$2 million for a QB that can't hit a pass to save his life. Thankfully he can run.

The QB singlehandedly won that game no matter what the stats say. He found a way to get it done despite his HC giving away 7 free points for no earthly reason. That's all that matters and it's something no QB since Beathard has done.

Iowa has better QB play this season, which gives them a chance in every game IMO.

Like I said. We haven't seen a QB get ~200 yards since Deacon Hill lit up Maryland for 220 yards against Maryland. Petras had 3 games of 200+ yards going back as far as 2022.

So, I'll take Gronowski's 198 yards, even if 130 of it came on the ground.

That being said.....can we just please have some sort of passing game? Please? I'd even settle for tight ends and runningbacks getting 140 yards and maybe another 20-30 total yards to receivers? I mean, 170 yards with some regularity just might be enough to be interesting. You know, basically just a little bit better than Petras.

This less than 100 is really effing frustrating.

If you told me Iowa was that high in the red zone this year I'd be shocked, especially with some of the unexpected kicking 'woes'.
Same for 3rd down conversion percentage.

Not like they're stellar or anything. But anything above average in those two I wouldn't believe if you didn't have the numbers to show me.

Once again, I think they have a quite good team....with little to no passing threat.

Really effing frustrating.

Runningbacks, special teams...

And once again, we just see this absolute stark evidence of how good Phil Parker is. This year's defense could be way worse than it is. There are more 'holes' in terms of the fewest numbers of consensus "studs" than in the past. Very light on takeaways from years past. And yet, they still can find a way to near the top in some fairly important categories. Not saying they're "great" or don't have issues. But, once again...if they had slipped in any significant way from well above average in any of the last 5-6 years (including this one)....can you imagine the misery that would have been Iowa football?

Kirk Ferentz owes a large chunk of the back end of his career to Phil Jr. And the Parker family as a whole deserves more than we'll ever give them. And credit to Kirk for bringing him up and keeping him. And giving him at least enough of whatever he's needed to do his job. A fish stinks from the head down. But when they don't stink, they deserve credit.
