Jackson Stratton named starter, cornerback absent from Iowa's final depth chart

Iowa released its depth chart for the regular season finale against Nebraska on Black Friday. A shakeup at quarterback and the left cornerback spot headline the Hawkeyes' changes.

Maybe he was right

Kirk mangled news about a player? Say it ain't so?

He did and it was deliberate obfuscation to keep Maryland guessing. He said as much in his post game presser. Why is it nobody understands this?

Which is odd to even intentionally do. Which one of our bad QBs should the opponent prepare for? Unless Sullivan is one of them the O is gonna be 85% run anyway and little creativity with the passing game at all. If armchair qbs like me can figure that out then surely MDs crappy coaching staff with BF on it can. Geesh

Because his approach seemed to leave a lot of reporters and Iowa fans confused about what was really going on. If the reporters with all the inside knowledge were confused, that probably means many of Iowa's own players were in the dark. Is that good for team unity to have all these rumors flying around that Cade has quit the team? Just tell the frickin truth.

Dana Holgerson working for nebraska is not a good thing. Lying about our QB is mild compared to what we should be doing to fight that guy. He's a ninja and it scares me.

Yes, agree Kirk is better than Dana Holgerson.

So no big deal in the long run. I. am not saying Ferentz has done anything that warrants being fired. Not even close. It's just needlessly frustrating because Ferentz thinks it creates a competative disadvantage to disclose when players are out and I think it causes needless confusion and distraction among his own team and staff that wastes everybody's time.

I'm being told Stratton starts on Thursday.

Thursday/Friday

What's the difference

Just another day in the Hood

Remember its not realistic that he's installed a whole new playbook. Same plays. But the tendencies for 10 games are gone. One game to go on.. Against Wisconsin, Nebraska gained 473 yards, Iowa gained 422. Rushing 180 vs 329 5.0 vs 6.1 per rush; Nebraska passed for 293 and IA 93.
