    Stop Playing Iowa

    At the present time, State's most critical problem appears to be the woeful OLine. The OLine's profound disability renders skill players basically useless. The closest thing to a quick fix, in my opinion, would be to go after JUCO OLinemen in a big way. THEY should be STATE's top priority going...
