I hate talking about next year, but if we can keep this team largely intact and the get some big bad dudes on the OL and DL and add a corner, running back (keep EJ too with some hefty well-earned cash), and LB with a ton of NIL money, this team will be elite.
Iowa and NU have the same record.

Iowa fans are happy about their season
NU fans are disappointed.

That is the difference between the schools. Well, that and Iowa is a safety school for kids from Illinois that can't get into U of Illinois.

Have three games left and a bowl game with a good chance that Dylan is out for period of time.

Need NIL money for both sides of the line season , but that isn’t helping us the rest of the season.

Shavers and Pietzrak are two very good young players for our defense. Jones has a lot of promise in the secondary. I am still no fan of the 3-3-5 but it is what it is. Damn we were so close last night. We still have a chance for a decent season. These kids will not give up. Last night you saw good effort. We need a win badly this week. If we get it, we stand at 7-3 and have a legitimate shot at 8-4. Lock Dana in a closet and make him say "run the damn ball" 6000 times. That is all.

Dana needs to install his offense or a new offense. Its not just execution. There are few plays called to clear space and hit a cross or dig. A lot of 50/50 balls. The run game is OK but its all EJ slipping through space for 5-8 yards. No counter plays where he is 1 on 1 on the edge.

Agree. We lost a ton next year. It’ll be ugly and then Dar is in the NFL and we’re back to being the tallest midget with our mid 3* roster.
The tallest midget….that sums up the competition in the big ten once you get past Ohio State Michigan Oregon and now include Indiana

I can’t believe he doesn’t have more of his touch on the offense more this year.

Really concerning 3/4 into the season.

Without sounding like a broken record 😆, this team is close!

So yeah, with a few more pieces they could be a dangerous team

lol, so if we add 10 future NFL players to our current roster, we will be elite next year. Really going out on a limb there
