I heard, read the Bert had a good team going, he had a very good transfer qb to step in, but even though they were avg ok at OSU last week which is a good thing sometimes, did they have a big let down today or do they have weaknesses. Is Purdue getting that much better?
Purdue beats Illini at Champaign, what the hell is going on?

Remember all the people on here wanting Bert to take over at Iowa?

It is quite difficult trying to figure out who is good or average this year, with all of the teams.
Score was 24-17. Maybe Bert will fire his Offensive Coordinator this week? Probably only one he should hang on to is his dietitian. He's supposed to have lost 75 pounds with 50 more to go

Bert works hard at a place for 2-3 years, then gets fat (literally) and happy. He never sustains other than a bit longer than Wisconsin. He doesn't have the discipline.
i suppose firing a coordinator randomly has an effect when game is played a few days later
Bobby Hauck - Wikipedia
Bret should never have hired Bobby Hauck to be his D coordinator. Bobby Hauck was a briefly retired FCS head coach who hadn't been a defensive coordinator since, wait for it...ever.
That's right, check Hauck's resume. He'd been a defensive position coach, special teams coordinator, and head coach. He'd never once been a D coordinator in his entire career prior to joining Illinois. Additionally, he hadn't coached above the mid-major level since being in role at Washington that ended in 2002 (forever ago).
Hauck was a solid FCS head coach in his two stints at Montana, and he nearly won it all there multiple times.
Hauck was never a good fit to be a FBS Power 4 D coordinator, and Bret was a fool for ever thinking it would work.
Was that a 23-game losing streak to P4/5 teams that Purdue just snapped? Ooof!
Good point - I have not watched them much, but was not impressed. Ped State was picked to finish 1 and the Illini were picked 4th in the BT….not happening!

I pulled it off copilot…the source seems legit:
That said, the Cleveland.com poll is widely regarded as the closest thing to a consensus preseason Big Ten football poll because it has been conducted for many years and includes media members from across the conference. But it remains a media poll, not an official league ranking.
The Big 10 is elevating. Coaches, facilities, resources. Odum is a pretty good coach. His teams make major improvements in year 2 and 3
Rutgers is really the only program that’s going backwards. Maybe Maryland.
It’s why Iowa can’t afford to take a step backwards. Keep elevating.
