Official Iowa vs Purdue Thread

[heitclone]

I'd love to have Dekkers. The tackles are so bad too though it really complicates Petras statuesqueness. I would love to have the transfer from Oklahoma to Smu blanking on name

I don't think Petras is great but he's not going to have success playing with an OL like that. It's on that unit and play calling to set him up to succeed, that just isn't happening right now. He's getting too much of the blame. When Purdue knew they were passing, they just pinned their ears back and came after him, he never had a chance.

AP follows the coaches with TOE at 11th.
They give Air Force more votes than Iowa State, however.

Im not crying for the Hawks but it's totally stupid that teams like them and Oregon are rated behind teams they've beaten. Ohio St in particular hasn't beaten anyone with a pulse, that one is a head scratcher. Michigan and Michigan St that high are a joke as well, they've played 1 top 25 team between the two of them (2-4 Miami).

When did Kirk lose his ability to identify and develop OL?

Rattler would not go to Iowa

Not Rattler I was referring to Tanner Mordecai.

I'm not sure he's lost it Because of a bad 1/2 year.

I don't see how they can have the best oline in the country per the media and also be the reason Petras looks like a jv caliber QB.

A good friend of mine (iowa season ticket holder) who is a huge Iowa fine has a lengthy post on his facebook about how the decision to sell beer at Kinnick now is biting them in the ass since numerous iowa fans (including some directly around him) were throwing beer bottles on the field.

To most all of the Athletic Events I have gone to where they SOLD BEER ....The Vendor Poured the BEER INTO A PLASTIC CONTAINER ....NO Beer Bottles or Beer Cans...I Guess that the Univ of Iowa ...DID NOT GET THE MEMO.

Exactly correct. They got a lot of pressure rushing 3 too

Padilla hasn't impressed me in limited snaps but sometimes that's way it looks when you come in with 2nd team and limited playbook.

I was told both him and Hogan were bad from my main source FWIW

Nothing either way but I haven't asked for a while. If he's worse than Petras though that's not a good thing

 

[jamiefball]

Steele Jantz and Jeff Brohm both suck/sucked at what they're supposed to do and both own Kirk Ferentz lok

Brohm will eventually be fired with a winning record over Kirk.

Yesterday was a total coaching abortion. Unless you’re Brohm, in which case it was a clinic.

Yeah I'm not sure why you guys support Brian and Kirk the way you do honestly

 

[jamiefball]

Brohm on Iowa continuing to leave Bell in one-on-one coverage, with no adjustments: “Yeah I don’t know what their gameplan was there.”

Lulz.

He could be Joe Montana and I don't think Ferentz would start him as a True Freshman

Reactionary terminations are how you end up like Nebraska.

Iowa is a top 25 program, and that’s no easy task.

Yikes

Yeah a real meat grinder of a conference schedule.

There's a large sample size that Brian Ferentz is awful at his job

They could have put an end to all the racism talk, rhabdo, rape cover ups, etc, etc, etc..... but chose to stick with KF and Junior.

Oh we’re back on this. Sigh.

Later guys. Congrats on a solid road win against a solid opponent.
