I think its fine that people complain about stuff, that's the point of a thread, I just assume usually it should make some kind of sense. I've heard today that our offense is stale, our oc sucks, and same old same old. If you can look back on Iowa's season this year and think that things are the same old same old you're just plain silly, to be honest. Our some things the same, yeah in how we block and other things, but honestly we've ran more out of three tight end sets then ever before. We've ran out of 5 wide receiver sets more than ever before. We've ran out of trips, 4-wide receiver sets, shotgun formations, etc. more than ever before. The last two weeks some of the routes they've had our running backs run, different wheel routes and slants from the shot gun formation, to get them open. The play today where they ran our running back back into the backfield so he could get a short angle on the throw on third down, we've never run that before. The tight end screen to account for the blitzing corner today, for Noah's big gain.
How many times have we gone for it on 4th down instead of taking a field goal even though our kickers been pretty legit the last two seasons. The fake field goals, etc. Suggesting this team is stale is laughable. The only thing stale is the stupid complaints just because we don't crush somebody by 50. You may be tired of us not being Alabama or Ohio State, and that's fine, but suggesting this is the same team you've seen for the last 20 years is just ridiculous. On a game by game basis we've been starting 3 new linebackers and 2 freshmen corners. Our coaches have sent our best safety to play linebacker half the snaps a game, to get us 3 safeties on the field half the time. Like really, nothing is new, its all the same. That's just dumb.
