Yes. This was your reaction when I told you Wadley was better than Warren going into last season, and look how that played out. Iowa always has very good corners and this year is no different just because they aren't multi-year starters.
OK - who wins the game on Sept. 9th ?
- Thread starter Yellow Snow
- Start date

Iowa's corners are unproven, ISU has Peavy. That alone gets them the nod. I'm not going to say ISU's TE is better than Iowa's just because we have Chase Allen who is better than anyone you have because he hasn't proved anything yet.
No. You said Park could turn out to be the best JUCO QB since Aaron Rodgers. Between Rodgers and Park there was this guy name Cam who was pretty good.
We can re-visit this at the end of the year if you'd like, but I have a feeling you're not going to want to.
Also, you're not going to say Iowa State is better at TE because they aren't. Allen may be a decent player but Fant is better.
Pretty sure that Arugula was the circle jerk du jour for Hok nation yesterday. Heard him being big upped on radio/podcast yesterday.
Heck yeah I will take Ferentz overall results. You wouldn't take 2 conference titles, 3 BCS bowl appearances and 5 top 10 finishes over the last 16 years?
When I said Ferentz isn't perfect I am specifically talking to his ability to lose games to double digit underdogs. Over the last 14 years I think Ferentz has lost to like 12 or 13 teams that Iowa was a double digit favorite to beat. I think 5 of those losses are to ISU. Ferentz is 9-5 vs ISU the last 14 years. It is very frustrating that Ferentz teams find a way to lose to inferior teams so often, there is no doubt about that. It isn't just losing to ISU, Ferentz loses to many other inferior teams (double digit underdogs).
This was written the day before he committed to ISU

Several reasons.
1) ISU doesn't even use its TE. How many catches did ISU TE have last year?
2) Allen hasn't even played a snap
3) Fant showed last year that he can make plays
4) If you are looking at recruits pedigree, Iowa took Fant out of Nebraska and Nebraska really, really wanted Fant. That is just as good as Michigan needing a fallback TE so they offered Allen.
Michigan was still recruiting him but would not have accepted a commitment from him. They had bigger fish to fry at TE (your article confirms they were recruiting at least a couple other TEs still). In fact, Michigan later got a commitment from the 4* TE they ACTUALLY wanted.
