Oliver Martin is just another of those over-hyped Hok players like Epenesa. Their numbers will improve, however, once they start playing against that garbage dump called the B1G West.
Oliver Martin Derangement Syndrome

It's crazy to me that ISU is better at WR, QB, DL, DB's...and so on...and Iowa still found a way to get the refs to help them win. I think it's time to get the check book out to some of these refs.
It was pretty obvious who was the more talented team Saturday. I know you're not an ISU fan but I think most reasonable Iowa fans would even admit that
Oh I'm in complete agreement. I'd much rather have the team with the stats and the eye test than the W/L. It proves a lot more.
So much happening here. Iowa's WRs are apparently producing, Brian gets mad and Chad probably cried himself to sleep last night
Iowa's got a true freshman getting carries. This is Martin's third year and he can't see the field. Time to call a spade a spade. There's a reason he transferred and a reason nobody wanted him when he did
Let's see how the season plays out
I mean your season is already defined after Saturday
Right now, Oliver Martin is just an okay receiver. That's not saying he's not going to get better, but he hasn't played a ton because he's just not better than the other WR's on Iowa's roster. Against Iowa State, there wasn't one WR that I was incredibly impressed with, but I think that's more of a testament to Iowa State's defense than the receiving core at Iowa.
Milton, Jones and Pettway are all better than any WR Iowa has. It's crazy
I think they're a little better than they were last year but I really think they're just getting targeted more. Last year, Iowa's TE's were the focus and the WR's took second fiddle. The WR group is going to get more opportunities to showcase their abilities this year and so far have done pretty well.
I wouldn't trade any of those WR's you just listed for any of their WR's. I know it's only been 2 games for Iowa State and 3 for Iowa, but remember when their were some fans arguing who was better between Pettway and Martin? There's a lot of season left but so far it's not even an argument.
There's a reason Pettway chose us over Auburn and Oklahoma State and Martin chose Iowa over UNI
