Anyone know why Alvin Bowen isn't in pads in that pic?

Not sure but I think Blythe had more receptions in that write-up than he had last year.

Maybe he has been promoted to coach.

Nice to hear we have a coaching staff that knows what a pass to the RB is. That must be one of the rule changes the NCAA made coming into this season. I don't think that was allowed in previous years that's why ISU never did it.

Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.
The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.

It isn't that ISU never threw screens and passes to backs; they just never did it right. This is one of the things that really turned me against Mac and his "coaching harder" speach. Kids in 3rd grade can run the screen better than ISU did. There is no excuse for that, and it was clearly something that needed to be coached better not harder.

If you want screen plays, you'd need linemen that could block AND run.

I never really noticed it before but we NEVER pass to the RB/ FB. I heard someone say you need blocking, well no exactly...I mean all of last year when Meyer was only getting 1.4 seconds to throw the ball, we could have thrown in a few RB screens and let the defensive rush go right past rather than drop back into an obvious throwing set and make Meyer run when he is a MUCH better pocket passer.

We had crap personnel for the screen. Stevie was too slow and the line was immobile. I remember a few screens last year, all resulting in Hicks juking behind his linemen for a few seconds and then being arm tackled for a loss.

It'd be nice if they got the first name of our offensive coordinator right in the write up.

Anyone notice that Meyer passed a lot to Catlett? Seem like we are throwing to the fullback as well.
