Keenan Davis?

Just like Robinson in the Michigan State game last year.

Leave your starters in no matter what the score and don't give the reserves game time experience for development purposes. Do this and risk injury to the starters that ultimately affect team performance in subsequent games.

It's decisions like this that I blame the Iowa coaching staff almost entirely for the loss to Minnesota.

Not sure how much football you actually watch, but I'm a college fantasy football player and as a result watch a lot of late nite, obscure, all over football games. Seen lots and lots of games were this happened (Houston Okie St, OU) in fact in the OU-KU game. Landry Jones was still throwing a TD at the 10:39 mark in the KU game and at the 4:50 mark Dominique Whaley ran for a TD to make it 47-17......he finished with 165 yards by the way......surely they had other guys to carry the ball right....

Good post/questions. I thought he was right at or just a smidgeon below what I would expect for a number 2 guy. For next year, unfortunately I dont see him as being a strong 1 guy like nutter. I think it will have to be more of a well balanced three person receiving group next year. IMO he wont approach the results of nutter. not many will for that matter, not for a long time
 
Actually i see Davis being at McNutts level in production
as for a 3rd receiver its rather hard to find one when we concentrated on the 3 that were on the field
there are wr in the fold ithing to get their chance
KMM is a RS FR and played
 
nutter had one of the bests if not the best receiving years of any receiver at iowa, ever. I dont see Davis having those numbers/production next year.
 
McNutt is a very good Player, but he is not a once in a generation player
better players will emerge as well as come into the program

Yet those would be perfect times to try and develop some depth. If you don't take the chance to develop depth you will constantly have years you take a large step back, and can be more then 1 year back. It may make the coaches realize they have holes in their current roster they don't know about.

Oh I dont know about that herbster, IMO he's the best receiver in Iowa history, i'd say that makes him a once in a century and 91 years player...
 
Teams like alabama, usc, nebraska, penn st, florida, ohio st, and a few others historically have played a lot of backups in blowouts which makes it so they have experience when they step up to be starters.

Iowa normally should have a pretty good two deep roster so get the backups in the game when you are leading by three scores in the 4th qtr. And the days of losing coaches getting ****** if your backup QB throws passes is long gone with the high powered offenses of today.

Not sayin' it wouldn't be......just saying (as is my all time position) if people would watch, all the things they are continually critiquing the Iowa coaches about, is happening all over the country. Stressing by the way, I'm not saying its right or even ok, but while they are burying our coaches and pining for theirs, they are doing the same crap and I mean top tier guys, not the coach at New México St or Tulane.....

Soup did a good job with a converted QB
but i am curious to see what he does with a WR especially a 4* receiver, which is what Davis is, and if he gets Darbogh or someone that is a actual WR out of HS

As I noted before that's not necessarily true....especially with the style points and heisman situation we now have....

Lots and Lots and lots of no-star, 2-star & 3-star Wr's in the NFL......I'm only concerned that they get big rangy guys who can catch and learn....I also think Davis is a potential NFL Wr and if that still means he isn't a difference maker then that's fine by mean....

For me keenan was a little underwhelming this year and of course the injury could have a lot to do with that. It will be interesting to see how next year goes for him because he will probably get more targets or plays drawn up for him as the primary target as the #1 WR but he will lose the benefit of McNutt drawing the majority of attention from defenses.

As far as the #2 WR i think we will need to look somewhere else other than the tin man. He seems like a good fit at the slot position but i see him struggling when moving to the outside.
 
It would be nice if receivers held onto the ball when it hits them in the hands.
Dear Santa...

Keenan is a junior.

I agree that he had a good year. Clean things up and assert himself for a nice senior season.

Everyone seems to think Campbell is the only coach doing a good job, but the WR have an awful lot of drops.

Another poster started an interesting thread on sports psychology. I wonder if there is a little mental hesitancy (or 'red lights') going on with some of these 'easy' catches.

There is a technique to making catches in certain spots, but catching is almost SO fundamental that the WR coach can't do much about it aside from giving them extra reps. They can coach route-running and leverage, etc. Our WRs do a good job catching the ball away from their body and on the run downfield, so they have good catching technique. They seem to get distracted trying to run after short catches right in their numbers. The only thing the WRs coach can do there is tell them to concentrate more.
