I'm starting to wonder if it is more play design or the QB. There were some pretty obvious open guys missed for much more yardage. In some cases they were they next layer beyond the guy he is throwing to so Drake is looking right at them but choosing the two yard check down. Drake has shown he can make most of the throws. The online sucks but there are other ways to try and help the QB beyond tunnel screens and two yard routes. Yes, check downs are better than lost yards or no yards but that cannot be your offensive identity.

I think the tunnel screens etc. were being run to offset the hard crashing DEs, especially on the right side. #73 has zero chance in handling that pass rush from the outside.

Iowa isn't dropping it.

Like I mentioned in my other response, the best I can do now is a tweet by the local ESPN Radio guy in Iowa City who was saying that Iowa's head coach was going to be great for someone else as the writing was on the wall to be "downsized". That was in March this year.

No idea ...


Iowa did drop swimming, after renovating or building their aquatic center no less.

Three Road games with ranked teams
Ohio State ..42-3
Iowa...41-3
Oregon. 42-13

I'm not going to say that Flex not a good coach but there's a point when you hit a plateau and I think the best we have was was 2019 and 11-2. Since then it is been this type of situation. I don't think he can get any better or get this program to the next level he's been here over 8 years and this is not the type of thing that if you're running a really top-notch program did you get absolutely annihilated on the road by ranked teams like this they're not even remotely competitive

I don’t think you are wrong but 11-2 would get you into playoffs and that 2019 team could play with about anybody at the end of the year. I’d take that.
 


We still have a good shot at 8 wins before the bowl game. Not a historic season or the type we were hoping for, but still a good season if it pans out
