A bit off topic, but does anyone have vids of the senior day celebration pregame? Always sucks we don't get to see that...... Fran?

They showed just a couple of the seniors being honored with their parents at the beginning of the game. I thought it was interesting that one of them shown was Harris, who was in full pads with eye black even though he refused to play in the game itself.

I've been hard on him but I haven't noticed him that much the past two games.... which is a good thing

I heard that Graves walked out for senior day. I know he's only been there 3 years, but has graduated & probably working towards a masters. But if he walked out, does this mean he's declaring for NFL?

Graves grades out highly. I could see him leaving. As much as the defense took a step back this year next year could really see a drop.

Happy for him. He’s had more rough spots than bright ones during his career. Glad he was able to help out & enjoy himself while doing it.

He was abused last night, transitioned to a turnstile

The defense gave up 17 points per game this year. Good for 10th in the country. It was 15 points per game last year which was good for 4th. Not exactly a steep drop.

There was a noticeable drop this year. You saw it in games against Michigan St and UCLA. Of course once again against an elite offense in OSU the Iowa D had no elite response. Iowa is always aided by its schedule. We play a lot of subpar teams that struggle on offense. This year we lost games because of our defenses inability to stop the other team. We lose our best cover guy, our LB's and several guys on thr DL. Depth is becoming more of an issue on this team.

 

[Auger]

We've only played two offenses all year rated inside the top 50
