Im just saying from an environment standpoint, he is not used to it. I didnt meant compare as in this one was better, its just different. Again, he has played in big games, and im not insinuating he didnt. Apparently I spoke out of turn or it came across differently than i meant it. My bad folks! I will keep my brain farts to myself next time lol
Unless you count SEMO this is the first time we didn't look scary bad in week one in a long time. So maybe a bit of an unknown on top of that.
We are at Trice and Iowa’s QB is hurt. We win by 2 TDs.
Stop digging. The Game at the Shoe is an unrivaled environment in college football
The only thing that's different is that he's never played a good defense without weapons surrounding him.
In all seriousness, McNamara has played in about every environment possible so this one is not going to phase him. At Ohio State, at Penn State, college football playoff games, etc... I don't know if he's the savior they think he is but from a atmosphere standpoint, dude's been there and done that.
I'm not down playing the atmosphere. But in state, conference, out of state, guys played in just about every kind of rivalry there is.

Playing at OSU and PSU are definitely tougher environments to play in.
The 4 turnover game hurts me the most. They had what, 16 yards of offense in the 2nd half? 26 yards? That hurts
I like this idea, but I also remember previous iowa games when Iowa St went a whole game without throwing it deep.
Don't hate it but its also incredibly deflating if your QB gets picked off on the first play.
What will effect McNamara is if Dom Orange busts through and decapitates him like he did to UNI's QB on the 1st play of the game.
There never has been nor will be a quarterback alive who likes that

Brian Ferentz and their offensive philosophy is more the issue than anything. I think you would be underestimating them if you think he doesn't have any weapons. Kaleb Johnson is very good at RB and the combination of All and Lachey is better than he had at Michigan at TE. Receivers were definitely better at Michigan but though he hasn't done anything yet Kaleb Brown would have been the highest ranked receiver out of high school at Michigan since Donavan Peoples Jones. The rest of their receivers are meh though.
Jack Trice will be the 3rd smallest stadium he has ever played in
We are Cyclones... all of us have good D's.
It all depends on if the Clones can run the ball and not put ourselves into obvious passing downs. Minimizing the chance for Iowa’s defense to tee off on a QB making his second start and limit turnovers. Also going to have to throw vertical which we didn’t a ton of last week
