Minnesota 27 MSU 16

And Iowa's best guy on the OL missed most of the game.

He's a better leader than a QB. Not the best footwork a doesn't see open WRs very well. His running ability is huge because a defense has to account for him where most Iowa QBs you don't have to worry about that at all. But as a passer isn't a huge threat. His backup QB is a good athlete too...

I don't think Ferentz hates him. They're just really different personalities. Look no further than how their teams enter the field. Ferentz steps aside and lets his team out front. Fleck runs out in front of the Gophers.

Floyd isn't awol. He's basically been in the same spot for most of the last half century.

Tim Lester is a solid OC. In 14 games as Iowa's OC Iowa has scored 30+ 7 times. 40+ 4 times. Certainly the defenses and special teams have something to do with the scoring mark but even tonight when Iowa was is kill the clock mode for much of the game they still averaged over 5 yards per play

I thought the D played hard the entire time. But like the 2nd half of the Ohio State game the play calling suggested that PJ was just trying to get the game over with.

The battle to be the 16th best team in the B1G is pretty entertaining. Rutgers takes the lead and Purdue follows it up with a long kick return.

Sounds like they need to a coach who can identify talented players.

The reason Cal left Kentucky to go there was their NIL commitment. The money is there. It's just a matter of how much do those guys want a good football program.

How much do you want to bet that he will not beat 11-2 record and finish the season in the top 10? Name the terms

We are in a completely new era of college football. Some teams that were good for decades, like Wisconsin, are struggling due to an inability to adjust to the new way. Others like Miami and Texas Tech who were uneven at best over the last 20 years are now surging behind their NIL. Arkansas with...

You can't underestimate the power of their NIL money. He's maxed out at Minnesota. Does he take a chance going to a program with a higher ceiling?

I think Ferentz is about at the end and/or I think sooner rather than later Fleck will leaving. A lot of job openings that will then create different openings. The middle of the B1G is financially a great place to be but if you want to get your team to playoffs it's just too difficult for...

I predict this will be the final matchup between Ferentz and Fleck.
