Blew out Albany but that week 1 ugly. Didn’t they supposedly empty the banks for this guy? Still a terrible passing game. He’ll be lucky to survive the season the way they run him.
 

Watched him quite a bit last few years at SDSU and i didn't like the signing for Iowa. He's going to get himself killed the way he runs. It's early though and I've been wrong before. He is a gamer and tough as nails so I do like that fire about him. In that regard he's a good fit for Iowa.

reminds me a bit of Streveler. Great athlete, runner but so-so passer. there will be some games he wins for them compared to what they had last year at the position.

Yes, I had the same thought.

I watched the game in anticipation of seeing something new and unexpected from Iowa. That is an indictment of me; I should know by now that Iowa never changes. New offensive coordinator who is supposed to have a new approach? New quarterback? It makes no difference. None.

Iowa is (and always will be, under Ferentz):

— Conservative, common-sense run-first offense with a bunch of powerful road-graders up front;

— A powerful hard-running tailback (or two) who can and will carry the ball a lot;

— A disciplined, smart, opportunistic defense with impeccable fundamentals (they seem to never miss tackles);

— Superb special teams — kicking, punting, returns, kick coverage, kick-blocking... the whole package.

I hate 'em, but I can't help but admire 'em.
 



I think he will play better in week 2 but I don’t know anything
 

Their o-line dominated as they should, but I didn’t think the rbs looked special.
 





That was as bad as I've seen an Iowa QB throwing the ball. Which is saying something.

Their DBs on the other hand are usually very solid but look a lot like they did last year. Not good.
 


I saw very little of Iowa with my own eyeballs this week but I have seen some Iowa fans online panicking about their QB situation after their game on Saturday so that warmed my heart.

I guess that widely distributed completed sideline pass video from camp might not be enough to satisfy them this season.
 




Tough guy, looks like Leidner, doesn’t appear to be comparable to Max Brosmer. I like him from SDSU but now……..
 

I vaguely remember a clip from training camp of Gronowski completing a pass and Iowa being so impressed that they put a clip of it on X... How dare those of you saying he's not an elite passer!
 

Remember that "big dumper" they had a few years back?
I think we could say that the Gophers have had better QB play compared to iOwa and Wisc since PJ came to town. Athan disappointed his one season after being appointed, and PJ was decisive and made a smart change.
