Bama can’t run or stop the run. Our O line would knock them off the ball on a regular basis. I don’t think Texas Tech is as good as this team either.
This Iowa team would beat Alabama
- Thread starter 85Bears
- Start date
Definitely expected more from Bama. They look like wet trash.
Iowa would definitely kick their asses. I hope Indiana runs the score up on them. I'm sure Paul Finebaum will come up with many excuses for Alabama and the SEC.
Theoretically and hypothetically Iowa could and can beat everyone this season. We should have beaten this Indiana team, who I think is the best team in the country along with Georgia. This is what's so maddening about us and this season specifically.
Big part of that is Grono shoulder healing and team gelling around Grono leadership. This team at the end of the year does not resemble the team at the beginning of the year. We peaked at the right time. Too bad it’s not a 16-24 team field. We’d be a tough out right now
Many on here expressed their interest in Grubb taking over for KF. Hopefully that is no more. It'd be a complete disaster.
The honest takeaway is that Iowa can play with anyone in college football. Very closely. And there isn't any team in college football that wouldn't sweat seeing Iowa on their schedule.
Hopefully that continues next year. I'm very happy we have Ohio State at home next year.
Why? They haven’t been very good this year. They shouldn’t even be in the playoffs.
i hope Indiana hangs 50 on them.
BIG 10 has too much speed for the SEC.
No we don’t have an espn lobby at the playoff committee moron. We’d certainly beat them now which is what this tread is about D—-head
But we’ll never know dumba$$
we had our chance to play them and blew it
you are playing the stupid what if game
Yeah. The biggest excuse is that they're not very good.
It is what it is. I'm just glad that Iowa has a functional offense again. That shat had gotten really freaking old, regardless of what that dumb azz eyes says.
Didn’t watch today’s game - did Benedict Proctor look slow and stupid again?
38 - 3, does that give you a clue? If he doesn't enter the NFL draft, then you can call him something less than intelligent
They got boat raced by a 5 - 7 fla st mess and after a loss at home to Oklahoma, they got wiped up with by GA. 1- 800 bets off
He should be counted as a back as he is at least 1 yard off the line so the defender won't blow by him.I watch him to see if we lost anything when he decommitted the second time from Iowa. He would have been a good backup.
Agreed. The OL doesn't win the Joe Moore Award with Proctor un the lineup.
Anyone think Proctor changed his mind and went back to Bama because he could see he would not be a starter on this offensive team?
Some of you guys are hilarious.
Iowa could beat this Bama team, but to believe Iowa would just steamroll through them is silly. This is the same Bama team that went into Norman and beat OU a week ago. It’s also the same team that beat Georgia in Athens earlier in the season.
Bama’s biggest problem is they can’t run the football. Thus, Bama’s consistency problem.
Regardless, Iowa almost lost to MSU at home before trouncing a mediocre Nebraska team. After the MSU game, the general consensus was Iowa could barely punch their way out of a wet paper bag, “same ol’ Kirk,” blah blah blah. But now, because the offense played well against Vanderbilt, Iowa is suddenly national championship contenders? Ha.
Iowa had a good team. The Vanderbilt win was the culmination of a lot of hard work and team camaraderie. But let’s be real here. Iowa’s secondary would have gotten lit up by a lot of teams in the CFP and the LBs would have continued to struggle. I like the trajectory of Iowa’s program right now, but let’s not get carried away here. Lol.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that the sec just isn’t very good this year. i dont think our defense gets lit up by a lot of the teams in the playoffs, like who ? Indiana and Oregon are in the final four and they didn’t light up our defense ???????
it’s just the cool thing to say we aren’t very good I guess, loser mentality
Alabama wouldn't have a chance against this Iowa team. The Hawkeyes would drill them much like Indiana did. Alabama is getting to be like Nebraska . . . hype and history over reality. Bama didn't belong in the CFP, and they proved it again yesterday.
Let's be real. Iowa didn't get blown up by anybody. They were tied with #1 Indiana with 2 minutes to play. They led #5 Oregon with 3 seconds to play. How did the best team money can buy (Texas Tech) do against Oregon? How did Alabama, the Nebraska of the SEC, do against Indiana? LOL
Yea I’m sure. They had -3 rushing yards against Georgia and got beat by a garbage 5-7 FSU team. vAndy sucks too. Sec as a whole is garbage
The SEC is down this year compared to years past, agreed.
I didn’t say Iowa wasn’t good. Just that they aren’t as invincible as some want to think.
Alabama is nowhere close to regressing to Nebraska level mediocrity. Lol. C’mon, man. Yes, they aren’t likely to ever be at the level Nick Saban had them at, especially since everyone can buy players now, but to say they are “the Nebraska of the SEC” is silly.
Maybe some day, but not yet.
The Big Ten is unquestionably better than the SEC this year, but to say the SEC as a whole is garbage is a little ridiculous.
