I thought this was kind of shocking. A recently fired B1G coach on the Iowa sideline feels notable for a ton of different reasons.
His kid is a 2024 recruit at quarterback and they were there on a visit.

Okay what’s the story here? I looked at the Iowa roster to see if this old teammate of my sons has played any and while scrolling through I saw the Twedt kid who flipped from us. I just went into the bio to see if he had played, it only lists his dad, no mom. Did his mom pass away or something like that?

It's not magic nor luck, Ferentz has done this for two decades. His teams are coached to follow their gameplan and wait for their opponent to make a mistake. It happens, a lot (these are in fact college kids). Iowa's players are put in this position repeatedly and don't panic. It's coaching and discipline. Campbell's teams fall into this trap every single time they play Iowa.
Ohhhhh ok that makes a lot more sense. I mean, I wouldn't have put it past Kirk clearly, but that seemed so obviously tone deaf that I figured I misread the context.His kid is a 2024 recruit at quarterback and they were there on a visit.
Then it is a case of beating themselves. They never actually "lose" to a teamTheir luck seems to run out when they play actual good teams though.
I wonder if he will leave after this year and move on to the NFL. He is currently a junior, nothing really to prove and why take another year of pounding when he could get paid for it.
Because it's not luck? Their offense is ball control and limiting risk to complement the other two phases. If they get put in a hole the offense isn't coming to save the day.Their luck seems to run out when they play actual good teams though.
Yeah, but some of the mistake are were really really dumb. When the DL takes four steps and dives at Chunky QB's legs...four steps after the ball was released, that's just really dumb. MSU had a lot of that.That's exactly how Iowa is built. They don't make mistakes and then when you inevitably do, they beat you with it.
It's not a coincidence that it seems to happen all the time.
Don't think there is much of a chance he comes back next year. He will and should go to the pros. Probably a first round pick if not top half of the first round.From what I heard he is gone.
Agree but the point is Iowa really isn’t any better than the great majority of the teams on their schedule, yet win an inordinate number of games.I mean I get it but having the privilege. of playing complete garbage offenses kind of overstates how well their plan really works. The last big win Iowa has had was Penn State back in 2021 and they lose that game if Clifford doesn't get hurt.
They call that "blocking"LMAO the blown punt return where there was nobody within 25 yards of Cooper. As soon as he caught I said "that's six, he's gone".

And apparently you can block outside the pads now.Mixed with very poor coverage. That was such a slow punt return lmao
And apparently you can block outside the pads now.
Bill come on now screenshots of blocks is what we're doing now? You're so much better than this. You know you can blow up about 70 plays a game and find this. It was a 50 yard punt. The ones that kick 50 and high everytime play on Sunday. Ya it was a little low but the blocking was top notch then Coop splits the two defenders at the midfield then picks up another excellent seal block at the 25. It was just a great play. I'm surprised you can't just tip your capLOL there were like three miss holds on that return too. 17 and 4 were holding the entire way down the field. Couple that with a line drive punt and yeah it's probably going to be six.

Had you even fielded it you would of gotten 5 and a concussionI could at least get a 15 yard return on that and I’m in my 30s lol
