Classic Ferentz

Consistency, that is my complaint. Under Ferentz this team is not consistent. Play a great game against OSU last week and then put up this abortion against Wisconsin a week later.

Good coaches have their teams playing with some sort of consistency from week to week. With Iowa you never can be sure. Will it be a legendary performance or will it be a turd?

Wisconsin sucks!! They have played one of the weakest schedules in college football. They will get piss pounded in BIG championship game!
Right. One of the better defensive teams in the country, a Heisman candidate running back, solid O and D lines. If you think they suck, you don't know much about college football.
 
Why do some of you keep making excuses for these types of performances? One big win a year is good enough for you people? That's loser talk.

Agreed. Wisconsin is good, but they aren't this good. Iowa was so unbelievably unprepared for this game.

I did not buy into Brian solving offensive woes last week. He really isn't suited as an OC. 50 total yards against Wisconsin is proof enough.

Hanging this on Brian I believe is not seeing the full picture.

Let's face it. Nate Stanley had a terrible game. And I hate to bag on him cause he's just a kid and all that.

And aside from that, we got the punt return team letting the ball roll 10+ a bunch of times today. We got a punter whom after the first quarter WITH the wind hit short punts while backed up.

I guess I don't know what exactly Brian is supposed to do with his play calls when your QB is too slow getting the ball out, receivers are mostly being missed, the receivers are dropping what they do get to their hands, and half the drives start at the 10?

Will see when they play a good team....they haven't played one yet! I know you can't have 12 pillow fights and then think your good. They win the BIG championship...I will certainly have a different opinion. This is a 2015 Iowa season part 2. Dodged the best teams, lost in BIG championship, piss pounded in bowl game. You heard it hear first football genius!!
 
Exactly.
Somehow, to these people the outlier games (OSU, Mich last year) are the real Hawks.
The difference is when I see Iowa play great, I expect that week in and week out. We know what you are capable of, now do it consistently. We play 3/4 as good as last week and we beat the Badgers. Instead I saw a shell of that team from one week ago.
 
KF/BF, spend some of that 4 million or so and pay for some outside critique of your offense. I'm sure Belichek could diagnose some of the issues from this Wisconsin Tape.

They don't "suck", but they are one of the least impressive undefeated teams that I've seen. To beat them a team has to make them pass...Iowa caused their freshman running back to fumble three times, but only recovered one. I would have liked to play Wisky in Kinnick. Looking forward to next year's match-up already :)

Well, I saw an OSU play terrible last week, and a Wisc team today that looked out of our league.
It's all perception, I guess.
 
Wisconsin is consistent, week on week out, and now year in year out. They are flat out consistently better whereas Iowa catches lightning in a bottle once or twice a year.

Change the QB, draws, miss direction, short passing game, screens, quadruple reverse, anything different! I agree Stanley was struggling. The coaches job is to adjust the game or replace him. It probably wouldn't have mattered....it's the fact they don't try!
 
Fire everyone except PP!;) Wisconsin is good but not that good! We were not prepared for this game! I’m a big KF fan but this is on him! Josh Jackson should play offense and be our return man on KR & PR.

I haven't seen their RB in any serious Heisman list.
