All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

Yeah, Stanley played against 5 of the top 40 total Ds and 3 of the top 25 passing Ds.

In terms of passing Ds, Purdy played against #128, #117, #110, #106, #92, #91, #83, and #56 (WSU, bowl game). That doesn't include Drake which would obviously would be way below #129.

In terms of total D Purdy played against #112, #108, #85, #81, #74, #71, #67, and #42 (WSU, bowl game). That doesn't include Drake.
Are you using S+P? Just wondering.
 
I know literally nothing about Marshall’s football team, but if they are ranked ahead of Iowa then yes, they must have had a damn good defense and probably did have a better overall defense than Iowa.
Interesting. And then using that, Miss St didnt have the best defense in the country.
I feel like some Iowa posters have said they did.

Yeah, because some people use total defense. I don’t think that’s a very good stat though because of the vast differences between teams and conferences in strength of schedule, pace/tempo, etc.
 
Total defense? Lmao! I’m using S&P+, which is an opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency rating. Total defense...LOL.

We’ve been over this before- Stanley faced seven Top 40 defenses this season (including two Top 10 defenses). For comparison’s sake, Purdy faced zero.

So we are just supposed to guess what you use for a rating? Say it in the first place then dumb*ss!! You (yeahbuddy) go so far off the beaten path to come up with stats to always skew it your way. Like I said earlier go share your lack of intellect with your brethren on HN and stay off CF. Even Gonzo said your numbers are off. That coming from a Hawkeye poster on here. I guess Stanley's lack of mobility also helped with "opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency rating". Stanley would never make it in the NFL. He has the speed of a sloth. Don't think he would fit into the offensive scheme of an NFL offense.

Benji would never admit he made a mistake, or would lie on here.

Typical type of Benji post. Splitting hairs again. Nobody cares what you think!

Stanley also faced a lot more blown coverages than Purdy did according to Benji

They were high on him. I got mocked in November when I broke the news that he wasn't with the team. Their DL could be rough next year

Huge loss for Iowa I feel. Starters will be solid, but won't have much depth. DL is the one single position group that actually gets rotated out during games. Will be a key to their season next year to see if they can develop some depth between now and the season starting. DL depth was the downfall of the 2010 team.

How many scholarship DL do you guys even have now? I feel like you guys just lost a ton and didn't really replace any of them

You guys will be fine. I doubt the DL will be as good as this year, but when was the last time you had a subpar DL outside of 2010?
