Iowa had 2 tight ends destroy osu, but were nowhere to be found one week later. Did Wisc. game plan to take them out of the game? Sure. Did that open something else for the Hawks? What does KF look for in a TE when recruiting them blocking or catching? Did they help the Iowa rushing attack Saturday? See stats. The Iowa receivers have probably played that position for five years and caught many passes. Did KF look at them as blockers first and plan on "developing" their hands once they got on campus? How does a head coach that is supposed to be great at developing O-linemen and having them all play multiple positions find himself needing to play Freshmen instead of the reserve upper class men? Any number of those things SHOULD be under the coaches control. Too many misses to blame the players.
and how dropped passes did they have vs the catches they made vs OSU. when TE's and WR's catch the ball the coaches called a great game, but you let those same players drop passes or don't catch those passes on the exact same play then the coaches get ripped for not calling the plays right,
those Upper classmen are all out with injuries, this is not the NFL where the GM can get on the phone to see who is available.
RSSR Boettger done for the season
his backup RSJR LeGrand done for the season
RSSR Myer day to day
RSJR Ferguson done for the season
Levi is the backup at RT, RG and LT
his brother is 3rd behind JR Render and JR Reynolds
that makes 3 OL out for the season and 3 regular starters still playing with Banwart and Williams being the backups at Center.
Can't make it any simpler than that
as for the WR's and TE's not sure what I can tell you TE RSSR Wisienski has been hurt his entire carreer and he was a 4* by ESPN and the 7th best TE,
JR WR Falconer just has not panned out
SO WR Young has not come thru
SR RB Butler missed 5 games because of that elbow injury which has allowed the opposing team to tee off on Wadley and force the 1st Year QB Stanley with those 1st year starters beat them thru the air,
