Smith-Marsette can stay suspended. We looked much better out there, just need Petras to pull his head out of his ass. No touch or accuracy.
I'm starting to wonder if people maybe got a little carried away about no discipline, coaches not allowed to do anything, less physicality, etc. because of two close losses.Teams pretty damn good. Unfortunately it appears QB might be an issue.
Yes Chad, they had CNN on in the locker rooms in the half hour before a Big Ten game. My God.Leistikow. 46:36 if the timestamp doesn't work for you.
Maybe. Lots of games left and they still have to play @Purdue next week, Wisconsin the following week and @Minnesota on 12/5.Although Iowa looked pretty damned good today, I'm not sold on Petras - not at all.
I can't believe that fucking Northwestern is going to win the West this year.
that incomplete screen pass right before the TD to Smith was ridiculous. That screen was set up real nice, Clark.I had really hoped Petras would start to show some signs to match the hype at this point. I'm not ready to write him off yet, but he really does need to find some touch and poise out there soon.
Otherwise, a good day today all around. Michigan State looked terrible, but the Hawks look like they're improving too. Special teams are also looking good. It's going to be a disappointing season overall because of those first two losses, but maybe they can pull a rabbit out of the hat and go 4-1 the rest of the way.
Is he calm? Does he need a diaper?Is Hogan mobile?
Your post-victory posts are my favorite posts of all the posts that get posted.Charlie Jones' 105 punt return yards today were the most by a Hawkeye since KMM's 184 yards/2 TD performance against Western Michigan in 2013.
OTOH, Padilla looks larger than Tate and Banks.Even if Petras improves on accuracy, his extreme lack of mobility is going to be a problem. He makes fat Nate look like Brad Banks.
Padilla appears to be barley larger than my 85 lb 4th grader.
Can Hogan play for five years?
Stayed in team hotel?If Padilla can complete more than 50% of the screen throws, he's an upgrade. What is Spencer bringing to the table that the other quarterbacks can't?
Never heard of this KMM fella. Sounds made upCharlie Jones' 105 punt return yards today were the most by a Hawkeye since KMM's 184 yards/2 TD performance against Western Michigan in 2013.
Nailed it.Iowa 17
MSU 27
Really narrow shoulders and slight build. Banks “looked” much larger.OTOH, Padilla looks larger than Tate and Banks.
And slower than me.And I love quarterbacks with big arms. They just can't be retarded pants shitters.
Fred Russell and zone blocking was a thing of beauty.Still many games to go, but Iowa's 4.98 yards per carry would be its highest since 2002 (5.03).
And an entire oline that ended up in the NFL.Fred Russell and zone blocking was a thing of beauty.
“improbable”Every time the fans lose hope in Iowa, Ferentz pulls an improbable victory out of his ass. This is one of those times.
Iowa 27 MSU 21
And an entire oline that ended up in the NFL.
And slower than me.
I’m 40 (man) and would destroy Petras in any athletic metric other than arm strength.
Well he did get JC Penney to come to town so...
We should know Friday night.This defense could end up being very good.
Hankins and Moss both got beat badly once.Was it Hankins that sucked yesterday? I have a feeling Moss will be picked on next week.
People complain about the secondary from time to time but despite how much praise Ferentz gets for putting OL in the NFL I think it’s actually probably actual Phil’s work with the secondary that deserves the most praise.Iowa corners looked very good tackling yesterday. which historically has been the case for the most part.
