All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

[Statefan10]

We have what, 8 OL that have starting experience and a redshirt freshman competing for a spot with the 1s lol

We bring back essentially our ENTIRE roster that just made the Big 12 Title Game and won a Fiesta Bowl.

He said we have a poor bench, yet our backup RB from last year gets drafted in the 3rd round and our backup defensive end from last year led the nation in sacks and is being talked about being a top 10 pick next year.

Again, it’s just ignorance and bias.

ISU will have a damn good team this year, no doubt. I think he’s just trolling.

Surprised to CyTwins bite so hard on that one. He has been slipping lately.

 

[SportsFan1]

I know we’re all speculating as we’re months away from playing the game.. But you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Lol you have no idea the depth at Iowa State on both sides of the ball. Almost every single media outlet has us pegged as top 10 to start the year and play in / even win the Big 12 this year.

Every single thing you said above is based on pure bias.

Anything is possible with that schedule.

 

[Statefan10]

Anything is possible with that schedule.

I’m pretty sure Iowa played 6 out of their 8 games against teams that didn’t finish with a .500 record. But go off lol.

Lol I’d hope so

I still think he was being serious

Yahya Black is going to be a stud.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

Yahya Black is going to be a stud.

What makes you say that? Did he look good in those open practices?

 

[CyTwins]

Yahya Black is going to be a stud.

You said the same thing about Spencer Petras

 

[ClockHawk69]

What makes you say that? Did he look good in those open practices?

He’s received a ton of praise, and he’s a very good athlete. He was initially brought in as a DE, and they’ve added weight to his frame and they slid him inside. He’s going to be a stud.

How did he look at the open practices?

He was hurt iirc.

Oh, he must be pretty incredible to draw such effusive praise while injured.

Got any 4 star linemen on the bench, specifically DL? What about the special teams guys? It is not a knock on ISU, there are only about 10 teams that recruit like that. Its why when I watch the NC game every year I am reminded how unlikely it is to ever get there. Remember when Michigan State got in over Iowa several years ago? MSU had a good team, got absolutely manhandled by Alabama. That is the difference.

Definition of moving the goal posts.

Wasn't that their 2 loss undefeated season?

 

[Mississippi Clone]

Both seem too high. Both teams have decent starters at several positions, but the depth is not there for either. That is the is the difference most of the top teams take advantage of, stacking 4 star kids on the bench. Iowa has a bunch of 2/3 stars on the bench and ISU is worse than that. Like ISU to go 8-4; IA 10-2. Toss up game in Ames, but ISU is definitely due. Should be a good game.

So then are you saying the Hawks start out 0-2 then win 10 in a row? Guess it’s possible since they will be into the heart of the BIG west part of there
Schedule at that point!

 

[ClockHawk69]

Nope, too close to when we play Texas.

I don’t think Texas will be better than Iowa this year. If Iowa beats IU week 1, there’s a very good chance Iowa could be in the Top 10 heading into the ISU matchup.

Texas draws better than Iowa.

 

[ClockHawk69]

Texas draws better than Iowa.

While true, it would be very tough to pass that game up. If ISU is at a ranking around roughly 6-8, and Iowa is in the 9-10 range, that should be a primetime matchup and deserving of gameday. Add on the rivalry factor, and it should be a done deal.
