It would be nice to Play UNI, Akron, Kansas, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor and Texas. That would be 7 wins right there. Then you just split with OU, OSU, WVU and K State. Add in ISU and that is a pretty easy 10 win schedule there.
With our schedule I think top end is 9 wins and we probably end up with 7 or 8 wins.
Assessing schedule strength in March is always accurate. Why don't you just worry about Wyoming?
I take preseason predictions in March very seriously. It doesn't really matter how many wins Iowa gets. It's always Fire Kirk time at some point in the year.
Yeah I was way wrong on Jaleel. No clue how you guys are going to replace him, he was a stud
I am just a fan, I don't have to take these games one at a time.
I do agree a tough schedule in the preseason doesn't always turn out that way. ISU for instance played what turned out to be a weak UNI team, an average Iowa team a horrible San Jose, Tech, Texas, and Kansas teams. Baylor and TCU were down and bad. West Virginia and K State turned out being good and OU and OSU were very good.
I actually think Iowa will do better than most people expect this year. Expectations will be lower and that's usually when Iowa does the best and the Big Ten will be really poor defensively again so a perfect time to break in a new QB
Next man in. It is called player development and you should get used to the name Cedrick Lattimore. He gonna be good.
You think Mashup is a position coach or a coordinator? Due to his join date, I'm thinking he might be KOK myself, but I've been fooled before.
Too bad he wasn't some random fan that doesn't have to start implementing a Wyoming game plan in March.
They won 8 games with an easier schedule and likely a better QB than they will have this year (not a knock on the young QB, he's just very inexperienced).
Vandeberg is a nice player but they need another guy to emerge as a threat also.
Jewell is a pretty decent player but not someone who is going to wow you. Wasn't he 2nd team all conference last year in a really weak defensive league?
CJB was not very good at all last year. He had little to zero pocket presence and hardly ever ran. I just don't see how we can be much worse at the QB position as last year quite frankly. I see Stanley making more things happen combined with more mistakes.
CJ not having anyone to throw to didn't really help at all. Losing his top 2 receiving threats didn't help any. One of my main gripes with Ferentz has been his inability to recruit/develop NFL caliber receivers, there have been some very good receivers during KF's tenure, but very few and far between.
