[Quintana]

good to see goodson back in there...

 

[funnyfletcher]

I see Brandon Smith listed

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Has Brents played? Is he at a point where he redshirts even if he plays out?

He has played some. Not sure how many games.

 

[funnyfletcher]

He has played some. Not sure how many games.

Looking through some box scores and not seeing his name listed in the participation section. So maybe he hasn’t played at all?

 

[BigOHawk]

Not more than 4 for sure...would be nice to keep a RS on him and space out the secondary...

 

[BigOHawk]

Just read Leistikow's notes...says Brents could play last 3 games and still RS so he's played 1 at the most. What is OJ's injury?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

If healthy he could really help Iowa vs Illinois and Nebby.

brandon smith back and taking a back seat to styrone stacy?

brandon smith back and taking a back seat to styrone stacy?

Naw, all 4 WR's will play, Tracy is really coming on...like another Wandale/Rondale. The real question is...has there been an Oliver Martin sighting and since nobody at WR graduates, wonder where he fits into the pecking order next fall?

yeah i really like brandon smith for sure. he is big and is money. I think tracy is just slightly quicker. martin is a mystery to me. what I am thinking is maybe he's too small. maybe play him on special teams or d back?

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Pretty sure I saw Smith in for at least one play against Minn

 

[citizenHawk]

What is Ojemudia's injury? I haven't heard that info.

 

[kceasthawk]

Looking through some box scores and not seeing his name listed in the participation section. So maybe he hasn’t played at all?

He definetly played in the first few games. Not sure if he hit 4 or not.....

 

[Call me rocket]

Tyrone Tracy reminds me a lot of Indiana’s randel el

 

[funnyfletcher]

He definetly played in the first few games. Not sure if he hit 4 or not.....

I looked through the first four box scores and he wasn’t listed. I thought for sure he has played.

Brandon Smith did play against Minnesota it looks like.

The best WR room since.....??

 

[SLarew]

Brents played one game on special teams. Not sure which game but if healthy he can play on remaining games and stil redshirt

 

[m.stoops2013]

The best WR room since.....??

Ever.

 

[David1979]

Has Brents played? Is he at a point where he redshirts even if he plays out?

Yeah he can play out and still redshirt. Which is why assume he is on there now.

 

[hawkster03]

The announcers mentioned him in for a play. I think it was when ISM maybe went out for a play, dinged up? Can't remember.

 

[hawkster03]

brandon smith back and taking a back seat to styrone stacy?

Well, after the last two performances by TT, you have to play him.

 

[kceasthawk]

This. No doubt OM would be playing a lot if this was a year or two ago, but with the emergence of Smith,ISM, and Tracy all at once, and the staff really liked what they saw of Ragini in the spring and summer camp, he just ended up back in the pack. The staff seems high on Hutson as well, so its a good problem for the Hawks......

 

[gojojo]

No one seems to know why Ojemudia is out. Odd.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Well, after the last two performances by TT, you have to play him.

like the guy a lot. quick. one handed catches. the whole package. brandon smith looks bigger but tracy looks faster. those two are good. ra-GAIN-e looked fairly good as well Saturday, and ISM. I think having those four healthy is great. no problems. dunno what's going on with oliver.

 

[Crafty Beaver]

No one seems to know why Ojemudia is out. Odd.

I keep seeing this question asked & have no inside info...but OJ did limp to the locker room late in the 3rd/early in the 4th against Wiscy & didn't return...so I think it's safe to assume he's dinged.

 

[BigOHawk]

Pretty sure I saw Smith in for at least one play against Minn

You did, at least I heard the announcing crew say that. Btw, loved the booth crew for the game, especially Huard..he's money...

 

[BigOHawk]

Tyrone Tracy reminds me a lot of Indiana’s randel el

And he's slippery and twitch quick, a good skillset to have..

 

[BirdistheWord]

I am less surprised not having Martin show up in the two deeps but moreso that he did not get more reps, especially with B Smith out previously.

Don't think anything is wrong with Martin, just think the 4 you mentioned are better!

 

[hawkquiz]

Max Cooper is ahead of Martin too...hes' not in the top 5

 

[Simbahawk4]

The best WR room since.....??

Danan Hughes, Jon Filloon, Sean Smith, Mike Saunders weren’t too shabby. Watch the “90” Mich game (Big House) Matt Rodgers was tossing the pigskin all around the yard!

‘85 had Helverson, Happel, Smith and Early. That ones not bad either.

 

[OC guru]

brandon smith back and taking a back seat to styrone stacy?

As he should.

 

[FreddyUI]

For Senior Day, I wish Iowa would start as many seniors as possible even if it was for play or two.
Both Paulsons Drew Cook and Nate Weiting.

 

[twindman]

Does a bowl game count in the games played for a redshirt? I assume the guys redshirting would like to get into the bowl game for a few plays.

 

[Blair Sanderson]

What is Ojemudia's injury? I haven't heard that info.

He was in a walking boot (foot/ankle?) and didn't practice at all last week.

Yes, bowl games count.

 

[IowasLaw]

I'm sure Max Cooper is a nice kid and a decent backup WR, but is he really the best of Iowa's 85 scholarship athletes to be returning punts? Most teams put their most dynamic playmaker / quickest burst back there. We put our 7th string WR?
