    Hanks Injury confirmation/ update

    I hope Heck gets a full game too. Seems like Hank was put in a better position the first few games. But I think these QBs really are close, and I would bet a full game of Heck does not make the picture clearer. I feel like Heck is better at processing, but Brown generally has better physical...

    Re-watched the game and here are some tidbits

    There was a crazy stat 2 years ago where Kaleb Johnson was averaging something like 8 YPC against stacked boxes. That was midway through the season, not sure where it ended. There was a high degree of boom or bust in that. We lack a home run hitter. Watching Kenneth Walker run behind a good...

    Re-watched the game and here are some tidbits

    I’d like for someone smarter than me to assess how much of the running game struggles was on the offensive line vs. running backs. Iowa State only had 1 TFL. The offensive line was not allowing penetration behind the LOS, but the running game hit a wall after 2 yards. Were there cutback lanes...

    remaining question marks

    NIU ran for 7 total yards (33 if you remove sacks). Their longest run of the game was 6 yards. I also have concerns about the DT position, but the NIU game certainly did not make me feel worse about that group. Regardless of opponent, the overall defensive performance against NIU was dominant...

    QB Battle: Jeremy Hecklinski appears to have passed Hank Brown on the Depth Chart. QB was NOT a Transfer Portal Priority per KF on Dec 18

    I would like to see both continue to see time. My concern with Brown is how he performs against better competition. At Auburn, he looked great in his first couple games (6 TDs, 0 INTs, 11.8 yards per attempt). Then they played a mediocre Arkansas team, he threw 3 interceptions in the first...

    SIAP, Massey Ratings Iowa FB win probability

    Those win probabilities add up to 8.21 expected wins. So more likely to have 8 wins than 9.

    IOWA will be spending over $10M on the 2026-27 Roster. Who will Ben land? (Portal opens on Tues, April 7)

    Folgueiras - happy to retain him at the right price. Obviously talented, but I don't think he is a great fit for McCollum's system. Also have a good amount of players that can play a similar role - e.g., Koch, Thompson, Harris. Matteoni - I do not see him being a contributor. I've seen him...

    Any rumors or whispers of Iowa players transferring?

    Based on various podcasts, sounds like Folgueiras and Banks are the unknowns. Banks wants to come back, but odds are that he is not granted another year of eligibility. Seems Folgueiras is roughly 50/50.

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    Criticizing the strategy to intentionally foul when Florida did not actually intentionally foul is like criticizing the strategy to bunt when the batter did not see (or ignored) the sign to bunt. Two things can be true: (1) the strategy (e.g., to foul / to bunt) is not optimal, and (2) these...

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    Genuinely curious - when a team is up by 3 with 9 seconds left, what do you think about intentionally fouling? Your logic in this thread is that such strategy makes it more likely that the opponent makes a 3-pointer because it happened to Florida on March 22, 2026. However, I think most people...

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    Sure. You are right. The strategy to intentionally foul is proven wrong by this one instance in which Florida did not commit a foul.

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    What do you think of fouling when up 3? The whole point there is to not let the opponent shoot a 3. All I am saying here (which I do not think is controversial), is that a strategy to intentionally foul makes it less likely for your opponent to get an open 3-point shot. Thus, it is odd to...

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    It should not be difficult to execute an intentional foul. Kansas intentionally fouled 4 times in the last 20 seconds of their game. That's what makes it even more baffling as to what Florida was actually trying to do - if they wanted to foul, in no circumstance do you let the offensive player...
