I was surprised that Pat Downey had qualified for the trials. An interesting interview with him on Flo. Seems he understands that he was his own worst enemy. He does have a certain flavor! I do hope he can humble Starocci.
During freshman orientation at Iowa this fall my son and I sat next to a father and son from illinois. I asked them why they had picked Iowa and they said that paying out of state tuition was still cheaper than attending the U of illinois!
While Spencer was 11 for 25 and 109 passing yards Charlie Jones hauled in 12 receptions for 153 yards for Purdue. Wish Charlie was still in the black and gold but can't blame him for the switch.
That was a closer than expected decision against a Minnesota back up. Feeling a little less confident about a Kennedy vs Kharchla match. Impressed with Schriever and Swafford. A year of seasoning and Ayala will be right there.
