Penn State Destroys Iowa

[JonDMiller]

After seven games, you get closer and closer to 'being what you are'. This Iowa team is a bad offensive ball club; there's simply no other way to put it.

More...

Speed kills and so does lack of speed.

This team has the usual average Oline... and a below average quarterback. Our starting tight end is probably the most overrated player in Iowa fooball history.

Jon, you can go ahead and substitute Northwestern for Penn State and use the same story next Saturday.

I reached acceptance watching him in person against C. Michigan, I stated he was the problem then and I am not backing off of it now...welcome aboard Diesel.

why would you say he is overrated? It isn't CFed's fault that he is not being used. He only had a handful of targets this game

Well he doesn't catch very well, gets 0 yards after contact and is questionable blocker.

What can he do? Half the time he is open, JVB won't get him the ball. It's easy to call him overrated, but I don't know what CJF can accomplish with a QB who is struggling like this.

The line that made me groan out loud: "with close to 30 recruits on hand, Iowa’s biggest in season recruiting weekend of the year."

Mom & Dad, I'm fired up to commit to Iowa right now...

I appreciate the frustration boiling beneath the surface in this piece. Thank you for saying it like it is, as opposed to how we'd all like it to be.

 

[JonDMiller]

I wouldnt say the OL is average at all. They've been pretty good this year.

Yup, no need for NCAA sactions, we just sactioned ourselves. Worse than the death penalty.

 

[ThunderHawk]

We all know what the most glaring problem is. Nobody even has to say it.

I agree. But that was before Scherff went down. That hurts bad. If Donnal is out, too. We will be lucky to be average at OL.

We aren't allowed to say it without getting the ban hammer

FIFY.

That's because he is overrated, it's not his fault fans have put the expectation of being the next "Gronk". People were talking about him leaving for the NFL after this year, he probably won't even be drafted, he really isn't that good.

 

[ThunderHawk]

I agree. But that was before Scherff went down. That hurts bad. If Donnal is out, too. We will be lucky to be average at OL.

If it's true that Scherff has a broken leg, that's better than a destroyed knee. Might as well shut him down anyway, this season is a lost cause.

 

[HawkAttack]

I knew when Sherff broke his leg there was no way Iowa would win without a PSU turnoverfest.

they are about to have the KF press conference on BTN
