And you prove that you're clueless. Iowa routinely has horrible rushing stats, especially when considering the type of offense that we run. Iowa is consistently at the very bottom of B1G and national rushing stats. Do you even pay attention to the program?
I appreciate that you find me very clueless about Iowa football. Maybe you can teach me better about the program.
Your stats show proof for the entire team.
Are you telling me that the following backs didn't contribute nicely for the team under KF:
(Not in order of date) Robbison, Wegher, Coker, Greene, and whom ever else I have missed since Kirk has taken over? I will guess that you were one that were telling others that they are going to be awesome as long as they are carrying the ball. I was one that was saying "it is nice to have these boys carrying the ball for Iowa.
I get as a team they might not have rushed towards the top of the conference.
You can't deny that someone like Greene, Coker, Robbison lead or was towards the top of the conference in rushing.
Since Banks and Tate, Iowa has not really had a Dual-Threat QB to help rack up the yards on the ground. Much like your stud QBs at Mich, OS, Northwestern, to where they have had good QB's that can beat you on the ground, helping out their backs with the carries.
You can't deny the fact that year in and year out Iowa produces NFL lineman. It takes for them to grade the way for the backs so they can gain the yards. In saying that running backs seem to choose to go Iowa because they know that they are going to succeed behind the O-line's that Kirk has coached.
Yes I get the fact that some: elect to move on because of some excuse to leave. Some can't get the grades, some don't like to share the ball- or think they need to have the ball the whole time, and some get hurt and can't continue on. The 4 star backs keep showing up in Iowa's back field. Why is that?
The only down fall of late is, teams are stacking the box against Iowa, cause they know Iowa choices to run first. Last year's team had key injuries, somewhat new O-system, and a QB that took a step or two back. It was easy for teams to stop the run.
In conclusion 76, I think you need to take a step back and realize that their are others out there(including my self)that have been following or are understanding of how Iowa has played the game under KF. Who has done what and who were a bust. Who went on to the NFL and who didn't
You can continue making team comparisons, but don't eliminate the fact that their are individuals who have shined to make the team look noticeable.
Sincerly,
The guy who knows nothing.
