what did you think of the......never mind.
SHUT THE HECK UP!!!
I thought Brian did an excellent job, and we're lucky his father promoted him so that we aren't facing him on an opponent's sidelines.

My viewpoint hasn't changed. Like I said after game 1.. Good defense but zero offense = 7-5.
Maybe 8-4. Then get shut down by whatever SEC opponent we play in the outback bowl.
Gotta find a consistent passing game if we want to realistically hope for better.

We're 114th. 1st in scoring defense of teams that have played 2 games. 2nd if you count Toledo, with their only game being a 66-3 win over the mighty Virginia Military Institute.

Yep. Like I said earlier, if Phil was on the same level as BF we'd be winning 3 to 5 games a year if not worse.

A 2015 level defense and no offense = 9-3
Stanley being able to connect on 3 or 4 big throws a game = B1G title game.

2-0 is a great start. NIU and ISU weren't supposed to be cupcakes. I thought we could have lost to one of these teams.

So here is the question. Would Kirk tolerate that from his defense? Would Kirk still be our coach if he had?
Norm and Phil have afforded Kirk the luxury of being an awful offensive coach historically, and that will continue until Brian ascends to HC whenever that is.
The same thing could happen during Brian's tenure. He will have to find his own Phil Parker. Would everyone be happen with 7-5 for another 20 years?

If Phil doesn't want to be a HC, why would he stay at Iowa?

I'm a pro KF guy. I'm on board wity a run first, power football, defensive strength team....however... this offensive production/rank is absolutely not acceptable, and in my opinion it has absolutely nothing to do with the players, talent, or skill. Eventually, slow starts and ultra conservative passing game are going to get Iowa beat.
I can live with a few mistakes, dropped passes, overthrows, under throws, even a fumble. What I cant accept is an offense that either coaches, promotes, or is ok with ONE attempted pass of over 10 yards in an entire half of football, notably against a team Keying on the run!.
To be clear, I do Not expect a top 25 or even a top 50 offense (although if we had that, wed be talking about B1G titles and CFP potential). What I do expect is offensive production, at the very Minimum, in the top 75% of D1 college football.
We have what seems to be a very good defense that could even get better, they deserve better than an offense that isn't a bottom 10 ranked for the last 2 years.
Loved the win, thrilled with being 2-0, super excited about the defense. 3 trips inside the opponents 30 yard line for 3 points, nope, cant defend that. We talked last year that better punting might have resulted in 1 or 2 more wins. Welp...we may have been on the other side of that without 2 gifted shanks yesterday.
Go Hawks.

Very true, painstakingly so, but true
Oh, I thought we'd lose yesterday. They have better skill players. Iowa's lines won the game by making big plays when they needed to.

Because he likes it here. I think he would stay for the right head man, and if that man was smart enough to keep him.

Skill players better? Who? Hakeem "Stone Hands" Butler? The backs who made up the .8 yards per carry average yesterday? Kick returners = nothing. Punt returners= nothing. Quarterbacks = nothing special. None of their tight ends would even make traveling squad at Iowa. Not really sure where you are coming from.

Gotta side with Cincy here, Butler has an NFL body I’d trade any two of our receivers for him and Montgomery is better than our backs. Qb is very close. Their corners are NFL corners. Other than that there’s no comparison. Our defense was just that good yesterday and Iowa State’s punts were like turnovers.
