Iowa Football Recruiting

Awful, just awful. Bad trolling by all sides in this one. Everyone agrees with me. Disappointing.

I'm not trolling. Iowa sucks, and they are going to suck a lot more quickly, while we continue to improve. We will start winning more games than them, despite playing a much more difficult schedule starting next year.

No, you are. And doing very poorly at it. Which is why I won't feel bad for making fun of you for not knowing how to use the proper there/they're/their above.

Message board grammar police are the best. I'm sorry I'm not typing a paper, so I didn't check for grammatical errors. I also love those who disagree with someone and automatically calls them a "troll". You are a stereotypical message board dbag. But at least you think you are cool, so you've got that going for you,

There, this is serviceable trolling.

Based on the offensive line play of ISU?
 
Based on the offensive line play of ISU?
Our offensive line improved tremendously throughout conference play. And we had to patch things together and learn how to play the right way. We weren't good up front in the beginning of the year, but we got better and better as the year progressed. We get Campos back and have a bunch of large young bodies that one of the best offensive line coaches in the country is going to turn into monsters. I'm extremely high on the offensive line with this coaching staff.
 
It remains to be seen, but it is what ISU should have been doing for the last 10 years. If ISU had early season line play, they'd have a 50/50 chance to beat Iowa every season. But at this point I don't see any way they'd be a better team at the end of the year, notwithstanding an early season win over Iowa. That's probably going to change on a semi regular basis going forward, but that isn't the case now.

I hold the belief that if ISU had concentrated on developing in state recruits for offensive line play and ran the ball, they should have been no worse than .500 for the last decade. Historically if you look at the B12's OOC and records against T25 going .500 given the overall lack of defense was/is obtainable.

Iowa played 5 T25 last season, ISU played 3. the B12 had two teams over .500 against T25, and one was Texas. The B1G had 3, but head to head the B1G played more T25 games. Obviously there are more teams. I looked this up quicly as well as some head to head games. It is what it is.

Your point about a tougher schedule for ISU lacks factual basis in the last several seasons. Having said this, given the easier schedule and overall ease of beating a B12 teams with a running and ball control offense, there is no reason your new staff should have ISU @ .500 by year 3.

Are the early season OOC games where many teams are figuring what they have the only ones that matter, or do bowl games (when teams should be completely gelled) matter more?

What's Iowa State's record against Ferentz?

Also the Big Ten defenses were a complete joke this year
 
It's funny, because the Big 12 gets trashed for defense and the narrative is "the offensive numbers are great but it's because the defenses are horrible" yet often when these high powered offenses play OOC teams, they still put up video game numbers.

Big 12 defenses were much better than Big 10 defenses this year. Not even close
