I agree. Passing with the QB under center is much more effective. It doesn't necessarily need to be play action every time either. Defenses key on the formation so why give them that advantage. I think it would help our run game to.
Brian punched a wall?

We ran from 3 WR much more often in the first three games, but have gone back to tendencies in the last two games. We need to run from 3 WR and pass from 22.
At least he wasn't the one getting punched, like Jon Buetcher.
Wow and its Illinois week too!True, but it depends on the player. Some of those lineman were big in high school, but a lot of it was baby fat. It took awhile for Doyle to turn them into men. Wirfs is more like AJ. Already very powerful, and athletic. Nationally ranked shot and discus thrower, and state champ wrestler. He's an outlier like Bulaga, or currently Epenesa.
Cute. I've never met any of these players personally. I make that determination based on how Doyle prepares an individual training plan for each incoming athlete. Doyle comments about this and some players openly admit that their first task was to change their body structure. Guys like Carl Davis, and Jaleel Johnson had to shed weight and work on lean muscle mass. Both came to Iowa closer to 340 lbs and had to get down to a leaner more conditioned weight. You see a lot of these kids who are over 300 lbs in high school and their not toned and well conditioned. Aleric Jackson had some of these issues as well. Now look at Wirfs and AJ Epenesa. Totally different animal.
Jackson came in at 285 lbs , how do you know that Wirff didn't come in over weight?
I actually agree with the premise of what you're saying in terms of acting like an adult. There's a difference between showing passion and losing control.
There is no quick fix with the Iowa offense but I agree with those who are essentially saying our play calling is too predictable based upon the formations we are in. I also think it would make sense to pass more on 1st Down and to use the pass to establish the run.
From my vantage point (so obviously take it with a grain of salt), it seems the coaches might be a little too stubborn and arrogant with trying to establish the run at all costs. Again, the Hayden Fry mantra: "Scratch where it itches."
So back to BF punching the wall. Right after the game? What do you think set him off? Rushing yards, O line, turnovers, the loss...everything. Can coaches be fined?
I hope he used the "I thought I saw a bug" excuse if any damage was done to MSU property.
After watching their horse s--t blocking I punched a wall. And I don't even coach them
Because the coaches have said that he's right where they want him at about 315lbs. I trust that they know when these big guys come in if their ready or not. Thats why he's been fast tracked since he got to Iowa City.
and that is why he is still the backup and not a starter. again poster trying to know more than the coaches in how to run their team
Yeah ok blah blah blah, whatever..............at some point we are getting the suckers back though, right
Here is an article from hawkeye sports where they talk about Tristan's weight. He cut weight to get to 285 and he doesn't look very flabby here.
So can probably try to keep up on current events and not stay on history with stars.
285http://www.hawkeyesports.com/news/2017/10/4/football-freshman-profile-tristan-wirfs.aspx
this was why I liked the move of Kirkpatrick from the DL to the OL, Reiff was a DL, Boettger was defensive POY as a SR in HS, also getting wrestlers for both the OL and DL as wrestlers have a built in nastiness. Wirff will be a starter for 3 years. it would not surprise me if its at Guard, as I could see Kallenberger at RT to have the OL look like this
LT 6'7 320 lb Jackson
LG 6'5 315 lb Wirff
C 6'4 295 lb Daniels
RG 6'5 305 lb Levi Paulsen
RT 6'6 285 lb Kallenberger he is RS'ing so I am guessing he will be over 300 lbs as a RSFR.
then you add players like Kirkpatric, Innce, Jenkins, Plumb the OL will continue to get bigger and better.
and I hope you never misspell anything for the rest of your life.
I'll bet he didn't break a hole in it. Walls have a pretty good understanding of his strategy.

Well your assuming I said I know more than the coaches, (which I never did). Of course you know what happens when you assume, right? I also never said that he WAS starting, I said that they have been trying to push him forward as fast as possible, both because they think he can do it, and out of need of course. Numerous comments have been reported here, from KF, BF and coach Tim, on this subject.
Let's not pretend his last name didn't get him in the door of the coaching profession.
wayy too sugar-coated. Calling the offense comatose would be implying it's way better than it actually is. The reality is it has zero life or brain activity.
His father has never understood the "emotion" side of Hawkeye football. Hayden got it, I'm surprised KF didn't learn that from Fry.
Who ever thought Kilroy would have a handle that got up to 70+ likes? Not this guy. He must have went to one of those "like farms" to build up his stats.
His name may have gotten him in the door, but Belichcik didn't promote him to TE coach because of his name.
yeah and never saw the field till the 4th Quarter, 2 carries to start the game does not = major playing time. nor does it = permanent starter.
you quoted this: "Because the coaches have said that he's right where they want him at about 315lbs. I trust that they know when these big guys come in if their ready or not. Thats why he's been fast tracked since he got to Iowa City."
are you so effing retarded you think young weighs 315 pounds?
wait..dont answer that.
