Drake definitely has a lot of room to grow. That's good for us! He's just starting at a higher level than AK. Back more to the topic of this thread, it's interesting to me that so many people were worried about him leaving, but not me so much. It seems to me that QB play has gotten so much...

Drake is so much better in the clutch already and is more consistent! AK still seems to get nervous and sometimes falls apart. The only thing AK has over Drake right now is mobility. I agree with most on here that AK's very good receivers also made him look better although I'm sure he also...

Yes, it seemed to me that he was playing more towards the end of the year including in some key spots. He's out of eligibility though so that's too bad. He would have been a good depth piece for another year. It seemed like he moved relatively well which I think we'd take.

You didn't start out by saying they are more talented. Back in post #117, you said "Agree, that (Mississippi State) will be a tough game. They are talented." I think you should have just stuck with that. Both teams likely have similar talent levels which means they will be a tough game. I...

Thanks for the video. Just sad.

Iowa has a really good recruiting class with eight four-stars for 2026 and Kirk is coming back for another season. https://247sports.com/season/2026-football/compositeteamrankings/?Conference=Big%20Ten They will continue to be a very tough out. We are significantly less than 50-50 vs. them...

The best thing would be for the SEC to go 0-5 in the playoff. Everyone in the country wants this now except the southeast. It will get worse for them.

They say they are superior and then complain the B1G team they played was too tough for them. Priceless! The problem isn't that they scheduled a marque non-con match-up. The problem is they weren't good enough to win it!!! This is only the beginning of the end for the SEC. It will get worse...

It's more fun to pretend we kept them from making a bowl game. I'm going with that!

I disagree. GGG & Pair and a Spare podcasts talk all the time about how we're lower end of the B1G in revenue as do many other local and national resources. Even nationally, people talk about PJ doing more with less in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I have never seen any reliable data that we are...

We win at Northwestern with him and Devon Williams. Our young linebackers seemed to be out of position a lot! Of course, they had a lot of players out too. A couple good players being out makes a huge difference!

I think you're being a bit overly negative caliGopher, but you are correct that we had one of the worst secondaries in years and John Nestor came here because he would have been a backup at Iowa. I think he gets on the field there, but not as a starter. We tried to hide our corners against the...

All of you, awesome posts!

We live in a fishbowl like every other fanbase. We always inflate the importance of our guys on the national stage. It's just like the fears that Drake Lindsey will leave. He's not as big a deal as we think he is. Here is a top 50 quarterback list from CBS sports. Drake doesn't even make...

He hasn't shown out very well against better competition this year. It seems more and more likely that he comes back. That would be huge! We need to retain all the talent possible to have a better year next year.

They punted TWICE and had no offensive turnovers, yet both punts were at exactly the wrong time? Or is it just that any time they punt, it's easy to come up with a reason for it being the wrong time? They had a 15-point lead after their slow start. I think any of us will take a 15-point lead...

"Pretty good"? The offense after we went up 28-13 went missed 48-yard field goal, punt, touchdown, missed 40 yard field goal. So kicking sucked once again. That's special teams. The 40-yard field goal was mostly the result of us not having enough time at the end of the game because the...

Our recruiting has been better and I like that, but isn't that true for most of the B1G? Iowa has eight 4-stars in their 2026 class at the moment. I think, don't know, all the money the B1G has is raising all boats. It seems like the rest of the P4 has come down a little bit in comparison...

My recollection is they usually only have one or two. https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/season/2026-football/commits/?rankings=composite Aaden Aytch was an unknown that we got to early, but is getting a lot of attention now with a composite of 0.9228. Can we hang on to this guy from...

NIL priorities: 1) One starting cornerback: Our safeties will look a lot better with competent corner play & we get them both back next year. Go hard for one B1G caliber starting corner and everyone else can get knocked down a peg next year. We've had some bad injury luck at corner and were...
