It's hard to get motivated after the Superbowl loss.

FIFY

Kaleb Johnson has 64% of Iowa's yards from scrimmage the past two weeks.

I wonder what Breece and Troy Davis were?

Troy accounted for about 56% of our YFS in 1996.

I would have guessed higher than that before looking this up.

Cyclone offense was decent in those days, averaged 29 points per game. Couldn't stop anyone though (gave up 36).

Sort of gloomy rainy overcast here. Would be a good afternoon to watch some college football but all of the matchups suck.

It’s football baby, I don’t care who is playing. Sickos unite on days like today. Not everything needs to be a top 25 matchup to be good football. Just enjoy.

McNamara had a tight end wide open down the seam in front of him. Just scared to throw it. Rightfully so.

Breece was about 32% in 2021. Davis was about 55% in 96.

Yeah, Kaleb Johnson % of yards seems ridiculously high but it's not something I regularly look up.

Last week it felt like a win if they put the ball in anybody else's hands.

Man these QBs for Troy and Iowa are terrible.

 

[HFCS]

Why did Oregon go for 2? Do they just do that or was it a botched play? Didn't see it.

Man these QBs for Troy and Iowa are terrible.

It's really becoming a chicken/egg thing for Iowa. Even if they signed a 5* at this point I'd assume every other coach must know something that he's evaluated poorly. They are all bad, or they all get bad and why would a truly good prospect ever go there when there's $$$ at other schools too.

To whoever at YouTube TV decides what multiview combos are available, how do I not have the choice for the Civil War, Apple Cup, and Backyard Brawl in the same group. Screw you guys!

Apple cup is on Peacock, not YTTV

Iowa state completely broke the Iowa program. the rot has set in

 

[HFCS]

Punting average is Troy's 38 to Iowa's 52. Eventually that'll win it for Iowa against a Troy.

 

[clonedude]

Is it just me... or does Iowa not quite look like a National Title contender... like the local Iowa media and fans have been telling us all off season??

 

[HFCS]

its that time of the of the game where hoks feel good about themselves with the wave.

I wonder if any ISU fans got attacked this year for not waving for enough minutes. That's always good stuff.

 

[rosshm16]

Going scoreless for 18 minutes and counting against Troy State, rofl.

 

[clonedude]

My assumption is this game will go the exact same way their Illinois St game went..... probably end up with Iowa winning like 38-0 or something?

 

[HFCS]

holy **** Kirk is bringing in a different QB

That's how vast majority of their games vs group of 5 go. Lots of B10W too.

 

[clonedude]

Typical... looks like Iowa will score by way of penalties on opponent... not by their offense.
