Iowa vs Iowa State
- Thread starter Hawks4Life
- Start date
I've come to the conclusion that this post was made by one of us.
There isn't a person in the country who thinks Iowa's RB or receivers are better than ours, and that includes Kirk Ferentz.
BTW, it's not even close.
I would take Moeki over Franklin, though.
I think Iowa will have the worst RB's of any team we play this year.
I think they said he was cramping/dehydrated, which is Kirk Ferentz talk for broken knee or paralysis.
QB: ISU Lean (very close though)
RB: ISU (Until we see Brinson/Wegher, it definitely goes to ISU)
OL: Iowa (Hopefully everyone is in there this week)
TE: Iowa (If you think this is close, put down the kool aid, you obviously didn't watch Moeaki on Saturday)
WR: ISU Lean (A lot closer than ISU fans want to admit)
DL: Iowa
LB: Iowa
DB: Push

QB- Toss Up
WR- Toss Up

DB- Toss Up
Home Field Advantage- ISU
I expect this to be a hell of a game, with one team pulling away with a TD late in the game (kind of like '05). Obviously I think Iowa will win. But most of you are going to say ISU. I say: 24-16 Iowa.
- Those of you saying Arnaud is much better than Stanzi are crazy. I understand the only time some of you might have seen Ricky are against ISU last year, but I assure you Ricky has improved a lot since then. His QB rating was higher last year, and had a more impressive first game this season (16-21 in the 2nd half).
WR- Toss Up
- You can say ISU has depth, well so does Iowa. McNutt, DJK, Stross, Keenan Davis, Paul Chaney Jr. Iowa goes 5 deep at WR, and DJK, McNutt, Davis have just as much, if not more, TALENT than the ISU receivers.
- Anyone saying this is close is not paying much attention. When Moeaki is healthy, he is one of the top TEs in the country. Reisner is a good enough TE to start at a lot of schools, and makes one of the best 2nd TEs in the country.
DL-Iowa
LB- Iowa
DB- Toss Up
- Depending how Prater performs when he gets back in 2 weeks, this could go ADV- Iowa. But that will be after the ISU game. Spievey is simply one of the best. However, Greenwood and Castillo leave much to be desired for.
- The kicking game is pretty much even, and the return games are too. Maybe a slight edge to Iowa St. You can call the 2 blocked field goals for Iowa a fluke if you want, but the fact is that the Iowa line collapsed UNI's line, and that's why Iowa got the blocks.

Dumb Squawk fan sed: "You can call the 2 blocked field goals for Iowa a fluke if you want, but the fact is that the Iowa line collapsed UNI's line, and that's why Iowa got the blocks."
Yoda sez: Line-drive kicker will get his junked blocked. Even his makes were bullets. Only a matter of time before some team figures it out. Guess even Hawks can learn something in jail.

Stanzi is a good quarterback. He just doesn't have the complete package that Arnaud does.
You gave the advantage to Iowa for RB and WR??? Take off your black and gold glasses. I seriously chuckled out loud and I still have a grin on my face as I type this.
NO......
wsrgohawks: Special teams go to ISU. Just bc you blocked 2 fg's does not give the advantage to Iowa.. Yes, it did win you the game, but still... ISU has 2 GREAT returners, with Sims and Johnson. And our kicker made a 50 yd fg, that would have been good from 60.

You won't get the opportunity to return any punts against Iowa because Ryan Donahue is won of the better punters there is. Donahue is a big reason Iowa ended up beating UNI. 50 yard field goals are a dime a dozen now a days. If the edge goes to Iowa St, it is a very slight edge at that.
And I never said Iowa has the edge....I said it is a toss up
Stanzi's First Game:
- 22/34 Passing for 242 yards and 1 TD
- 5 Carries for -36 yards and 0 TD
- 16/28 Passing for 227 yards and 2 TD
- 16 Carries for 83 yards and 1 TD
QB- Toss Up
RB- Iowa State Good Job

His QB rating was higher last year, and had a more impressive first game this season WRONG(16-21 in the 2nd half) <---- PROOF I was at the game, Stanzi cannot handle pressure at all. If ISU blitzes like I think they will, Stanzi will need to change his pants by halftime.
WR- Toss Up
After attending the Iowa game last weekend, I must actually say that Iowa has the advantage at receiver. Mcnutt is a great target for the Hawks, DJK didnt play a whole lot, but did look good when he got in. Stross made an amazing catch and played consistent all game. Freshman Keenan Davis has hops and hands, he is a freak.

TE- Iowa
OL- Iowa Yup
- Anyone saying this is close is not paying much attention. When Moeaki is healthy, he is one of the top TEs in the country. Reisner is a good enough TE to start at a lot of schools, and makes one of the best 2nd TEs in the country. Yup
DL-Iowa Yup
LB- Iowa I didnt pay close enough attention on Saturday, but UNI did tear the Hawks up in just about ever part of the game, so I'm gonna push this one.
DB- Toss Up Wrong. Prater doesnt get to play this week. He sits out this week due to suspension. Spievey did impress but the Iowa defensive back corps as a whole failed miserably on Saturday.
Special Teams- Toss Up
- Depending how Prater performs when he gets back in 2 weeks, this could go ADV- Iowa. But that will be after the ISU game. Spievey is simply one of the best. However, Greenwood and Castillo leave much to be desired for.
Totally wrong. Hallgren doesnt have a leg so he drives his kicks. His first field goal that he made barely got over his linemen's head because he kicks them so low. Iowa did get a good push, but throw in Murray, Mossbrucker or Mahoney into that situation (all M names, tee hee hee), and they get it up and over the line.
- The kicking game is pretty much even, and the return games are too. Maybe a slight edge to Iowa St. You can call the 2 blocked field goals for Iowa a fluke if you want, but the fact is that the Iowa line collapsed UNI's line, and that's why Iowa got the blocks.
Coaching- Iowa I think we'll find out Saturday who comes up with a better game plan.
Home Field Advantage- ISU Duh?

Obviously you probably thougth Iowa would blow UNI out last weekend too right?
I like your break down a lot better than the OP...so I'll use yours to break down.
Yeah, but if Stanzi had more carries, he'd have a lot more yards.

Debating with wrsgohawks is like punching through an asbestos-filled wall.
Sure, at the moment it may be rewarding but in the end, all you get is infected.

Fixed it.
Those two returners I said were kick returners, not punt returners. So, if your kicker can kick it out of the endzone everytime, then that would be good.
