Linderbaum is good now but a strong chance he will be great down the road.
So you have one good OL and two great ones and your OL sucks?

It doesn't suck but it's been overall below Iowa's standards. Which are pretty high.So you have one good OL and two great ones and your OL sucks?

It's the offense as a collective unit. It's not any one person's fault. Iowa's offense just doesn't have the fire power this year. Their defense has kept them in tons of games this year and had they had a great offense this year could've definitely been special.Well your offense sucks so if your OL doesn't suck who's to blame? Stanley? Brian?

interior offensive line problems + pocket QB = issues .Well your offense sucks so if your OL doesn't suck who's to blame? Stanley? Brian?
Fixed it for you.It's the offense as a collective unit. It's not any one person's fault. Iowa's offense just doesn't have the fire power ever. Their defense has kept them in tons of games this year and had they had a great offense this year could've definitely been special.

The days of Joe Philbin and Reese Morgan are gone. They were both incredible O-line coaches.I'd say the interior of Iowa's OL does actually kind of suck. When Linderbaum can't put a choke hold on somebody he's largely been getting caved in. I think he will be good and his struggles are partly a function of G play, but that interior of the OL is not below Iowa standards, it's just not good, period. Injury to Banwart didn't help, but he's never been able to stay healthy, and wasn't great when he was healthy, so not sure claiming that as being a difference is legit. I'll be in the minority of people on here, but I think the interior OL weakness is pretty much the cause of all their offensive problems. People in both fan bases like to bag on Stanley, and he has his issues, but it's asking a lot of a pocket QB to execute with that kind of push up the middle. I have no idea how much you attribute to recruiting, game planning, player development, etc., but the outcome is a big problem for this offense.

Iowa probably scored less PPG during noncon last year than they did during B1G games.Last year Iowa's offense averaged more points per game than ISU and 5 other Big 12 teams.
And you say "we" are delusional.As with most issues there is not just 1 factor or individual at fault. Coaching, youth, and injuries all play a role. If the middle of the line had performed better the Hawks would no doubt be in the top 10 instead of ranked 17th. It's been a missed opportunity at a pretty special season. We'd probably be talking about a potential playoff shot in the conference championship game.

Never anywhere did I say they were. I just said we'd be talking about playoffs if they went into the conference championship game with Ohio St and only had 1 loss. Hell, if Minnesota wins the next two games they can talk about it. Doesn't mean that Ohio St won't crush the notion anyway. The Hawks are #17 in the country and you talk about them like they are a joke. They're a decent football team but I realize not close to the top 4 right now. Every team outside the top 4 has plenty of faults.And you say "we" are delusional.
Iowa is QB, RB, WR, TE, LBs, DTs, (what else am I missing) away from being one of the top 4 teams...

Strange that the team playing better coincides with getting in the heart of Big10 West play:Everyone knows KF's teams get better as the season goes on.
LOL, losing to the ball chuckers, NW, and almost Nebraska validate that.Everyone knows KF's teams get better as the season goes on.
