Jay Jordan -- Light me up
I think you will see some wrinkles that have a 2 back feature. Two backs can be great when your offensive line is solid and can handle the extra defenders in the box, but that has not been the case. Instead, you will see two and three tight ends because of the versatility and the fact that... -

I find the colors a bit drab. Why do we try to blend in to our surrounding during the seasons, spring is the only one that makes sense. Bright colors offset against the drab fall and winter background, match the majestic leaves changing and go against convention. I will wear black all the... -

Not size, just need a larger body of work. He doesn’t fit the prototype, so he has to do more to get a shot. Stanley at Iowa fits the prototype and draws buzz even with a below 60% completion percentage and lesser yards per attempt. Purdy completes at 65% with a top 5 yards per attempt, but... -

Another great topic and I have pissed away an afternoon of work. This is my thought on potential NFL talent on the roster. No idea how the NFL will evaluate them, but there are currently 22 players from Toledo competing for roster spots. The league respects Coach Campbell and there will be... -

Maybe I should explain. The safety position was poor in 16 and 17. Then #12 showed up. He has vertical and horizontal range. He is a hitter with LB instincts in run support and coverage skill that focuses attack points at white and Lewis. He reminds me of Marcus Robertson. Marcus was one... -

The West Virginia game is a good re watch. The adversity that faced the 2018 team was pretty remarkable. There has not been a lot of d line news largely because it is a settled group. I would expect some comments from Coach at Friday’s availability. That said, lee and Robertson will be... -

The last ISU qb to crack 2,500 is Sam B. My expectation is around 3,500 which would be a step up. The real yardage key is rushing. The paltry 1600 last year needs to expand to 2,200 or more. That is all about the offensive line progression. -

There is not such a word. It is handcrafted for this forum. There is less opportunity for the true freshman than there has been in the last few years. Obviously Breece Hall qualifies And I think that will happen at some point. The surprise one may be Leonard Glass who is a smallish... -

I would take the under on that TD number. Just depends on how the team scores and if they are more or less explosive. Yes, I think you will two or three on the field very often, but they won’t be in a traditional position as a matter of course. And, yes, I think they will run crossing routes... -

Hahahaha...that is high on the list I guarantee. I think it will largely revolve around a balance between trust in blitz pick up and assignments and dynamic running ability. You lean to the older guys and Croney in particular, but if there is a more dynamic runner who is hitting the trust... -

The question was in the context of coach running it up on someone. So, that is how it is interpreted, but I have no knowledge of how Coach Campbell feels about Baylor. I just thought if he were to run up the score on anyone, it would be them because their crap baited his best player in to... -

Mostly it is that I do not like Baylor and the shenanigans in last year’s game have a tendency to carry over. -

To get to the seam you run to the same, now where he runs tonit from is the mystery. Those guys are problem matchups. The top safeties can cover them at OU and Texas and TCU does a nice job covering with their LB’s. But, there will be opportunities for them to make plays. The Iowa offense is... -

Great question, I would say the Iowa game in 2021. -

Agree about Jamal Johnson. Really impactful player. I have not heard much about Cordarrius Bailey and am frankly surprised by that. The others will be rotational players this year and we will get a look at what that potential is. You are right. The talent may be solid, but it will be... -

Thanks. It is kind of uncomfortable being a fan of this team at this time. There is way too much “legitness” and it feels more like being a fan of some of the other teams I follow closely. It is like when you bought an iron on patch for your t shirt and put it on. It looked cool, but was... -

This sounds like the premise for a good article. I might reference the McDonald twist article I wrote with regard to a fresh and problematic wrinkle. The important thing is the players. Improvement and new talent with different skill sets. A player like McDonald, or potential press coverage... -

Hmmmm... Offense is determined pressure from different sources. See Texas. Also, press coverage, but there aren’t many teams outside of Texas and TCU that will use press. I would attack with pressure and man coverage which forces Purdy to be accurate and quick. Defense can be hit with delay... -

Interesting. There haven’t been many wood laying opportunities. But, given the many humorous usages available for the word “wood” including Jeff Wood-y...as Pedro said, I would like to see more of that. Hard to say with regard to UNI, but it is possible that the second team plays and is almost...
