if PFF is claiming that Iowa has far and away the best OL, but Iowa ranks #66 in yards per rush, #111 in QB sack percentage, and #89 in overall YPP....I'm going to assume that PFF's grading system is flawed.

Maybe, but nobody respects our passing game so I think they focus on the run. Our running backs are decent but none seem outstanding. Our QB, at least prior to Rutgers was near the bottom of the NCAA for the time he takes before throwing.

The PFF grades would point to an elite, even historically good, OL. Everyone in the running for AA status! Off the charts as a unit!

The skill positions leave a lot to be desired, but they aren't that bad.

Sure, if you include RB but our WRs are still largely a raw, unpolished group or undersized transfers. They’re an improvement over our previous 3 years but still bottom of the Big 10

[Shawneemicks]

I hate him

 

[douglasbader]

I hate him

Which is weird, because you both have a lot in common.

Like banging your wife?

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

That sounds like an answer Kamala Harris would've given.

 

[brantshawks]

Politics in the football thread. That's a month timeout as discussed in the mod secret board, right @ISUFan98?

 

[cloudhawk]

Plus an additional month for excessive awfulness

 

[neshawk]

Kamala who?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Kamala who?

Harris.

 

[Stomper15]

Kamala who?

@Kamala

 

[brantshawks]

Kamala who?

[cloudhawk]

The Ugandan giant

@Kamala

Nope

That Coleman guy looked pretty good at Kinnick last year.

 

[SteadyEddy]

One of these is not like the other

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

a QB?

 

[SteadyEddy]

Correct.

 

[chafedHawk]

Yeah one of them is wearing a suit

 

[6deuce]

PFF states they have less than 60 people who are trained to grade plays. And each grade is reviewed at least once before being entered into their system.

Translation: They are full of shit.

 

[Wanderer]

I refuse to believe that.

signed- The Joe Moore Award winning 8-5 Iowa Hawkeyes.

 

[Silky Johnson]

I refuse to believe that.

Totally agreed, but overall I’m pleasantly surprised with the line play given that they lost a few of their more reliable guys from last year. But to see PFF BS that would seemingly put this against an 02, or 08/09 type line is laughable.

 

[cloudhawk]

Its a current ranking based on playing 3 teams that have very poor defenses- clam down

Hope it continues though!

 

[KitKatApples]

PROVE ME MOTHER FUCKING WRONG HAWKS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

What's she wrong about?

 

[KitKatApples]

That I’m not a leprechaun

 

[rodg12]

That I’m not a leprechaun

So you are a leprechaun? Should be easy enough to prove...

 

[KitKatApples]

 

[Shawneemicks]

The OL is above average run blocking, average to below pass protection

 

[Gushawk]

Lauck has been a pleasant surprise. Bright future for that lad. Pieper too, though I expected him to be an ass kicker.

 

[kenos]

Burn it down, Beth.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

The roster is actually in a much better place than 1997. It jus seems unlikely to get a difference maker at WR under this staff.
