All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition
- Thread starter YeahBuddy

No, he said that Purdy has a tremendous impact on their football team. As would any starting quarterback.
It was correct the first time so I didn't change anything
Here is the quote:
Q. In the stadium, the RPO offense, you've got a pretty small sample size, having only played one game, and most of these guys aren't the same guys as last year. Does it make it hard to prepare on your end just for what may or may not be their game plan?
KIRK FERENTZ: Like I said, we didn't get to perform or compete against the quarterback last year, but we've seen him on film. I think we have a good idea and total respect for who he is. He's a really good football player. Just the fumble recovery he made at the end of the UNI game, to me, that's a snapshot right there. Just a clutch player doing something really well to help his team win.
So I think we have a good feel for that. They've got good guys up front. They've got a veteran group of receivers, a deep group, and same thing with the tight ends. They're working through the running back situation. That's a little bit different. We have a good feel for who they are, and they probably have a pretty good feel for who we are.
I don't know how much guesswork is going to be going on. There's always wrinkles in every early season game, but for the most part, it's going to come down to the team who plays the best, soundest, and plays the hardest probably.
The only time the word "tremendous" was said yesterday by KF were the following and two other times taking about the Rutgers punter:
"We've got tremendous respect for Coach Campbell, his staff. They've done a wonderful job over there. They've got players that clearly enjoy playing the game and enjoy playing for the staff. When you look at the tape, you can see a couple of things. They've got good players, first of all, they are very well coached. They compete hard. The other part about it, they're going to be a rested football team. We know that going into it."
"And the thing that's new for us is the quarterback. We didn't have the opportunity to face him last year. He certainly has given them a great boost and just has had a tremendous impact on the football team, great leader. You can see that just from watching the tape. They're an excellent football team."
Dude, you seriously cannot be using per game stats when one of the players only has played in one game.
He misquoted him, go read the transcript and Ctrl F the word tremendous.
Or you could read the edit to my post.
Really good is still pretty high praise coming from KF.
I have never heard of Quinn Douglas. I mean I am sure he is no Randy but mistakes happen.
Like I said, its still a compliment to be considered "really good" in the eyes of KF.
No way any of them are wrong more than you are.
I'm rarely wrong. I did think Iowa's DL would be better than they are this year but too early to say I'm wrong on that
How'd your picks of Rutgers ATS and Bowling Green (one of, if not, the worst team in FBS) ATS go last week?
They both lost. Doubling up on the Hawkeyes Super Bowl to get my money back Saturday
