanford.Hmm...

And all of this despite being opposite an offense that was one of the worst in the country. Which means they were on the field more. I will say, we didn't turn it over too much and put the defense in terrible positions, but still, pretty impressive. Can't believe they would get there after getting pushed around by the Bison, blown up by the purple kitties, and destroyed by Pedo State. They made adjustments and improvements and I like where they are now.Hmm...

Stats don't lie pal.Maybe next time Iowa plays Northwestern, Penn State, NDS, Purdue, etc., the defense can be more in the game.
One can, IMO, quite easily figure out the offenses Iowa's defense is stout against and the offenses Iowa has trouble against. If I can easily figure this out, opponents can do so too.Stats don't lie pal.
I could also say that we held three ranked teams we lost to to 41 points total. We can dance around all you want but the rankings are based on numbers, not cherry-picking certain games.
So you can figure it out but Jim Harbaugh and Mike Riley cannot? Unless you're a millionaire you're in the wrong profession.One can, IMO, quite easily figure out the offenses Iowa's defense is stout against and the offenses Iowa has trouble against.

Iowa was 109th in time of possession this year out of 128 schools. But I suppose that doesn't matter either? Our defense was out on the field almost 10 minutes longer per game than the top teams. How many plays does that equate to over 12 games? That says something to me.

To be fair, Nebraska had Iowa's D burnt several times. Armstrong missed wide open WRs all day. 3/4 of which would have been TDs.

All those teams except NDS had the same type of offense: Spread offense that put athletic pressure on every Iowa defender. SDS just had a better offensive line than Iowa's defensive line and, in the style of Iowa's offense, played keep away from their opponent's offense.
what's really awesome though...is that even if they hit All 3 of those bombs for TD's....we still win by 2 scores.
that is glorious.
Iowa's offense had, what, 3 possessions in the second half against SDS? Iowa's defense couldn't get off the field the whole second half, but that's not all that unusual.I like your posts bro, but the NDSU loss is on the offense. When a ranked P5 team can't put up more than 20 on an FCS school, something is wrong. To put it in simple terms, whatever your feelings are about our defense, it is world's better than our offense.
SDS, Northwestern, Purdue, even though Iowa won, was a defensive nightmare for Iowa. Iowa was behind Tennessee and Stanford by about 3 scores in the first quarter. Pretty hard for any OC to devise an effective game plan after that.you still think defense is the issue huh. I'll give ya PSU game, but otherwise....no.
