It's more fan candy

Don't think our DBs give a f what he says...they will either show or not...and Diaz will either show up or not

With that said...he hasn't seen these level of corners

We'll see if he thinks it's candy after the game
He saw Sharpe and Ponds last year.

this iowa team is too inexperienced to win at michigan. not a question of whether it's theoretically possible as much as whether a team with the least number of starts in the b1g (and almost nationally) can have the poise to overcome a combination of talent, hostile crowd, and zebra freebies.
The Michigan crowd is relatively quiet, particularly for 100k.

If you think you are good then you want to prove it against someone who is also good.
Which is a fair point

I just think this is media/fan stuff vs. how players will react

I know Diaz (even though I called him Cruz) can play and is fast. I also know he will be covered by a guy who will likely go WAY higher in the draft and likely have a 10 year NFL career...

Not sure Diaz calling it out will have an effect (unless it makes Hill take more bong hits this week...btw...that is a possibility)

The only effect will be fan stuff if Diaz can't match up

ESPN just called us Fools Gold so I hope we feast on some wolverine steak this righteous Saturday and prove those clowns wrong.
You guys are fools gold every year...

Then you beat teams that you aren't supposed to because you are well coached

And then you put guys into the NFL because you develop them

You are never a great team but will always be a solid team capable of biting a team in the butt

That's why Iowa always scares me

He said man coverage is a candy store. I don't know a WR that would argue with him on that. Are you actually arguing that Harris is at the level of Diaz?
Are you actually arguing that Diaz is at the level of Harris? Dude was All-ACC last year.

All-ACC. You are dense enough to look at Diaz's stats against FCS opponents but not Harris? He had 145 against Stanford, 161 against Duke, and 93 against coastal...Yeah, I'll take Daiz, the offer list also gives you some insights on that argument.

Uh, I thought his name was Diaz.

If you think Diaz played any game last year against any team that could touch those schools you named and their defenses, I have learned all I need to about your player assessment acumen.

Fools gold had been the perfect description until last year. Iowa beat teams with elite defense and special teams alone for several years, but they were a 2 legged stool that fell hard against better programs. If the defense and special teams didn't score, Iowa didn't score. That's not exactly the case anymore.

Harris had 399 yards combined against 97th, 98th, and 125th ranked defenses, apparently this makes him elite...LMFAO

Though not young and inexperienced. A large number of Iowa starters are in their 4th and even 5th seasons playing college football and then sprinkle in the transfers that have played a ton elsewhere.

4th game of the season and plenty of experience already gained the past three weeks. We don’t have any excuses.
Win.

All other opponents Tony Diaz played against are FCS D1. A murderers row of scheduling. Not one player from those teams would start for an ACC defense, let alone B1G.

Are you Tony's mother?

Na, wonder why the third team Harris didn't receive a Bama offer? You have any insights into that?

I think we're done here. Good luck Saturday. Make sure you tell us after the game how Michigan trying to do a stripe out is weak compared to Iowa.

Wouldn't be the first time you stole info from another team, but hey congrats on finally getting organized.

Teams have always been weary of playing Iowa due to their special teams and defense. Now though, it is completely different. The defense is still elite. Special teams seem to be special again. And now there is an offense. I expect a Hawks win. And I really don't think it will ever be in doubt. OSU...that's a different discussion. But I am confident against UM.

Calls Iowa fool‘s gold and then immediately gives two reasons that support the opposite…

Got a couple of UMmmm fans at work (not co-workers), working on a version of "Hail to the Victors" after the IOWA victory I'll sing next week.

Michigan's two D-tackles are huge (310 & 328) Our interior OL will have their hands full. Will we be able to move the ball on the ground?

running lanes will be there, but if they don't have to respect the pass, they will be filled with LBs/CBs. I have no idea what is wrong with Mateer, but man he missed so many throws, including screen passes that would have gone for big gains.
