Tom Osborne would always order his soup on a plate. Finally they asked him why and he said that if it was in a bowl he’d lose it.
Brian Ferentz knows more about offensive football than you could ever dream about.
Yeah. Iowa is the better team and should win. Anyone that has watched NU play this year knows they have underachieved.
Yes he does. He is in coaching, I'm not. But he also has a terrible offense and is the reason the Hawks aren't having a special season. Based on what I've seen he doesn't have a brain, and probably won't exploit the match-up because he hasn't all season. Not a hard thing to see.
All you had to say. Hindsight is 20/20. You couldn't OC a Pop Warner team. But, Brain has no brain. Ok.
Has Brents played in 4 games? I don’t know where he is at but my guess at this point is he might be redshirting.
I actually could and have. Man you are not very good at this. You make it easy. Be better. Be more like @FlickShagwell
My thoughts exactly once we broke TT in and Smith 100% healthy again, Brandon is a true X and has better hands but TT is like ISM with the explosiveness both are Flankers/Slots. Our line should overpower that weak D-Line without the help of an additional TE/FB. However if Konservative Kirk comes out again with that boring power run game that doesn’t work and they crowd the line all day it could be one of those classic B10 rainy games.
You mean adjust the game plan to exploit match ups? ...instead of just doing the same thing.
C’mon, man.
His awful Eric Trump haircut aside, I don’t think it’s nice to say he doesn’t have a brain.

Numerous times against Illinois he split their safeties to get TEs and receivers wide open in the deep middle of the field. We didn’t execute, but that pretty much disproves your “just doing the same thing” comment.
Yep. Those were layup TDs. The 2 to the tight ends going into the north endzone and then the underthrow to Wieting after Ojemudia's int. Thats 3 TDs off the board. Nate has to throw it in
OK, we do it some, granted. That's an example. (though not exactly ground breaking stuff)
The phrase too little, too late often comes to mind. More often than not we just "do what we do".
C’mon, man.

Great call on the hair. Maybe I can create an Iowa SAB?
Underachieved or were just overrated by the media preseason?
Dude - every single team in college football “does what they do.” This isn’t PlayStation where you can choose BYU’s playbook one game and Airforce’s the next. There isn’t enough time in the week to install a new system. You can exploit mismatches, which again, every team in cfb tries to do.
The run game hasn’t been great this year, but every play isn’t designed to be 75 yards to the house. Our running game is like a boxer’s jab, used to set everything else we do up.
The staff thinks a lot more about these things than you give them credit for.
Eh.. A lot of that is the media's fault. Over rated yes, but also have underachieved.
C’mon, man.

Um, well, uh, hoo boy, uh, gee, um ...
Great! You have Pop Warner coaching experience, that says it all...
There are many reasons, but Martinez has regressed, we lost some go to play makers in Ozigbo and Morgan. Haven't been able to replicate their success until recently. Also very young and have totally flipped the roster. Still weeding out some of the left over bad eggs from Riley.
There is some of that involved. Our OLB/Special Team coach is bad, until lately our OL has looked bad. As much as fans bitch about Chinander, if you actually go watch the games over, the players are in position, but are just either not making plays or just getting out athleted. Our LB group kills our defense. Secondary is serviceable and D-Line is decent against the run and has some bigger bodies, but the LB group is just bad.
Great post Flick. This is exactly right. I know every fan base has people like this but the idea that you can just implement these crazy 180 degree plans week to week and that every play should be a TD or huge play or it is a failure really comes across as such and ignorant and simplistic mindset. Sometime you run the ball realizing that they aren't going to be big gains to set-up something for later in the game and keep the defense honest.
They better bring someone elses defense then. You do realize that Iowa has held EVERY team but one to their lowest scoring output of the year right? Where will that leave the cornholers?
