"We want to prove these guys wrong that they’re not this stout run defense that they keep claiming to be."
Where do they even come off making a statement like this when they are a garbage team this year?

Forcing teams to the outside and not allowing them to turn the corner generally means the defenders are playing their assignments so I would say Phil is succeeding in this aspect.

I'm confused why so many are taking offense? What do you want him to say? "We suck and won't even show up".

They also like to use a lot of misdirection and persuasion blocking to keep opposing defenses guessing. Indiana is a bit like that too. They aren't loaded with talent, but they will try to out-scheme with what they've got. They will try to take advantage of over-aggressiveness and mix up the cues the defender reads. Iowa has seen it once and had two weeks to prepare this time. Hopefully they had time to run a mini clinic on what Maryland is throwing at them.

Ohio State's defense is average. Doesn't compare to Iowa's D against the run. And if they throw to King's side, it will be Iowa's ball! Mabin isn't too bad either.

Last year was last year. That said I thing we benefitted from it as he probably used it as motivation all offseason.

You say. "We feel that we have a good running game, and we want to establish the run. We look forward to competing with their front 7."
Nothing wrong with being confident at all, but you don't give billboard material to the opponent. You didn't see Iowa saying stuff like this about jNW rush defense which was stout going into their matchup.

Did you catch the double-negative? I think this means "Iowa is wrong that they're not a stout run defense" and Maryland wants to prove that Iowa IS a stout run defense.
Bwa-ha-ha, Jaleel and friends stand ready to help!!!

Bro, nothing against Norm because we all know O'Keefe carried the team with those offenses back in the day, but I sat in Memorial Stadium as time wound down and watched Juice Williams get Elway-fied on our defense on that last drive back in 2008. 3 down linemen, waltzed it right down the field for the game winning FG. It was horrible to watch. Of course, we redeemed ourselves the next week, but Locksley straight up owned Ferentz & Norm in that game. Locks was also the OC who shredded our D last year in that MD game. I think Locks got a bad deal up to North Mexico because that team was dog crap and he couldn't recruit anyone to play under the shadow of Coach Alford, but the guy has punked Ferentz in the last two meetings so I wouldn't be so confident.

Hopefully that will be the case out of desparation if/ when we jump up a couple of scores on them.
