    I think a big part of this is the game starts at 8pm Iowa time and will likely end around 11pm Iowa time. I assume as Iowa practices in the morning that many players are in bed before 11pm. I think this has a significant impact on their athletic ability.

    Kudos to the Defense for gutting out the time of possession gap

    It always worries me when when you have a kick off returned for a TD after the other team scores. Of course you like them but Michigan just had a 9 play touch down and your D gets no rest. Michigan then goes on a 8 play field goal. Then at the end of the game they had the ball 10 minutes...

    This should have been the Clown game

    It certainly appears that they are much better than was projected based on the first three games.

    The Athletic: Does your college football roster cost $8M or $50M? Here's our report on 68 teams

    Why do you think Rutgers and Kansas St did not spend more than Iowa. The NIL Standard has Iowa at $18.4 million, Rutgers at 19.6, and Kansas State at $21.6 not a big difference but still more. Kansas St Avery Johnson is said to be making over $2 million in NIL. He has several NIL deals as...

    The Athletic: Does your college football roster cost $8M or $50M? Here's our report on 68 teams

    I would say that a estimate can be made. Other teams have been involved in recruiting NIL players and may disclose what they offered. Josh Hoover is said to cost $4 million. He was at TCU having a QB rating of 153.4 and throwing for almost 3500 yards before transferring to Indiana. They also...

    Iowa State at Iowa lines as of 2:45 PM Saturday

    Off the top of my head, I would say ISU was decent-good 4-5 years out of Fry's 20 years. Maybe 7-8 years out of the 26 that KF played them. So yes, SLIGHT edge in difficulty to KF. This is the quote I have a major problem with. Which ISU teams were decent to good? The 1980 team was 6-5 beating...

    Iowa State at Iowa lines as of 2:45 PM Saturday

    Check the 1982 and 1984 Iowa teams both went to bowls. Iowa was 7-4 in 1982 and 7-4-1 in 1984 when they went to bowls.

    Iowa State at Iowa lines as of 2:45 PM Saturday

    Once again complete BS. Do your research. 1982 Iowa was 7-4, 1984 7-4-1, 1993 6-5, and 1997 7-4. Every one of these teams went to a bowl. Hayden began coaching in 1979. ISU went to 4 bowl in the 70's with 3 8-3 teams and a 5-5-1 team in 1972.

    Iowa State at Iowa lines as of 2:45 PM Saturday

    Sports Reference has ISU at 6-5 in 1980. They ended up 5-5-1 in 1981 losing to a 6-5 San Diego St and a 2-9 Kansas St. Tied Oklahoma and Beat Missouri both top 10 when ISU played them but ended up 19th and 20th in the final poll. Beat West Texas St 17-13. Strange year for ISU.

    Iowa State at Iowa lines as of 2:45 PM Saturday

    The best teams ISU had during the Fry years were 3 6-5 teams. They had no teams that went to bowl games during this time. ISU winning percentage for Fry was 34%. Now look at Ferentz 15 Bowl teams 3 Matt Campbell teams ranked in the College Football Final and a winning percentage of 46%...

    Did USC struggle today?

    It looks like the Coliseum is between .5 and 1.5 miles from campus dorms. About the same as walking from Hancher to Kinnick.

    Did USC struggle today?

    This sounds bad with around 51,144 in attendance but if you look at the Big 12 this is their stadium seating capacity's. Cincinnati 38,088, Houston 40,000, Kansas 47,233, Baylor 45,140, TCU 47,000, UCF 48,000, KSU 50,000, Colorado 50,183, Arizona 50,782, Utah 51,444. ISU is the second largest...

    Was Fry's 1991 team better than the 1985 team?

    I would say the 1985 team was better as they played a more difficult schedule. 1985 team had the #25 schedule facing #2 Michigan, #14 OSU, and #7 UCLA additionally they faced 3 other teams with winning records. 1991 team had the #58 schedule facing #6 Michigan and #23 BYU while they faced two...

    What a 10 year run for Phil Parker when it comes to giving up less than 20 points/game (no other program comes close)

    10 of the 16 are from the Big 10. OSU has 3 years and no Wisconsin. If you eliminate the Air Force and other non power 5 schools only one from SEC and Big 12 and none from ACC.

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    Will conference realignment change how college athletes are getting the $20.5 million that all power 5 schools opted in for? Look at Iowa State their 2026 budget is $141 million up 24% due mostly student athlete revenue sharing. Travel cost is the problem not $20.5 million payout to athletes...
