All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition
- Thread starter YeahBuddy
- Start date
You really want to be passing the ball? Wasn't Petras just ranked like 120th best QB in the nation by PFF or something?
No problem:
8. G KYLER SCHOTT, IOWA
Schott, who walked on for Iowa in 2017, was only a couple of games into his 2020 season before suffering an injury that knocked him out of a few games. He returned to the guard rotation as a non-starter for Iowa’s final three games. Still, Schott was a top-notch pass protector. He posted an 87.4 pass-blocking grade and allowed just one pressure, which was a quarterback hit by Purdue edge defender George Karlaftis on a stunt.
Schott's pass-blocking grade and pressure rate allowed were both top-three best marks by a Power Five guard. And while he saw minimal snaps last season, it was a continuation of success from 2019, when he ranked 16th among Power Five guards in PFF grade.
Iowa media jump over themselves to grovel at Kirk’s feet to vote Iowa players to all Big 10 teams. For crying out loud one of them voted Tyler Goodson for Heisman. How ridiculous.
Seems strange such an elite pass protector has received zero conference accolades.
Also would speak volumes just how bad Petras is considering he would have all day to throw the ball
Pretty darn accurate..... especially coming from a Hawk fan. Good job!
I do think Schweiger is one of the top 5 OL if you're looking at the top 5 OL regardless of position.... similar to how Linderbaum and Newell both make your list.... so I'd take Ince off and add Schweiger.
Campbell/Hummel is a coin flip IMO. Hummel was probably better last year, but Campbell has more potential.
And then I'd take Young off and put Kyle in.

So did Jack Campbell single handedly stop Indiana’s offense? Like 30 tackles?
He was good. The LB I was most impressed by was Jestin Jacobs. There is nothing he can’t do.
Honestly, Downing played like crap. Granted it was the first game and he is coming back from injury, so if you had left him off this week I would have understood. Newell even looked a little rusty at times.
I didn’t see how he did. I know he’s a pretty good player, so I guess just give him benefit of the doubt. I think Britt could definitely be on this list by years end. He was very very good on Saturday.
