I was just wondering if anyone knew why the changes on the line. I am not saying that it is the cause of the problems today but I just don't know why you mess with what had worked throughout the year. Was Boone hurt or in the doghouse? Croston and really the whole line struggled but I am just surprised by changing the line up so much before the game.
OL shakeup...why?

I've heard some things, but Jon doesn't like rumors, so I won't post it.
I would take a direct message on rumors and I wouldn't send them any further...I just can't understand why it happened: injuries, illness, doghouse, etc.
Boone Myers was playing some, alot of left guard today, why not keep him at left tackle, croston at right tackle and the same interior , weird because they did not look good and cohesive in pass blocking especially. They kept getting beat by stunts, etc even bull rushes.
This is exactly what I thought. In iowa's scheme cohesion is important to the line and the switches that were made seemed to me to cause the problems as the line didn't trade off or know where each other would be.

Not bashing on coaches....however, I highly question our run co-ordinator and O-line coaching decisions....the OP points out a key thing, that we also questioned, and believe maybe one of many reasons why our team had no real team cohesion.
