I agree Harris will be good...i think Bower and Nieman can be good, probably next year though
i think that effects the LB's more than Ott....which is honestly a scary thought. We'll see....I think Bower and nieman show promise but they're probably a year away. A lot depends on johnson/Bazata and if Cooper can make it back. If we're weak up front we're in trouble. I think johnson can be good but Bazata is probably 10-15 lbs and a year away.
One thought on the Clones...the Juco DT looks like the real deal (forgot the name) if he can stay healthy he's a difference maker. Looks explosive / with a high motor. A little short but in the college game he'll do just fine, might cause some of the bigger interior O-linemen some problems.
Yeah, he looks to be pretty decent, but he'll need some help, otherwise teams will just double him. I like Trent Tucker too though on the outside.
Not sold at all on Jordan Harris.... yet. He wasn't good enough to play last year, so who knows what we'll see this year? He didn't do a whole lot in the spring game IMO.
Both teams' LB's will be pretty bad IMO. And both teams' offenses will be pretty bad too IMO. It could be an all time ugly game when Iowa and ISU face off this year. There won't be a whole lot of good football going on.
The thing about DT's is...if they're absorbing a double team they're doing their job and making life easier for the LB's. If he can do that....still a difference maker. Harris has the tools though...so he could be good if the "light goes on"....
the key for the clones on offense is quite simply the o-line. You guys have talent at WR so if the o-line can improve and can provide any kind of running game....you guys could see improvement on the offensive side of the ball. Need a running game to keep teams honest though. for the Hawks? Too many ???? on the o-line and WR after smith. If the o-line is decent and we get somebody to step up besides smith at WR we could be o.k.
I think Jaleel will be solid but no drop off? Don't agree there. Carl Davis was a double team every play. Jaleel won't be that..this year any way. And I agree that Ott, while a stud, benefited from having big Carl next to him soaking up 2 Olineman every play. Not just drinking Koolaid here but ISU defense will be vastly improved from last years disaster. Last year we had 250lb true freshman playing at DT at times. This year he's not even 3rd string...big difference. 3-4 new jucos will be starting on D this year and that is a very good sign IMO. LB, outside of Harris, will be a ? Mark no doubt. Secondary, like Iowa, will be the strength of the defense.
Tevaun is a stud and I think he will have a great year. I'm not convinced Canzeri is the answer at RB and can last the year in the BIG will be necessary for someone else to step up at RB at Iowa this year. Same goes for ISU..Warren and Brown appear talented and are bigger than what we've had In the past...yet completely unproven.
Iowa should win 6 games with that schedule...if they don't it could be Kf last year. I'd say ISU should beat Iowa this year as I think Iowa will struggle early on offense(as usual) but it's the cy hawk game and just throw out everything cause really bad ISU teams have beaten decent Iowa teams.
Glad you could revive this thread after 8 months. Can we please ban this tool? Blatant troll.
Dang stormin, I gotta give you credit here. Other than predicting cjb to be better than favre, you were spot on!
All the posts and exhaustive blowhardishness about how JR was the better QB and should start for Iowa ahead of CJB... ah, the memories.
