*****Auburn QB Hank Brown COMMITS to IOWA while visiting Dec 12 & 13 (3 Years Eligibility)*****

but didn’t you know that Tyler Goodson’s dad and a basketball player from Virginia follow that account which makes it a completely legit account.
If you listened to Lester he mentuoned several times during the season that he hasn't passed more because we were running the ball and had big leads. As Woody Hayes use to say, when you pass a football two of three things that happen are bad. Completion, Incomplete or Interception. He forgot about a sacks.
keep in mind that we only have 105 roster spots
I believe this is the current QB Room: (5 roster spots)
and that reality is true for over 100 Division 1 football teams. Same realty as there was 40 years ago.
Are you basing this on tape from Auburn? Freshman starting in the SEC? That usually does not go well except for the very top talents.
Who were you expecting to get?
Exactly. So enjoy the 8 wins the weather and the beer because it's only a fall saturday afternoon pastime.
It’s a terrible excuse to simplify the offense when we’re down to our 5th string walkon QB? I’d say that’s being smart honestly.
My guess is Jimmy going to be the man, eventually. Also wouldn’t sleep on Fitz. The rest look serviceable but not eye popping. This based solely on video of which I haven’t seen any on Fitz….
You bring up a fun topic. What follows is from ESPN.
Let's take a look at NCAA football champions throughout history.
It's worth noting that before the CFP and BCS, a champion was determined by a selecting organization. Sometimes, multiple teams were deemed the national champions if there wasn't a clear-cut No. 1.

College football championship winners by year: NCAA list
Which teams have won the NCAA football national championship? Check out this all-time winners list for more information.
Here's a Top 10 list of national championships won.
Minnesota is on the list but they last won a natty 64 years ago.
I kinda forgot Notre Dame is in a 36 year natty drought.
10. MINNESOTA, 6
Championships: 1934, 1935, 1936, 1940, 1941, 1960
The Golden Gophers won their first national championship in 1934 and then proceeded to go back-to-back-to-back. Head coach Bernie Bierman, who previously played halfback at Minnesota, led the team to five national championships thanks to incredible rushing attack. In 1934, 90.7% of the Golden Gophers' yards came on the ground, and they averaged 295 rushing yards per game.
9. OKLAHOMA, 7
Championships: 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, 2000
Oklahoma is the only college football program with four 100-win head coaches in the school's history: Bob Stoops (191 wins), Barry Switzer (157), Bud Wilkinson (145) and Bennie Owen (113). Switzer and Wilkinson each led the Sooners to three national championships. All of Oklahoma's national championships have been during the poll era (since 1936).
8. OHIO STATE, 8
Championships: 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970, 2002, 2014
In 1942, Ohio State won its first national championship despite the fact that 22 veteran players left the team to serve in World War II and the roster was mostly made up of sophomores. Like Oklahoma, all of Ohio State's national titles have been during the poll era. The Buckeyes have the second-most wins in NCAA history, and they won their most recent title in 2014, defeating Oregon in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship game.
7. HARVARD, 8
Championships: 1875, 1890, 1898, 1899, 1910, 1912, 1913, 1919
Harvard's college football program is one of the oldest in the nation, and they have the 10th-most wins in NCAA history. These days, Harvard and college football dominance aren't exactly synonymous. It's been more than 100 years since their last title, but the school's achievements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were certainly impressive.
6. USC, 9
Championships: 1931, 1932, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978, 2003, 2004
USC won back-to-back titles on two separate occasions. In 2003 and 2004, Pete Carroll's squad won 25 of 26 games, including a 28-14 victory over Michigan in the 2003 Rose Bowl and a 55-19 blowout over Oklahoma in the 2004 Orange Bowl. The Trojans were must-see TV thanks to their high-octane offense led by Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Lendale White and Dwayne Jarrett. They would have 10 championships, but their 2004 title was vacated by the NCAA.
5. MICHIGAN, 10
Championships: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1933, 1948, 1997, 2023
Michigan won the most recent college football national championship versus Washington. Michigan previously won back-to-back-to-back-to-back national championships from 1901 through 1904, which is an incredible feat. The Wolverines also hold the NCAA record for most wins, which is a testament to their consistency over the years. Their 1997 national championship was important, as it broke a 49-year drought and gave the Wolverines just their second title in the poll era (since 1936).
4. NOTRE DAME, 13
Championships: 1919, 1924, 1929, 1930, 1943, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1964, 1966, 1973, 1977, 1988
Notre Dame is one of the most respected programs in all of college football. A big reason for that reputation is their sustained success across the 1900s. Frank Leahy led Notre Dame to six of their national championships (two as a player and four as a head coach). Their most recent national championship was in 1988, when the Fighting Irish defeated West Virginia 34-21 in the Fiesta Bowl.
3. PRINCETON, 15
Championships: 1869, 1870, 1872, 1873, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1885, 1889, 1893, 1896, 1903, 1906, 1911, 1922
Some would argue that Princeton belongs at No. 1 on this list, as the school claims 28 national championships (many of which were declared retroactively by the Billingsley Report). However, the NCAA only recognizes 15 of those titles (including the first national championship in 1869). Princeton's run of titles came during the late 1800s and early 1900s. While they are currently an FCS team, they won their titles at the highest level at the time. Without question, you can't tell the story of college football without including Princeton.
2. ALABAMA, 16
Championships: 1925, 1926, 1930, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020
When fans think of college football dominance, Alabama immediately comes to mind, as they have been a powerhouse across multiple eras. Bear Bryant led the Crimson Tide to six championships across the 1960s and 1970s. In recent years, Nick Saban has matched Bryant's six titles since taking over as head coach in 2007. The Crimson Tide are perennial contenders and their roster is a revolving door of future NFL stars. Alabama has produced 422 NFL/AFL draft picks, including 21 top-five selections. They have won an NCAA-record 13 championships in the poll era. It's very possible they'll sit atop this list in the near future.
1. YALE, 18
Championships: 1874, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1900, 1907, 1909, 1927
Yeah. Too bad it's not 1975 anymore. Things have changed just a bit since Woody roamed the sidelines.
If Brian involved in getting Hank Brown, it would be up for questioning based on prior evaluations.
Lester might have better evaluation skills for QB, lets hope so at least. Can't be worse than Brian

Here is the deal. Lester is dead man walking. Iowa isn't winning a national championship or a BIG title. The fanaticals will be howling for his buy out in a couple of years. You better start a "who do we want for new OC" thread and get out ahead of the hate. 8-9 wins a year won't cut it.....amiright?

Its all these things.
Below average OL play + undersize WR's unable to get open and catch a ball + poor QB talent + predictable, stubborn play calling = worst offense in CFB for two years in a row.
Lester is in year one. Modest improvement has been made. 2 more years will tell.

If what I said disqualifies one from being a Hawkeye fan, you will be the only one left.
So you have a 105 roster limit and there is some scuttlebut on here that you're going to keep schollies at 85. You won't want to keep 5 QB's (4 schollie/1 walkon) on the roster.
I think what you have today is a group of QB's with limited success and no clear leader that is trying out for 3-4 roster spots. I would imagine that Brown and Sully have the inside track on 2 of those today. Those tryouts begin in the spring. I would expect at least one or 2 QB's to be gone after that. Sully Jr might be untouchable because he's an incoming freshman and Kirk probably feels compelled to honor the commitment. In my mind Shaggy likely ends up being the odd man out today because he's using up a scholarship vs Fitzgerald who's a walkon.
Well he's been dead for 40 years so he's probably forgotten a lot more than that.
I am saying I don’t know what to expect from him is all….son of a coach tells me he probably is a good game manager, but who knows…?
Kirk will probably be announcing his retirement in a couple years, meaning EVERYONE could be on the way out.
And so the hate cycle begins all over because why? 8-9 wins a year. Hey, I'm okay with 8-9 wins but the fanaticals aren't.
3 QBs are on scholarship, I believe (Stratton & Fitz are walk ons....unless that changed)
But the key is that the QB room is taking 5 roster spots of the 105 maximum.
This shows Stratton is on scholarship:
Kittle can certainly afford it. I don’t think Hock or LaPorta are making that kind of money yet. I would expect after Keagan Murray signs his next contract he will be in the same boat as Kittle.
Interesting; did that happen recently? I believe he came in as a Preferred Walk on.
Didn't say anything about hate. Ever heard of retirement age?
No idea. I don't even know if that list is accurate but it's all I could find. 🤷♂️
Nice list of teams voted for in a popularity contest. Football divisions with actual playoffs have actual championships earned through competition.
BTW, mythical national championships won in the last century or two aren't relevant today in the 21st century. Interesting footnotes perhaps, but not relevant in a world of "what have you done for me lately".
You could argue that maybe ten years ago is not relevant.
And we gotta have the deep ball to keep defenses honest.
Now, what WRs are we gonna throw to?
The point is that the next young coach will be damn lucky(probably won't) to win 8-9 games over a 15 year period. Thus the hate starts all over probably by year 2 or less
