    One year from today

    I think a decent ST coach this year probably has Nebraska bowl eligible.

    Special Teams!

    I’ve never understood coaches that just ignore special teams. Good kickers, returners and coverage units can absolutely flip games. I would bet most teams have a couple games every year that are swung by special teams plays. It makes no sense to punt on special teams (pun intended).

    North_estern has a good program

    This is dumb. Kirk isn’t perfect, but I’m in no great rush to run him off. There’s every chance for the team to end with 9+ wins this year and we’re arguably in KF’s longest sustained run of his 23-year time at Iowa. This would be his 7th straight season of at least 8 wins (or the equivalent...

    Nah, you guys were the original NU by like a century.….plus you guys actually are an NU. This isn’t the Big 12 full of “University of” schools that go by State U.

    We're beating Iowa. There it's been said.

    I think you hit the biggest factor. Iowa’s QB’s largely don’t run much and, traditionally, they have a strong OL. Combine those and you’re probably not going to have a ton of QB injuries, though 1 in 10 years is some good fortune for sure. A lot of Iowa fans get frustrated that Ferentz doesn’t...

    Wilbon on the Fitz NFl rumors

    I had similar thoughts when Ferentz was getting NFL interest a decade + ago. You're not a candidate if you suck. Like Ferentz, I expect Fitz to stay.

    Great win!

    Sounds like he's staying, too. That's a win for the B1G.

    Skowronek‘s catch deserves its own thread

    If you watched closely, each team was called for one PI (IIRC), but mostly the refs were letting them play. I thought they missed several PIs each way.

    Skowronek‘s catch deserves its own thread

    I saw more than one play where Epenesa gave him 2 hands to the chest to stand him up and another round to knock him down.

    Skowronek‘s catch deserves its own thread

    Watching live, I was sure it was no catch, but replay got it right. That was amazing.

    Iowa clearly game planned to bracket and limit him.
