Could have used those punt returns today instead of a terrified return game.
Charlie Jones has had a great year and will be playing on a huge stage in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Love Charlie, hell of a player. Definately helped his draft stock with the transfer!
Glad Charlie got the hell out of this sh!tty offense. He knew what was coming. Sad part is the same putrid offense is here until KF retires.
Purdue could easily lose to Indiana. It has been that kind of year.
I just don’t get why you are still posting about Charlie Jones.
Illinois might lose as well. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
If that scenario played out, F5n5, Pisstache, MarkfromJ, HawkDoggy, Natchrlman et al would all be here crowing about how it was exactly how KF planned it and Iowa was still smarter/better-prepared, and morally pristine than anyone in the world.
I remember a couple years back when Ferentz in a post game said Jones was kind of annoying. I wonder if Kirk now thinks an inept kick and punt return team is more annoying
Bruce should have never been back there returning punts. Had no clue what he was supposed to do.
Charlie has 143 yards receiving today.
Did we have a WR accumulate 143 yards all season??
Did we have a WR accumulate 143 yards all season??
I know that was rhetorical, but ragaini had 365 and Bruce had 187. How inept is it that your hyperbolic rhetorical is almost true...

I actually looked it up because I would have believed it….we were close!
I think our receivers were around like 750 yards receiving for the season. That’s like 60 yards a game. Those are insane numbers and not in a good way!

Looks like line is projected at -17.5 UM….not surprising. This won’t be pretty. It never was going to be, but especially with Purdue.
since it's Thanksgiving time, just want to say "Thanks for Charlie"
Happy to see him doing so well. Wish it was at Iowa, but our offense can only take so many playmakers and we were at our quota. 😊
Good for Charlie......great business decision on his part and great season by him.......however, he gets to get his a$$ kicked by Michigan in the B1G championship game two years in a row. 
That is some awesome production from the wr position. 2 years in a row blowing it out of the water.
Could have easily been the difference pushing Iowa on to its 2nd Western Division title in two years, and return against Michigan. His team mates needed him in the mix, may have been the difference vs Iowa State, Illinois, and Nebraska at least, who know maybe Michigan at Kinnick. If so, a real shot at the CFP with a a second shot at OSU. Sadly, Charlie does not have much of the team concept working for him, but I wish him all the best

Thanks for your input.
No coach, at any power five school would be allowed to hire and keep his son as an OC paid nearly a million$ a year for factually the worst offense in all of college football.
If I offend you I beg you, put me on ignore.
Kirk is a douche and you love it. Look in the mirror.
I certainly understand why Charlie transferred to Purdue. The only problem I had was him participating in Spring practice at Iowa and then transferring, leaving Iowa with a terrible void. As kind of a back story was the fact that coming out of high school no one recruited him and he walked on at Buffalo, walked on at Iowa because no one would offer him a scholarship. It took his childhood friend Aidan O'donnell convincing Coach Brohm to take him at Purdue.
I think some things he said when interviewed by Dave Revsin of Big Ten Network during this season may be why the no scholarship offerings. He said in that interview that one semester he was on probation for grades or required education advancement, he did not say. I wonder if academics or the lacking in them was the reason for coaches since high school did not want to offer a scholarship to a poor student. Also in that interview he indicated the offense at his high school did not feature or utilize passing.
Duh. I’m shocked Iowa controlled its own destiny heading into the last week of the season. The ineptitude on the offensive side of the ball was embarrassing.
So, in seasons like this, you have to find the small moments that made you happy. I would argue that Iowa played its best game of the year against Purdue.
So that game sticks out in my mind as a good moment in a rather abysmal year.
