Are we really OK with a 9-9 B1G record over the last two years?


rere

No not ok at all. I really think more consistent scoring offense and the last two years are about 14-4 at the worst.

We should be taking care of jNW, Purdue, and a few other games

Actually they were +1 against Purdue.

Meaning, in 3 of their 4 losses they had no more turnovers than their opponent.

So turnovers aren't exactly a reasonable answer to "why'd they lose"...

Sure they are. It is not only how many turnovers but where you turn the ball over (i.e. Stanley pick at the goal line against PSU, two fumbles at end of game vs Northwestern, thems game killers!).

Here comes the obvious question....

If Iowa is 2nd in defense and 5th in offense, why are they only 4-4 in the the conference?

Coaching Coaching Coaching maybe HUH?Yo Pray for Surf...

Of the 17 verbals ESPN ranks all of them either 3 or 4 stars with the lowest grade being 75. This includes a pair of 4 stars (both ESPN 300) along with an Army All American and a Blue/Grey All American. To put this in perspective this is the first time ever that ESPN hasn't graded some of our recruits as NR. Avg score of 77 making it the best class KF has recruited according to their measuring stick.
