Iowa Football Recruiting

[Statefan10]

Same level of success or same type of football?

If ISU wants to get there they need to play defense way better than OSU has. Off to a good start so far so that's encouraging.

Level of success not type of football

That's a pretty big margin of victory vs a top 10 team

You could easily argue the 3rd best team in the Big 12 > best team in the Big Ten West

yes you most certainly can argue it, but that does not mean you are right or I am wrong. It is simply a difference of opinion.

But in 2018, NW was better than ISU. which was the big west champ and the 3rd place big 12 team.

 

[Thinker]

It's harder to make the Big 12 championship game than win the Big 10 West... Northwestern was the 4th best team in the entire Big 10 last year and made the championship game.

But NW was better than the 3rd place big 12 team.

I mean Northwestern ended up having one win better than us and won their bowl game playing the 4th best team in the Pac 12 while we played the best team in the Pac 12 in our bowl game..

You could also easily argue that the 3rd best team would have been the 8th best team in the Big 10.

I agree. They dominated WVU that night.

They did play really well against WVU, but claiming ISU would kill Iowa when they did not at the beginning of the year, and there biggest margin of victory against a team which finished similarly to Iowa was only 16 points...... I do not agree with that.

I hate to do this, but I think he is decent. I think he can get to 8 or 7 wins easily.

What makes you think he's decent? Also winning 7 games stuff a Big Ten West schedule doesn't make you decent

They won, you guys lost, and WSU was not the best team in the PAC 12. otherwise they would have made the Rose Bowl.

Based on what he has done in the past and their youthful team last year doing OK.I think he can win some games this year and surprise.

The Big Ten West will always be terrible

You will be always terrible (whar the park profile pic ?)

Had Washington State not played Washington on the rainiest night of the year, WSU would've been in the title game over them. Wazzu was the better team, they had a better record, they just didn't win that night.

WVU was a better team than Iowa last year.

If I am not mistaken, they only beat 1 ranked team last year in Texas. They were good but not a top 10 team.

I watched Northwestern play Akron and Iowa. Safe to say I was not impressed

Catching up here this morning. Let me say something:
PJ Fleck is a phony, carnival barker. He shouldn't scare Iowa fans at all.

I simply disagree with that. Washington had to play in the same conditions.

Why am I terrible?

 

[Stewo]

Sorry, best regular season win was Iowa State. Mississippi State was definitely a better win.

I wouldn't go that far. A better win? Hell, even that's debatable. They finished 8-5 (with a tougher schedule even though we played 1 more top 25 foe). MSU fell apart the last half of that game.

I think @Thinker is the only one that thinks he's good which is weird since they're supposed to be "rivals"

I want to agree with that, but I feel like he will have a decent team this year.
