    Good article on Iowa’s RB room and LJ Phillips

    Improvement also coincided with a certain OC losing his job. I mean Lester introduced motion to the offense haha…. There is no OL that can block 9-10 man fronts and they know the play Lester gave them a chance with motion and counters….small adjustments made a huge difference Now let’s see...

    Next Season

    This isn’t meant as snark, but are we at the same level as Fran? I never understood the let’s give a basketball coach years to turn things around….if the coach can recruit top players it’s a quick turnaround i will say that Iowa is playing a more well rounded style compared to Fran but if Ben...

    Indy ******* ana is national champs

    I still believe Kirk had that fire when he first took over. Bullies of the big10 2002-2004 then something shifted over the next 5-8 years where it became we just do what we do. Assume getting millions of $$$$ and extensions every few years will do that. But was wonderful to watch a team that...

    Indiana next season

    He’s got a system that tailors to his players vs forcing them to take 2-3-4 years to develop the Iowa way It’s a difference (right now) between 8 wins and what Indiana is doing.

    Indiana v Oregon

    I know this is sarcasm and get it… Thing is, Kirk did come close to doing this when he took over. Look at his staff….winners. Could make comparisons to Fry’s staff early on. And Kirk hit the JUCOs a lot back then and got a lot of very good skill players. Iowa and Kirk used to have an attitude...

    Indiana v Oregon

    And he’s built a program that’s basically perfect in every phase. They have one of top OL in country They run the ball Extremely accurate QB who’s all time gamer Big play WR Stout DL LB CB Stop run. Rush passer. Get turnovers. And here at Iowa we’re laughed at cause of our offense but...

    The Starting OL (best since 2002?), the back ups, George Barnett & Recruiting

    From 2021-2023, the OL was absolute garbage with the rest of the offense Once Lester took over and brought new scheme, all of a sudden the OL could move people again. This year the pass blocking was much improved despite not being able to throw the ball consistently so give George some...

    Winning the Moore Award Makes Moulton's Performance That Much Worse

    Kinda like 2009….what could have gone differently if Shonn Greene came back ? Having that weapon puts less stress on Stanzi, tho he did just fine….but do we lose NW or OSU with SG?? Maybe the latter this year do we lose to IU, OR, USC with KJ ability to break the long run in close games ?

    Nice Leistokow article on HawkCentral on how this 8-4 team is much better than even recent 10-2 hawk teams

    2026 and definitely for 2027 and what’s going on with the head coach ? Does he get an extension if he has no plans to step down ? We say this every year but we really need to see the offense figure out how to throw a forward pass. It’s embarrassing to everyone outside of Kinnick faithful...

    Next year

    And we average 16ppg against the ranked teams. Its great that Lester has gotten us to the point where we can run all over the bad to middle of Big10 teams We still look like BF offense against the good teams

    Next year

    We’re putting a lot of faith in a QB who only took what, 6 snaps this year ? In a blow out….where the other team has their backups in too I know Tate came in to 2004 with little to no experience and we are projecting him on to H…. I just can’t trust Kirk or this offense until they actually...

    We had the talent to make the playoffs this year ...

    Iowa averaged 16ppg against the best teams they played this year…. The defense gave up avg 20ppg against those same teams, which was anywhere from 40-50% below those opposing teams averages. Yea the defense didn’t get that final stop, but they haven’t in how long against ranked teams ? Even...

    Mark Gronowski

    Chandler was a very good game manager. He could surprise you with his running. Had a shot put arm motion, but don’t recall him being wildly inaccurate. Had some good WR, and he had very good RBs MG was a great Hawkeye. Iowa was tough to stop when their running game was on. Unfortunately...
