I may have missed it, but I haven't seen much about his TD pass and catch. I don't remember having a receiver fight off the defender and use his body to impede the defender from getting to the ball. That was the best play by a receiver that I can remember forever! Don't know if that is being taught or just something Zee did on his own.
Vanderzee
- Thread starter twindman
- Start date
One of Mark's best throws of the season.
Too bad Vanderzee missed multiple early games with an injury. I remember a couple Fall camp tidbits saying Gronowski and Vanderzee had developed trust and a good chemistry. Would have been nice to have that battery against ISU.
I haven't been following closely so forgive me, but what was the nature of Reece's injury? Asking because Danielson said Reece noticed the injury in the cafeteria?!! Makes me think of something like stress fracture which is scary in terms of reoccurence. Man do we need a healthy RV!
Injury was a freak deal...probably hurt in practice but didn't notice for a few days until he was grabbing food in cafeteria...true story. Good to have him back, super athletic...had some HUGE dunks in HS like Hock did. He bring something to table no other WR does, he needs a big game vs. Oregon.
We haven’t had a 50/50 ball winner since the ISM/Smith WR group.
Howard has shown the capability, hopefully Terrance Smith has that knack too.

RVZ made some of those go up and grab the ball catches last year. He goes after the ball. I dont know about his overall speed but if he runs very good routes, gets open, and can catch most of the balls then he needs targets
Great catch for sure.
Marvin McNutt used to outphysical defenders like that.

He got pushed around a bit last season as a true frosh playing WR for the first time. Looks like he has bulked up a bit.
Best catch by an Iowa wide receiver in a long time. Great athleticism
