All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

I don't see super high scores in either game with possibility for some rain.
I think about 27-10 for both IA and ISU.
Weather is now calling for basically no rain at all besides maybe a shower at like 4 am. Should be dry for the game.

Tough position to come in and play as a redshirt freshman. Especially vs. Big Ten defenses.


Sounds like a good story. Good for him! You guys need a few more of those on your offensive line where you ranked last in the conference in yards per carry and 7th in sacks given up last year.

Crazy to think just how great Purdy was with that OL
 
I read through the staff picks for UNI and read more than 1 of them refer to the ISU defense as elite.

Is that really the feeling around here?
We're picked to have the best defense in the Big 12 this upcoming year and have had our front 7 be listed as one of the best in all of college football. We'll see how it all plays out but just like the team as a whole, there are a lot of high expectations.
 
First in the conference in sacks allowed. They've got some work to do on the rushing attack.
Iowa does a great job protecting Nate that is for sure. Personally, I don't think it's the offensive line's fault for the weak running game, more on the running backs production so far. Should be better this year.
 
How big of a part do you the OL played in Purdy's regression last year?
I know you're trolling, but the offensive line did make it tougher on Purdy. In the Texas game, they were letting everyone run freely to get to him, the Drake game was an outlier but they still played terrible and couldn't move anyone (could be for a lot of reasons), and then the WSU game they were incredibly undisciplined.

Kind of shoots the theory that the OL was playing better at the end of last season in the foot.

Two of the eight used the word elite. Do you really think that's the feeling around here?
 
Which is what I said...more than 1.

Just asking if that was the feelings among the fans around here. Feel free to add to the discussion anytime instead of obsessing over your "dumb" button.

Yeah, you were bringing it up for "discussion".

Have to think that Downing will be starting by mid-year, right?
 
I think Purdy was good vs Kansas State and wash State. Texas was on the OL and Drake was an outlier IMO
So you do think the OL was the reason he regressed? Why do you think the other QB's under Campbell have regressed?

I don't think Stanley was bad last year to answer your question.
