Pass the pipe buddy...
I take that a compliment from a guy who is affiliated with an offense optional conference.
You mean the fact that Baylor and KState were in the top 30? Which one did you not know was in the Big 12?
ISM had 30 more catches, 600 more yards, 3 more TDs, averaged 10 yards per carry, and averaged more yards per reception than Shaw, and he managed to do all this while playing in Iowa's boring run-first offensive scheme... and you think Shaw's better.
Now that's funny.
Yep, when you are on a team with so many weapons; Pettaway, Jones, Milton, Kolar, Allen, Soehner; it is hard to get a boatload of receptions. S/M was on a team with limited receivers so he didn't have to split reps.
Lol the WRs debate is going to look funny in a couple of months.
Iowa State will have a better group by a fairly wide margin.

Yeah but you're the one who said that Baylor, Texas, and Okie St.'s WRs last year were as good as Minnesota's.
OSU- had the best WR of either team.Yeah but you're the one who said that Baylor, Texas, and Okie St.'s WRs last year were as good as Minnesota's.
Texas- had the best WR of either team and several other good ones.
Baylor- Deeper than Minnesota at WR and the numbers support that.
It’s really not that crazy.
Even if I called Minne’s 2 WR’s the best of any, those other teams had deeper groups.

Okie State had the top overall RB last year, dude was a beast.
He was an animal, almost a thousand yards in half a season. Wish he would have stayed healthy and went pro. Not looking forward to seeing him again.
MINNESOTA WRs
Bateman - 3rd team All-American, 1st team All-B1G, 60 catches, 1,219 yards, 11 TDs
Johnson - 1st team All-B1G, 86 catches, 1,318 yards, 13 TDs
BAYLOR WRs
Mims - 1st team All-Big 12, 66 catches, 1,020 yards, 12 TDs
Thorton - Zero accolades, 45 catches, 782 yards, 5 TDs
But Baylor's WRs were as good, and the numbers prove it. Sure, makes sense.
Duvernay is the only one who may have been the best of all of them, but Bateman was voted an All-American and Duvernay wasn't, so. Either way, neither Texas nor Okie St. (nor Baylor, sorry) had a 1-2 punch at WR even close to the Goophers.

I just hope Brandon Smith is able to stay healthy all year. Dude is an animal and was really starting to turn it on before he got hurt last year. Easily the best receiver at making contested catches Iowa has had since McNutt, though that’s not exactly a high bar.
The WRs under Ferentz have been big doo doo aside from the DJK McNutt years but any ISU fan that say Iowas WRs suck are trolling or just didn't watch them last year. They're not elite but they have some players. For the first time in awhile i'd rather have what Iowa returns than what we do.
