Iowa Football Recruiting

Link a post of me saying that. I am excited about DeJean though, he is gonna be a stud.
I mean Fat Stanley was good I was just talking about returning guys. Who else am I missing?
Both Brandon Smith and ISM made some pretty good plays last year dude. The bigger issue is that the style Iowa plays in and the QB they had didn't allow them to have consistent numbers throughout the year.
Yeah it is scheme related. Iowa is gonna use ball control and defense to win 27-24 rather than using a wide open offensive scheme hoping to win game 42-41.
There have been changes, but Kirk won’t let him scrap what has made him successful for over 20 years.
It’ll be tough for them to put up top 60 numbers, doesn’t mean they will be bad though I suppose.
Exactly. Look at what Iowa did vs USC. They scored TD's the first 5 times they had the ball. After that they just use defense and run the clock to win. Then you look at the box score and USC has more total yards, but Iowa destroyed them in every manner imaginable. That is KF football, and like you said, KF has done that for 20 years, that aint a changing.
LOL all you want, KF has been doing it 20 years, did it vs USC and will continue to do it til he retires. He wins football games doesn't worry about running up stats to do so.
You must not have watched the offensive line, which would make sense being an ISU fan. You don't seem to prioritize line play too much.
Basically Iowa has all this offensive talent but they just choose not to use it

Wirfs was great but he's gone . Linderbaum was too IIRC
Every team is going to run a scheme that the coaches believe is in the best interest of the team. If that means they're going to use ball control then so be it. If that means they're going to have an up tempo offense, great.
I'm guessing Iowa wished they had a better offense against Penn State and Michigan no different than I bet Iowa State had a better defense against Oklahoma and Baylor last year.
The best teams in the nation have adapted to more high tempo spread offenses and look at the success they've had. Clemson, LSU, OU, Ohio State, even Alabama. I'm not saying one way is better than the other but don't act like Iowa's offense is somehow morally better because they don't rack up yards and points every week and play a methodical style.
Yeah no sh** they're playing for Iowa lol. We have no clue what they'd look like if they were on a team that prioritizes getting the ball to their receivers in space and letting them make plays.
Iowa would rather lean on a small, slow RB like Goodson for ball control instead of try to score points with their dangerous offense
Dude, i'm not talking about SOS. I don't give a rats a$$ about it. Hence why I haven't entered the discussion about it. Does it have it's place? Yes. But to Iowa and ISU SOS have been similar the last 4-5 years. I'm talking in general how you and @Brodie0 spew off other garbage that isn't backed by anything. Like your comment about the BIG10 west being super strong (which I honestly can't believe even you believe that. Were they strong last year? Yes. But they are and have been a powderpuff) and that you need to be ranked 15 and up to even finish third. That was an outright lie.
You aren't good at reading. I never said YOU said it. I said many other Iowa posters have.
