All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

Sounds like the best QB in the state of Iowa, Nate Stanley, is getting some hype from Mel Kiper. No mention of Noodle-Arm Kempt, unsurprisingly.

Mel Kiper isn't doing the NFL anymore? Never thought he'd get in the college game but I don't think I like it

If I'm a scout I definitely like his body size. Look, he played great against ISU and was good almost all of the year.
If I was watching his tape, I'd want to see him doing more with the WRs and creating plays and getting a better completion %. I think the amount of TDs Fant had last year, and could have again this year, can really help his stats. But if he can make what I consider a bad WR corps look decent, that will show he can get drafted as a mid rounder.

The low completion percentage is due in large part to the number of drops Iowa’s receivers had. Nearly 10% of catchable passes were dropped- 124th in the FBS.
 
Agree. It helps a lot when you have a pair of stud receivers and play in a league that doesn’t play defense.
The Big 12 has the fourth-best average defense among FBS conferences and is less than 1.3 points per game worse than the vaunted SEC. So while not great, the Big 12's defenses aren't really all that terrible.

Look at the Big Ten. Not only is that conference the worst of the Power 5 in offense (and worse in offense than the Pac-12 is on defense), but it also actually ranks below the American Athletic Conference. Yet, there doesn't seem to be nearly the same narrative about the Big Ten lacking offensive firepower compared to what the Big 12 has to put up with on defense.

So ease off the defenses of the Big 12. And if you are in the mood to poke holes in conference strength, maybe cast an eye toward the Pac-12's defenses or the Big Ten's offenses.

So does that mean the Big Ten is just a league full of teams that don't play offense?
Why no response @benjimill ? I know you've read these.

Yes, I was. Easy to make a quick response to the trolls while I’m waiting for documents to load or taking a deuce. I don’t have time during the workday to read an entire article, find the link (because one was not provided), and do my own research to determine its legitimacy. If you do, that’s great.

You must **** a lot. How do you stay so full of it all the time?

Talking to yourself again?

Yeah it’s really tough to use Google.
