***OFFICIAL IOWA/ISU WEEK THREAD***

Iowa things that stuck out to me, Stanley will be in trouble against teams with good d ends and linebackers. Was not impressed with him, wadley and others made him look better than he is. Deep ball was horrendous. We had no reason to have anybody farther than 10-15 yards down field. Iowa is slow, let me resay that Iowa is SLOW. Ohio State and Penn State will go nuts on Iowa. Any run outside the tackles went backwards as our guys just flew to any stretch plays. Need to stay downhill with this group.

We can't drop that many passes, was the game changer. In 1 1/2 years, coach has got the offense pieced together decently. Give him two more recruiting classes (still only 3 full ones for him) and he has this team above any of our last 5-6 coaches.
 
Pretty telling that Iowa fans don’t have a problem saying Montgomery is better than they thought going into the season. At the same time ISU fans trying to rip apart a really good performance by Nate Stanley. Reminds of me when ISU fans thought Lanning > CJ.
 
So who here took the "both teams score >40" bet?

I sure as hell didn't. Both offenses looked pretty good, both defenses looked pretty terrible/worn down. Very exciting game to watch. Stanley was a surprise (dude's really gotta work on the long ball, though). Wadley was Wadley. Montgomery also exceeded expectations I thought, I can't count on both hands how many tackles he shredded today.

Very small sidenote: I didn't like Warren returning kicks. He was very hesitant in deciding where to go.

I told my wife as we drove to the game party where we watching the game at that whatever I typically think will happen in this game it is 100% the opposite. I told her I think it will be a defensive game and of course it turned into a shoot out.

I personally am giving Stanley credit. He did what I thought he couldn't and that was the difference in the game. With that said, Wadkey won't be there to save you next year. We are very close to becoming the better program. You can see the change happening. Next year won't be close, and considering we have the better coach and our recruiting momentum, we may not lose this game again for awhile. The future is bright.

Lazard will be gone. Will Park be gone as well? Both programs will loose a fair amount. No question, Iowa will struggle to replace Akron.

This will make it three games in a row that you've said the same thing. Lose rinse repeat.

Yes, let's take what a couple Iowa State fans are saying to paint the whole fan base.

Iowa loses a lot more. Park will be back, Montgomery will be back and we will have another year of CMC recruiting.

If the Hawkeye discussions would end, I wouldn't post here. You don't see me in Cyclone threads, or off topic threads, I only post here in the Hawkeye obsession threads. I must admit I am obsessed with the Hawks and that is why I am here!

He had one good game because the entire defense was focused on the running game. I wouldn't say you've replaced CJ.

-Every year ISU D is focused on Iowa's running game, and CJ didn't throw for 330 and 5 TD's
-According to ISU fans Stanley is throwing to WR that wouldn't even see the field for ISU
-You should probably be concerned that according to ISU fans a bad QB and bad WR's on a BigTen team that can play offense scorched your secondary for 330 yards and 5 TD's.

Also, don't forget that many felt that the ISU defensive backfield would be solid to really good this year.

You're so smart. It's almost like you've watched sports before. Thankfully my gf doesn't suffer cliche.

Iowa loses a bunch, particularly on defense. However, Iowa has consistently recruited better than Iowa State, so there's that's.
