Hey guys, just stopped by to get your take on the game. If that is trash talk you got a long , long way to go. Have to admit don't know much about Iowa other than you guys stuck it to Ohio St. We are the only team that had a freshman QB, center and RB, until our QB went down with a knee injury. His backup played pretty well after he went down. Our RB is a beast, we actually flipped him from Michigan , and he seldom goes down on first hit. Our secondary is pretty decent even though we lost a starting CB, but we have taken a big hit at MLB, our last game we flipped an outside LB to the middle and used a converted RB at LB. Don't think anyone is due back for the bowl. If you have any questions on BC, I will be glad to answer as best I can. Merry Christmas and will see some of you in NYC.
Hey Joe, thanks for stopping by. You're seeing our playful attempt at trash talk. I can't imagine anyone on here could come up with a reason to actually hate on you guys, and you're actually one of my favorite teams.....the week each season when you play Notre Dame. You could say the enthusiasm for this game is about as high as the temperatures are expected to be for it. FWIW, here's a very brief capsule about our team, which others here can correct as they see fit.
QB: Soph who can look brilliant or not be within 10 yards of a receiver. Hard to bring down.
RB's: solid group. if we can run decent on you, we win. Wadley can make people look really, really silly.
WR's: enigma. have trouble getting separation and can either make spectacular catches or let the ball bounce off their facemask. Literally.
TE's: very good and deep group. most here would agree that they should've been utilized more
OL: anyone's guess from day to day
DL: good group but struggle to get pressure on QB's mainly because of our scheme and the fact our DC changes things up once every season
LB's: 1 All-american, 1 very solid, 1 cringe-worthy. Again due to DC, they are at times exploited in covering TE's and WR's.
DB's: 1 All-american, and the rest depend on the day
special teams: we lead the nation in fair catches and likely have set a record for all-time, and i struggle to remember a kick-off returned beyond the 50. Very solid kicker but anyone reading this can punt better than our current crop. Seriously. I'm not kidding, and others on here will back me up. we are laughably bad punting the football.
Tear me apart with corrections gang!
