3rd and 6 pass for 3 yds punt. Iowa Offense in a nutshell.
“Let them eat cake” didn’t work out so well either.
Good article Adam!New from me:
Go Iowa Awesome - Brian Ferentz Had Better Be Right
Brian Ferentz dug in on keeping the Iowa offense the same in 2023.
Funny how that differs from all the buzz to the contrary we were hearing from players.
How many of those 2nd and 1s were checked to a run at the line and how many of those lost yards? My guess is a lot, and almost all of them.
I remember reading that. It was in reference to how hard he throws the ball.
Agree that most of us don't know much about the specifics and details of running an offense at the collegiate level (or any level for that matter). But, like pornography, while hard to define, we know it when we see it, the same holds true for what we've witnessed with Iowa's offense, we may not know the technical reasons for it, but it has not been good for awhile. Yes, there have been bright spots along the way, but it is never consistent, e.g., wallop OSU, scoring 55 points, and the next week against Wisconsin they muster 50 yards of offense. Last year stands on its own. Was it a personnel problem? Definitely. Last year's OL was terrible. But all of that ultimately points back to the coaches to figure it out.
I'm to the point where I don't really care if he personally succeeds. I mean I don't want him to fail in life, and do want Iowa football to succeed, but I sure wouldn't be bothered if we do that in spite of the offense this year, not because of it. If he's gone because we don't make the amount of points per game, and thus his contract is not renewed, I will look forward to the next offensive regime.
That's a fair criticism. There was a defiance in his tone yesterday.
This is fantastic😂. Is that why you have been firing off posts all morning including 5 consecutive in this thread? JFC. We really wish you could take a vacation from caring so much so we wouldn't have to sift through your ridiculous amount of posts for awhile.....but we know this has become your sad identity.
I don't think BFz is cutout for the pressure of a OC or HC. He's best as a position assistant. He comes off as a real jerk.
Kirk basically admitted this too when he stated changing out Petras would not make any difference. Kirk knew the OL was not close to par and there was no magic fix for it mid-season.
Maybe then you could tell us why you even pay attention when in your view things are so terrible and you know nothing changes until Kirk retires and that won't be any time soon. Talk about someone having a boner for something. I really don't get that but maybe you can explain it. If I was as worn out on Kirk as you are, I would be long gone doing some hobbies until old Kirk hangs it up.
I think he handled it better than say 90% of us would have if asked the same stuff. I wouldn't have taken that question well at all. And if it plays out like I think the season will, I would make sure I was calling on old Scott multiple times in that final press conference of the year, just to make sure he got to ask all his. I think we will score much more and people will complain we scored too much.
Well, lookit Ol' Potter Stewart over here.
Objection your honor, counsel is arguing facts not in evidence.
