Stanford O = Iowa O

[superfan12]

Yeah I know its a stretch, but I want to see us look like these guys, using the TE regularly, running the rock. Why aren't we as explosive as Stanford?

 

[GhostofGhost]

I wish we had an AD like Stanford!!

Andrew Luck

They will not look the same without Luck next year, but I understand what youre saying.

Andrew Luck

I agree 100%, hes a great QB, but they are a physical run first team and pounding the rock.

 

[vegashawki]

Luck can sling the ball, that definately helps them out when it comes to running the ball.

I was actually talking about this earlier with a co worker. Stanford runs our offense but more focus on the passing.

 

[kmurp]

They have recruited much better than us over the past few years (under their old coach). They are similar to Wisconsin

 

[spliff45]

Is it just me, or Stanford fairly limited at the receiver position and that's why the focus on the TEs?

Not just you.
Imagine if Luck had McNutt or Davis on that team. Holy smokes.

 

[superfan12]

They have the one Fr. WR, but that's it. The main WR for Stanford is injured.

 

[hawkfan1319]

It's like our offense but not run by a conservative scared coach who only plays not to lose. Too harsh?

 

[superfan12]

If Iowa had an Andrew Luck, I think we'd look exactly the same.

Yes because we would still have KOK.

Sadly you couldn't be more right..

 

[superfan12]

I meant the same as Stanford

They got pretty conservative come OT for some stupid reason though. You've got a QB like Luck, who just happens to be 26-30 at the start of the overtime drive and run it 2 times and leave it up to that horrible fg kicker? How stupid was that, sounds exactly like what Kirk and KOK would do, except they might run it 3 times.

 

[NewMexHawk]

If Luck played for Iowa he would have about seven or eight plays to use, thus nothing would change much for Iowa, even WITH Luck. Our coach would ensure that a QB like Luck would not have much leeway and would run a very conservative offense, one of which the opposing defense would know exactly which play he would be running. The staff is quite capable of tying a QB's hands behind his back to ensure the QB takes no risk.

 

[roetbombaaa]

They also have 2 first rounders on their offensive line. That helps.

Is this a joke?

If Iowa had had Luck this year we would have been 10-2 or at least 9-3.
