Totally Insane Iowa Stats

Perhaps Proctor needs to rethink his choice?
They also ran for over 180 yards on that stout Jackrabbit defense.
5-10 yard outs = 5-10 yards over the target’s head. It’s just crazy. I think about golf and it’s like, I just pushed that last 6 iron, reason tells me I need to adjust SOMETHING on this 6 iron.
He doesn’t seem to adjust, or if he is, nothing is changing, ergo: Petras has the yips. Yips = mentally spent with no hope except rest/refocus. If they don’t bench him this is just going to keep happening.
The OL classes that should be upperclassmen have been decimated and we are left with an OL that are probably a year too early for PT. Plus it seemed like the entire offseason and fall camp that no one has been healthy.
So next year you guys should be nails.
The way Petras routinely throws 4-5 feet over the heads of receivers they could probably have in-his-prime NFL Randy Moss trying to jump up for catches and it wouldn't matter.
How could anyone tell? You could have Travis Kelce and Antonio Gates for tight ends, and it wouldn't matter much if the throws were 3' over their heads.
They could've gone out and grabbed literally hundreds of JUCO and FCS QBs who would've upgraded their team instantly. So bizarre to not even try.
Easy sell..."hey you want to play on national TV for a program that has produced a few dozen NFL offensive lineman?" Sure they don't have the best offensive scheme but when they've had decent talent at QB they have had drastically better results than Petras. Stanzi, Beatherd, Tate...those guys put up #s. It's not like every QB they bring in automatically only throws one TD in nine games.
Probably not, but maybe serviceable at least which would be a huge improvement over this.
Yeah, that's what I just posted.
Petras throws 5-20 balls a game that Randy Moss couldn't catch in his prime.
They'd be better off just direct snapping to a running back, the 5-6 times a game they pass would be just as accurate and come as a complete surprise and have a chance to be long scoring plays.
Honestly, it wasn't a whole lot better last year and you won a lot of games. Division hasn't exactly looked sharp so far either. This isn't even a "lol hoks" take, I'm serious. There's a lot of winnable games on your schedule despite your offense.
They need to run routes where they have a second receiver about 10 yards behind who they tell him is the intended target

Agreed! KF wants a NFL caliber line… NEEDS a NFL caliber line. Mediocre QB play has been around a long time at Iowa… you hit now and then with a good to great QB, and hit bad now and then too.
This is the offense Kirk wants. He just has a subpar QB… and where do you go with that? Put the backup in…. And they are the same or worse….. its a HC issue. We have heard them scream and write petitions for firing Davis, KOK, now Brian.
They will probably be in almost every game except Michigan and OSU. They could go anywhere between 4-8 and 8-4 at this point. I'm guessing they will go 6-6 or so. The offense last year was really bad after the Maryland game.
Or coach that receivers need the ball delivered at their shoes. He's been that way since his first start. His first year especially he had so many WRs wide open who had beat their man downfield and he'd sail it 10 yards past them.
I really don't think WR/TE is their problem, it doesn't matter if he can't throw a decent ball.
Decimated by injuries, transfers? I don’t remember any discussion of OL on the injury discussions leading up to the game.
I just looked at your schedule, I see 7 more wins on your schedule. I think Mich and OSU are probably losses. Then I think you split Purdue/Minnesota. The rest I see as wins. Nevada is awful, Illinois/NW/Nebraska are poor teams. Rutgers is rutgers and Wisconsin has the same offense as Iowa now.
