Same old Iowa offense and defense, make the other team make mistakes so they lose the game. Kirk Ferentz will never change his game plan, his teams are not built to win championships, they are built to just stay in most games in the BIG. Bottom line they are a very boring team to watch.

Now Iowa State on the other hand try's to win championships (BIG12) quite a contrast isn't it.

I believe Kirk is crushing the record for all time Big 10 coaching losses. No one knows how to ruin a QB like Kirk.

I’m confused. The Iowa punt returner was tackled at the 5. They got a hold. Half the distance should be the 2.5. Yet they’re at the 5?

Klatt just said the Iowa QB never faced an environment like at Ames.

Not taking anything away from ISU and its fans. But I suspect the Iowa QB has played at places like NDSU and Montana for his prior team. Those stadiums might be a little smaller. But they’re going to be every bit as crazy and electric as pretty much anywhere else.

As for transitioning up a level of competition, I think some might overemphasize the difference because they don’t factor in that he’s now got ten other FBS players surrounding him. It’s not like he’s playing ISU surrounded by DII players.

(jftr, I just started watching the game on delay. So if he really does suck, please ignore the foregoing!)
