Iowa runs 31 fewer offensive plays and wins; it is a winning formula but I want more scores next year

you are part of a three man team at work.

One of your coworkers does next to nothing all year. You and the other pick up the slack. You both work overtime, weekends, etc to meet your quotas.

At the end of the year the goals are accomplished. All three of you get the same raise and kudos

Do you compliment the slacker ?
Not quite the same, but i get your point. In the long run the TEAM won. Then you analyze the total results & change out the weak link. That's what a good manager/coach does. Took some time with BF, but Iowa is getting there.

Iowa is a stable program. That’s all you can compliment about it. We’re not even gonna be putting many guys in NFL over the next few years as the talent has gotten so bare.
^^ Kirk's age and longevity are starting to be used against him and Iowa on the recruiting trail. But there are a lot more transfers out there.

But we need a passing game where you can confidently throw on 1st down a lot and have quick 5-7 yard gains to spread out the defense and run the ball or pass based on counting helmets in the box etc.

We are not there yet

Which bowl we going?

I will watch Iowa play in whatever bowl game; however, my excitement level won't be buzzing. These bowls now are much less meaningless than a regular season game. No way would I spend big money to go see one. The top players opt out of them.
They are definitely not what they used to be. I will travel to Tampa. Would also go to Nashville. No others.

Clown U scored 3 points in 1st Qtr vs South Carolina. They scored 6 pts in the 2nd Qtr & trailed 35-9 at Half Time. They end up losing by 40 (76-36)

She moves in slow motion, so the "backing into the lane" offensive fouls aren't obvious.

I rewatched her winning score vs Drake.
It's like slow motion instant replay, yet it's in real time.
She's just big and uses that size to just bulldoze people.
There is supposed to be a rule about "displacing" your opponent. Thats supposed to be a foul. As you said though the way she does it the refs just kind of overlook her pushing the opponent out of the way.

For those wanting Kirk Ferentz gone

KF has to go.

Raiola saved KF some criticism by fumbling.
What did KF do to earn praise for last night's victory?

Fickell won't last long at Wisky, but that shouldn't be a factor on KF being under pressure or being scrutinized.
The halftime show where the network people were making fun of Iowa is likely how Iowa football is perceived, nationally.
The longer he is kept around, the bigger the rebuild.
Wonder what those network pricks said after the game?

Kaleb Johnson not sure on Iowa return

He doesnt move the pile. As is he is a lot like Cooper heading in which left money on the table. Better lines..yes and better defenders. He ll go but with ? marks. He struggles when turned to the out side which is another ?

Late 2nd or 3rd round at best.
Most running backs dont get drafted very high anymore because there are so many good ones, dont have to pay them first round money for 3-4 years but just replace them when they get worn out.

Back to lurking

The big D loss, which I should have seen coming, got me thinking. Besides political shenanigans, what do I do on here? Sure, I enjoy the rando boob's thread but otherwise the discussion has gotten to be meh. I'm tempted to unignore everyone because nothing is happening for 4 years. So, for me, like I did for many years, it's back to lurking. Sure, I'll start a thread here and there but alas the fire is gone. Keep making your 9 figure incomes and keep well. Not adios but kinda.
Traffic will decrease on here because the loony birds and leftist trolls are awaiting their next assignments from DNC headquarters.
Your pullback means you aren’t interested in other topics or you have no sense of humor which is tragic because so many Indians have such an awesome sense of humor and dry sarcastic wit which is my favorite and a reflection of their elevated intelligence.
If you must, get back to your research and make us healthier. I for one will miss your posts.

My thoughts on Tim Lester

And Marco Lainez and Resar. Bringing in a walkon quarterback to be your fifth string shouldn’t count. So Lester has brought in Sullivan and he’s played like two or three games?!?
I'm not sure of your point. Resar is an injured wide receiver today and I seriously doubt Lainez ever sees the field at Iowa. QB recruiting over the last 6 years has been a complete bust along with the one time they splurged on the portal. Brian/Kirk had no business evaluating QB's and it showed over and over.
