Iowa could make the playoff. The Big 10 sucks. They could beat OSU this year.
We shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Your offense had 23 yds in the second half. Don't act like we didn't hand that game to you.
1.7 yds a carry.LOL, ISU had 204 total yards and 4 TO before CMC pulled Purdy and Iowa went to a prevent defense. If you wanna bask in the glory of 135 yards of offense in the 4th qtr. against a prevent defense when the game was already over, be my guest.
So is the Big 10. They can win 24-17 type games all year.Their offense is garbage.
Yeah I'm not saying the Big 12 is good. Iowa is better than everyone on their schedule from what I've seen. Ohio State is probably top 10 but more like a 3 loss team this year unless they figure something out. Usually they are standing in everyone's way in the league. Iowa has a great opportunity here.LOL, 5 Big10 teams rated this week compared to 2 in the Big12
If the Hawks were in a prevent defense in the 4th quarter, they must have been in a prevent offense in the 2nd half (23 yds + 26 plays = #5, bring on Alabama)LOL, ISU had 204 total yards and 4 TO before CMC pulled Purdy and Iowa went to a prevent defense.

Without developing some offense, probably not conf. champs and surely not CFP bound.
*Note that I am neither stating nor implying any claim of superiority by Iowa State, though that won't stop any Hawks from bringing it up
Defense Carries Hawkeyes
Iowa defensive back Riley Moss already has a pair of pick-sixes this season for a Hawkeyes team that has scored three touchdowns on defense but only four on offense. Brian Fremeau looks back at the history of similar teams and finds that Iowa's offense will need to step up if they are going to...www.footballoutsiders.com
Yeah as a 17+ point favorite. All of sudden Hawk fans are fearing Maryland and Michigan State which are the equivalent of Texas Tech.
Had this convo with a hawkeye friend of mine after the game last week. I didn't realize how easy their schedule is for the next month: Kent State, CO State, Maryland, then Penn State. They will very likely be 5-0 heading into that PSU game. Already sitting at No 5, they will be that high or higher if anyone else above them loses.
Other than PSU and Wisky, they will be favored in all their games, at least right now.
That being said, I don't know that too many have noticed just how bad their offense has been these first two games. It's been far overshadowed by their defensive scoring. I wouldn't be shocked to see them win their division and get stomped in the conference championship.
Yep, Friday night on the road. Maryland isn’t terrible. Iowa can easily lose to that one. They will also lose at Northwestern like always. Also, Iowa almost always loses in Madison.Maryland won’t be a pushover. Ask again after that game
I thought Indiana had some amazing 5 star RB with a great offense that you talked up?PSU/Wisconsin will have better athletes overall than what Iowa has faced so far.
I haven't looked at anything. What is indiana ranked? Guessing about 18th? Maybe 20th?I thought Indiana had some amazing 5 star RB with a great offense that you talked up?
They fell out. Receiving some votes currently.I haven't looked at anything. What is indiana ranked? Guessing about 18th? Maybe 20th?
Ignore him. He's not even good at trolling. There are a few Hawk fans on here that are great at trolling. This guy is so bad at it, you just have to snicker a bit when you read his posts.We shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Your offense had 23 yds in the second half.
