Very true and the targeting penalties of last year really got cleaned up. That was messy last year
Coaching staff also did away with those pesky wins and fixed our bowl game problem.

Thanks, I will just type then. Iowa is getting absolutely dominated right now in it’s bowl game (again), but they have less penalty yards...so who’s actually winning? Those fools at BC probably think they are.
<b>Hmm, pretty hard to to argue against this stat and how the coaching staff should get a tremendous amount of credit for this. </b>If they remain in the top 10-20 in this stat, I give full credit to the coaching staff.
Actually, Iowa wins...[emoji34]Actually the score is tied.

What’s not weird is you know nothing of which you comment on. You either didn’t watch the first half or don’t know anything about football. Which one is it?
Actually, nothing I said was wrong. When I posted at halftime Iowa was losing 17-10 and getting dominated. They were being outgained 281-56 or something like that in total yards, they were being totally dominated at the line of scrimmage. The commentators seemed to agree. Why are you arguing against something that was totally obvious? Just because my comment earlier wasn’t pro PJ? That Iowa came back in the 2nd half is irrelevant to the initial post.

PJ has stated, on many occasions, that possession and no turnovers is the most important stat he is looking at. I'm not sure why we should be thrilled at lower number of penalties in a season where we turned the ball over more often than our opponents.
Sure. Decline in penalties means shorter distance to travel in order to get into scoring position...if the offense actually moves the ball. It also means we don't give the opposing offense extra yards, assuming they aren't already gashing our defense. A lot of assumptions have to be taken in order to make this stat be of any great value.I believe some look at this trend as a positive sign. Obviously the team still has many obstacles, as you and others have pointed out numerous times, but it's one metric that looks like it's heading in the right direction.
Whether or not this metric specifically leads to additional wins is another story. That said, I believe most would rather see a decline in penalities vs. an increase.
