No, not so much. Just because you lose, doesn't mean you play with no emotion. Most of the losses have been on the players, not coaches. It's a stupid argument to constantly blame coaching.I could care less if the coaches ever show emotion on the sideline as long as they can get the team to play with passion and intensity for an entire 60 minutes. Unfortunately that has happened much in the past 12 games. Hopefully today is a different story.
Iowa has toruble with QBs who can run AND throw, not Qbs who can run. I think Michigan's defense is a paper tiger, they shut down sub .500 teams but get lit up by others.
I think Michigan's defense is going to have as much trouble with our offense as we will have with their's. Remember, they have most of the players they had last year when they gave up 38 to Iowa, when we arguably had a worse offense, and we were at their place.
This season they have not seen a RB as good as Coker, and they have a had trouble containing good RBs this year (look at what Sparty did to them...)
It really hasn't been the O-line that is not picking up blitzes. JVB has been awful about reading the blitz. It's more him and the blocking back.As long as Iowa O-Line can handle Michigan's blitz package I think our Offense will have no trouble moving the ball.
You mean when Robinson went 3 for 4 for 30 yards and had a pick and when he rushed 9 times for 49 yards?
I'm with Cibula and have a good feeling for some reason. Over the last 11+ seasons Iowa is 59-12 at home. So worse Iowa teams have beaten better teams than Michigan at home before.[/QUOTE]
Could you give me an example?
I've only seen Iowa beat Michigan at home 4 times ('84, '85, '03, & '09). I'm assuming the Iowa teams you are referring to are from a very long time ago.
