More evidence to support my 2013 Iowa vs Isu prediction.......................

Speaking if troll... there is a girl that works in my building that IS the troll face. I kid you not you knuckle draggers. She looks just like the troll face. I want to take her picture and post it but am not willing to take on that creeper role. The troll does exist, right here in Iowa.

Who cares if they are better "athletes", they aren't even close to as good of RB than Weisman. We are talking about who has the better RB's correct?

Weisman put up his numbers in 6 games basically. He was buried on the depth chart the 1st two games, and was injured and didn't play for 2 others, and was injured but tried to play in another 2 games.

We were told last year that ISU RB's were all vastly superior to the Iowa RB. That Barkley Hill wasn't needed, the ISU depth was soooooo great. The end result was Iowa had a walk-on 8th string RB (2nd string FB), put up better numbers in 6 games, than any ISU RB could put up in 13 games.

The best part of all of it, is that idiot clown trolls then show up on this site AGAIN claiming that they have better RB's again this year.........Let me give you a little clue, when you have 3 part time QB's that combine for more rushing yards than your "best RB", you have sh!t RB's.

Iowa will once again have better RB's, and better depth at RB. The facts simply prove this out, no matter what delusional Clown fan thinks.

Hey Clown, Iowa had nearly the WORST passing game in all of college football; maybe all-time (hyperbole, but not that far off). Meaning every damn team we played last year stacked the box on nearly every play. You don't think that played into Weisman's numbers? If we even had an average passing game last year, Weisman would've easily averaged over 6ypc and even better numbers than any Clown back. As bad as Sammy Football was and every other turd you had back there behind center, they were light years better than Vandenberg.

Better line play = more success running the ball.

Didn't think that was too difficult of a concept to grasp.

Other teams stacked the box all year long. More players upfront = makes it easier to stop the run, thus resulting in less yds and ypc.

Maybe it's just me, but I think you're overplaying the whole "stacking the box" effectiveness. But hey, carry on man!

Really? Maybe you missed the part where we finished 99th in passing this year. But nah, I'm sure that had no impact on opposing D's strategy. None whatsoever

It is just you. Did you watch any of Iowa's games this past year? If you did watch, and you have even a slight amount of football knowledge then you would know he isn't overplaying it. Iowa virtually NEVER threw the ball down the field. Opposing defenses had absolutely nothing to worry about over the top so they stacked the box. It was that simple.

And I'm just saying, you don't think that same happened to ISU?

It wasn't like ISU had some vaunted pass offense. We were terrible as well. Teams stacked the box, we struggled. i.e. Texas Tech. I'm not trying to say ISU's backs are way more talented at all. Because Iowa has some great back ups that have filled the void, and the line play has certainly helped that immensely is what I'm getting at. Iowa's line could handle the box being stacked, while ISU's struggled.

Yeah, I've always thought the clones run a stupid version of the pistol. The rb is always at least 8 yards back. Now I know in other formations the back is that far back as well, but it doesn't work well in the pistol.

At least in ISU's offense you throw the ball down the field. It doesn't even matter if you don't have a threat on the outside. You still have to keep the defense honest. Iowa didn't even try. It was so painful to watch because Joe Schmo could sit back and accurately predict like 3 out of 4 plays Iowa called. If an armchair QB can do that I wonder how hard it must be for an NCAA Division 1 Defensive Coord???

I don't care if ISU plays with 11 true freshmen on defense ... The game is in Ames ... We struggle against ISU ... We always do ...

 

[tanabs]

Iowa will be the same team this season that they were last year. they aren't laying the wood to anybody, especially on the road.

and even with your cupcake conference you probably still won't be .500

will kirk finally get fired this year?

You already know the answer, nope.

All I am saying is that any BCS conference team should not have any trouble at all with ISU this year. Isu is a MAC team playing in the big 12. Correction, a low level MAC team.

^^^ doesn't get football.

When a walk on 8th string RB shows up and does well for us, it proves one thing. We have an elite Offensive line. Before the key injuries to the line, Iowa's run blocking for those guys was very solid. A much better offensive line than Iowa State's.

Iowa doesn't didn't have better RB talent than most schools. Probably not any better than Iowa State's. But when healthy, we have a better line. Line play is why it doesn't matter who our RB is.

If it didn't matter who our RB is, then why did we average 3.9 YPC (taking out Vandy's stats) as a team......yet Weisman averaged 5.1 YPC?

Iowa had a good OLine, not an "elite" OLine. They certainly had a better OLine than ISU, so at least you did get that part right.

Iowa showed they had better depth at RB this year, and Weisman was the best RB on both teams. Weisman has the same Oline as Bullock, Garmon and outperformed them. White and Johnson showed basically nothing this year. I would think that a Clown fan like you would know this.

because Weisman got the bulk of the carries during the easiest part of your schedule. 3/4 of his numbers were racked up vs Minny, Central Michigan, and UNI

 

[Hawknick]

Weisman will run them over. Because it takes 3 guys to tackle him the DBs will be brought up into the box. Then bam Iowa will go over the top of them with a flea flicker TD pass.

Who did Iowa play that was all that good really? They played a week schedule, and the BIG was weak last year. I mean he had 91 yds against Nebby. He had 63 against Michigan. He can only play against who he plays against. He didn't play the 1st two weeks, he was out in another 2 weeks, and he was dinged up really bad, but played anyway in 2 other games. So basically in 6 games he destroyed any ISU RB numbers. Just imagine even if he put up crappy numbers against N. Illinois, ISU, Indiana, and Purdue (say just 50 yds per game) he would have gone over 1000 yds, beating ISU top 2 runners combined.

Kirk gives us the best chance to win.

Iowa does have a lot of talent returning that will give them an advantage if they work hard, and we do our best to support them. There are also many incoming players that have the potential to contribute.



On offense there are 3 experienced running backs are returning. All the players that saw significant playing time at receiving last year are returning with the exception of Davis. Many incoming players are expected to contribute in the receiving game. Four experienced and productive tight ends return. Iowa will have plenty of depth for 2 oven 3 tight end sets. The QB candidates all have impressive resumes and talent. Most importantly all but 2 of the major contributors on the O-line are back. These include one of the Big 10s most dominate tackles in Brandon Scherff.



The defensive line returns 5 players that have contributed as starters. Leading these players will be Alvis and Trinca-Pasat both have proven to be impact players. The line will be bolstered by two talented and very large redshirt freshmen. Iowa returns all of its linebackers including some of the Big 10s leading tacklers. There are also many defensive backs returning to be led by Law and Lowery. Iowa has some of its best young talent is also coming into its own as DBs.

On special teams, returning starts at kicker, punter and long snapper. There is lots of incoming athletes that should help with coverage. Iowa also returns that conferences leading kick-off returner in Jordan Cotton.


All around this team appears to have what it takes to be successful. Let’s give them all the support they need to make that happen.
