So much for Wetjen being a WR.
Reece out doesn't give us anything out there.
Did we have a TE with a catch today?

That's rough for Iowa.

Seriously though Doc, Leistikow, and Kakert specifically all talked this team up bigtime this season between the new QB and Lester year two, claiming 10-2 and a chance at the playoff. Well, we are sure not going to go 9-1 the rest of the season given our team and schedule. I think we could be looking at 7-5 or 6-6, possibly worse.

I still think he's a credible reporter and been at it a long time, but I probably need to dial back on the podcasts and articles. I heard basically the same game preview on three different platforms this week

Why do we see videos of passes traveling >30 yards in practice then never see one during the season ?

We’ve seen it with Petras, Cade, and now MG

There is no way this is Lester’s real offense scheme. We seem to be doing the marriage thing again like with GDGD, we get some schematic changes with new person but they must fit with the overall theme

Run up the gut, don’t take any chances.

6-6 is being generous.

5'10" receivers have to get separation.... 6'2" receivers make plays over dbs. We'll see this most of the season I'm afraid!
This.
We continue to play undersize WR's and it's demonstrably not working.
From a QB perspective, who is easier to see and has more 'catchable ball' range - a 5' 10" target or a 6' 4" target?
The key play of the game was made by ISU's 6' 6" receiver who made a fingertip snag of a tipped pass. Our receiver in same situation doesn't come close to making the catch and the ball is intercepted.
Size matters.
