Iowa's TE1 is out for the season and nobody has picked up the slack. 20 combined receptions on the season and 0 TDs.

I've read a lot of dumb shit on message boards and that one is at the top of the list.

It would be interesting to watch Nebraska's OL battle their own DL. The resistible force vs the movable object.

Nebraska Cornhuskers Auburn Tigers LSU Tigers BYU Cougars

Since they got a new OC Iowa has scored 30+ points in 6/12 B1G games. 3 of those 6 have been 40 or more. They averaged 26.6 points per game in the conference last season with 2nd/3rd/4th string QBs getting most of the snaps. That was 7th in the B1G. They currently sit at 30 points a game in...

I could see Fox pushing for Indiana vs UCLA as well. I don't think they've been to IU yet and they have proven to be one of the best teams in the nation and a very compelling story. Their fan base would also probably really show up for it.

1. Jim Leonard is no longer there running that attacking 3-4 defense 2. They don't get to play in the B1G West anymore 3. Their QB1 has been hurt 3 straight years (Fickell actually has a winning record when their QB1 starts) 4. They're not talented enough to be a finesse team. And not physical...

Purdue is dead last in the nation in opponent yards per pass attempt. Minnesota is 104th in the same metric. (Note- those numbers do not count games vs opponents that are not FBS) I see the o/u is 52.5. That might be the bet to make. This could be a shootout.

Exactly right. They gave a starting LB from Iowa $100,000 just to visit and he was coming off a significant injury. He went there, got hurt again, and rode the bench. They got the money to throw at players.

So you're going with a coaching staff that has produced 6 Tatum-Woodson DBs of Year award winners (out of 14 total) is not up to the task of coaching him well enough? Not sure I agree with that logic. Regardless, it will be huge opportunity for Nestor tomorrow against a legit NFL prospect and...

Since Fleck started coaching at Minnesota, each program has had 7 DBs drafted. I think at one time Iowa had an advantage there but that time is long gone. My reason for concern with Minnesota's current DBs is John Nester is a starter for Minnesota. In Iowa's final game last year he was their...

I picked Minnesota to win but I think Nestor is going to have a very long day against Rutgers.

Minnesota Golden Gophers Arizona State Sun Devils Iowa Hawkeyes Penn State Nittany

I felt that Minnesota had a better back 7 than Iowa but if Nestor is getting playing time that is probably not a good sign. He was buried behind DBs that are backups for Iowa right now. Their starters got torched by Rutgers WRs.

If this was 10 years ago I would think that Fickell deserves a little more grace but it today's portal world it isn't nearly as hard to build a team quickly. Look no further than Indiana. You pretty much nailed it with the bolded comment. 2023 7-6 (5-4) 2024 5-7 (3-6) This season could end...

2006-2007 was pretty bad but they covered pretty well for a good stretch from 2008-mid 2010. The really bad stretch was mid2010 - 2014. I believe he was 20-22 over those 4 & 1/2 seasons. I thought Iowa was close to pulling the trigger after 2014. They were just a trainwreck that season and had...

Iowa brought Gronowski in for his leadership & toughness. Usually when Iowa is behind in the 4th quarter, especially on the road, it's game over. Gronowski lead them to 2 TDs and the win with his arm and legs.

That ref crew allowed a lot of holding all over the field tonight. Really bad crew. And the lead official is a local
