Cignetti seems like the kind of fucker Kirk hates.

Really hope we find out it’s more than Frost and Fleck.

Feels like a game where we will keep it close or even be up a little bit into the 4th, the defense will struggle with a couple drives giving up late points and we get the ball back with a chance to drive to tie with a field goal or win with a TD and the offense shits on themselves. Tell me if you've seen that movie before.

I saw that movie a few times like 2008 Penn State, 2016 Michigan, 2021 Penn State and it was awesome.

Old Dominion played them close. But then I see OD beat the fuck out of VTech

ODU had two long touchdown runs from their QB. The second one was when the game was well out of hand. The first on the first play of the game. It doesn’t really look like it was close.

What an ass kicking Hayden put on IU & Sam Wyche in 1983. I still remember being in our seats after the game when he brought the whole team out to midfield and went absolutely red ass on them…continually pointing at the the south endzone scoreboard…lol…good mems
Wasn't that the year that before the game either Wyche or maybe Corso in retirement implied that there was no way Iowa could have gotten so good so fast without a little cheating? Fry was really pissed off.

Kirk is going to slap his 70+ year old hog across the face of the Indiana Hoosiers and several Halo posters spouses starting at 2:30 PM Saturday. I will pay someone $20 for delivering 50 rainbows to selected posters.
I appreciate your expert analysis.

Hopefully we don’t end up with a walk on from Pocahontas. Although it did result in Drew Tate BTPOY.

Patterson out. I’m high on McNeil but these weekly RB injuries are tiresome.
As much as we run the ball, not a surprise. We’re still below average passing, so we lean heavily on the run game. That’ll take its toll on the RBs/OL.

Goddamnit, it just pisses me off the domino effect our futile passing game has on the rest of the team.

Patterson has the most rushes of any
Iowa back. He's averaging 8.5 carries per game.

Throwing on 1st downs with high efficiency is what’s needed

Well I’ve got bad news
I haven’t checked but it seemed like they did more with decent success last week.
And in 2025 however I FEEL is true so..

The 2022 Penn State game was great to be at, but, that was not a good Penn State team. 2016 Michigan was a real surprise win

Every single RB except McNeil and Washington has been hurt this year only 4 games in. That's crazy.

Shilling my buddies pod here again.

I do like listening to these guys even though it's a bit creepy seeing identical twins have the exact same haircut and beard and dress as adults, but their breakdowns this year with video are good to watch.

Their analysis of what Phil Parker changed in the second half that flipped the game for Iowa was great but troubling. Basically, Rutgers attacked our slow LB over and over in the first half and finally Phil said fuck it and any time Sharar was on the weakside they blitzed him and rolled Nwankpa down in coverage because they couldn't have a LB trying to cover anyone because he's incapable.

Rutgers wasn't ready for it and they never adjusted and they ground to a halt. That's great, but the odds of it working against others with better players that have now seen this adjustment on tape isn't good.

TLDR, our LB's are fucking slow and shitty and one of the CB's is a midget who isn't good enough.

Also wasn't comforting to hear them say that against read-option it was the worst LB play at Iowa in 10+ years.

Harrell is worser than Bo Bower.

He's awful and is never getting better than he is right now. If I were them, I'd put a younger and more athletic LB there or just go with a full on nickel or dime and live with it, because the #3 guy on Indiana will fucking murder them if they don't.

Let's just wait a quarter or 2 and adjust from there

Going to be a warm one, 85 degrees and sunny for most of the game.

I couldn’t tell what we were doing in the first half by blitzing from the outside and the secondary giving such a big cushion

After listening to that podcast, it sounds like a blowout is more likely than a narrow Iowa victory. It’s hard to imagine Iowa being able to put up 35 points on these guys.
