I think the only way that happens is Brian and Petras have to start punishing teams down the field. The blocking isn't bad, it's just that the other team is sending 9 guys into the box almost every play.

Brian also needs to bring back the misdirection. Teams are jumping the play and flowing to the ball. Run that reverse to Tracy that has scored multiple times.
We used the misdirection threat and it held the backers just enough for Goodson’s TD. Not sure why they don’t use it more but watching that coaches clinic video grape posted Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz made it clear he loves the Fuck You plays. Like you know what we’re doing but fuck you we’re still doing it and we’re going to execute it better than you.

You have 9 to block 11. Unfortunately Petras is no threat so the safeties can come flying toward the line of scrimmage.

I watched the final INT by Purdy that broke his tiny little brain. What in the fuck was he doing? That pass even if not tipped had absolutely no chance and the tip might have saved it being a pick 6.

The best thing on that play was Tory Taylor going nuts on the sideline.

Jacobs shucking Allen's block and causing the fumble was a great play. Belton is solid but he cant cover real big TEs. Hope Jacobs gets a lot more snaps moving forward. If you are going with 2 LBs in pass coverage, Id rather have Jacobs and Campbell in. Not a dig on Benson, Jacobs is just better.

I just had a sensible chuckle thinking of ISU’s walk into the stadium yesterday. Everything from the chick spraying the team down with a fire extinguisher after they walk out of one building and into the McDonald’s themed disco in the tunnel, to the most-recently added tradition of hitting the “We Will” sign (which even the cop that escorts Campbell apparently has to jump up and hit). It was great theater.

I was just thinking about that too, and about how iowa took the field at the exact same time. I appreciated that.

Exactly, we are not anywhere near that territory. Stop being Cyfan
Listen, dipsticks: I’m responding specifically to the SI poll which predicates it’s about current resume. I’m not advocating for Iowa to receive number one votes. Calm you collective tits.

I thought Iowa could win, and I thought they could win convincingly, but I never thought there was any shot at all they’d pull Purdy and completely give up.
I agree, but had all of us known Iowa would have been held to 173 offensive yards we would have bet a fuck ton of money on ISU.

Iowa has played two good defenses to start the year, but yesterday they couldn't do anything consistently, they made a couple of key plays when they had to and that's about it. They need the pants shitter to make some plays to TEs and WRs down field or this team will struggle to beat PSU and will definitely lose to Wisconsin if they can't even get to 200 yards in Camp Randle.

Iowa should be about 5-6, with no first place votes. The thing that might make them lower is that nobody is going to vote them higher than 5th.
I’d love to see them there, but I’m pretty sure it’s against the law for any team with Spencer Petras as a QB to be inside the top 5
