Just expect the same dogshit offense and you won’t be disappointed.
Per usual after a bye, at the end of the first quarter we’ll all be asking, “Did they f’n work on anything the past two weeks?!?!?!!”

Yep, after a bye week we usually find ourselves wondering if they practiced at all over the last 13 days.
i'm prepared for 40 yards of total offense. now i dare brian ferentz to surprise me
I've already got myself in the mindset that it's going to be even worse than I think.
I know what I was up to , at that age, in Ottumwa, hanging out at IHCC and drinking beer. Of course, I wasn't a football player. Heck I wasn't even usually awake in time to watch football on Saturdays.
I am already thanking the Big Ten for letting this game be shown on Peacock. I am looking forward to an enjoyable day of college football without the 3 hour block of frustration and disappointment.
Unfortunately, we have Peacock.
This time it will be blamed on the coaching announcement as to why we played poorly on the offensive side of the ball.
I actually hope we come out with an entirely different schematic, but that's about a .1% chance.
That’s because it’s Goetz’s fault for firing Brian with 4 games to go. Kirk and Brian had a master plan they’ve been saving up. Now that’s all gone to pot! 😏
Yeah, I had heard through the grapevine that THIS was the game in which they were going to unleash the offense. Now 7 years of planning and anticipation up to this game down the drain.
Yep. None of us know what goes into game planning like rest of the guys. It’s incredible what Brian was going to do this weekend but now that’s out the window. Unleash the hounds!
Like most I just set the bar wayyyyy low and then be pleasantly surprised if they do anything at all on offense.
You forgot to mention they’re very likely to have some delay of game penalties after getting the plays in too late, along with some last minute timeouts because they have too few or too many players in the huddle. The offense goes back to square one every damned time after a bye week.
My advice to all of us is to start drinking heavily.
Same - I set the expectation (outside the 1st drive) the offense will not get a first down each series. It's way less frustrating that way
My hope is that Deacon Hill at least holds the ball above his waist. Seems the minimum amount of coaching you might expect after two weeks.

Square one would be huge upgrade in my opinion.
I think from Kirk's comments and from other years the team pretty much rested from football the first week of the two weeks. They might have done strength and conditioning work, probably did, to keep limber etc. They might have watch tape of Minny game for sure and then started watching video of NW. I supposed some of the players may have worked out football-wise on their own (I could sure see the qbs and the WRs throwing the ball around).
It seemed it was a Kirk quote from a couple days ago the leads me to believe they took at least 4 or 5 days off from practicing.
I do not expect to see a lot of new stuff but I hope the passing game looks better to open up the run game. They need to work on draw type delay runs and some screen passes, and even some long passes
Hard to believe this season started out with the first pass being about a 40 TD!!!
Yeah, some of the best qbs of all time like Namath, Marino, Montana, Brady were always having the ball up about their shoulders, maybe patting the ball, and they did not have a big windup but could bring the ball right past their ear and fling it very quickly.
Good observation by you. Hil and some QBs are like the 7 ft bball center who gets a rebound and brings it down below his waist just daring the defense to slap it away
I guess I should say I wasn't even thinking of his throwing motion as much as ball security, but yes, bonus!
I can see Brian showing the offense film of an outside zone in 2002, “You see how Robert Gallery executed perfectly that block?? Although it’s now illegal technically but who cares. We need to roll out on some of these play actions like Brad Banks with his threat to run. Why aren’t we doing that guys?”
Any updates to the early line on number of Deacon Hill turnovers?
I read O/U was at 6.
I read O/U was at 6.
Hold my beer... Brian FerentzBut if I'm always disappointed........I can't be any more disappointed.
Like a pass that's to a wr about 3 yards off the line with a 10 yard cushion?
I expect more of the same after 8 games. Anybody else that is looking for something different is a fool.
