The 2 starters at DE are ok, the backups aren't great. One is a converted tight end and the other is a walk on.I also thought the DL looked rough.
Gholston is really good but aside from that, eek.

You will see flawless B1G football this weekend.Have you not seen the rest of college football this season?
It’s funny, the Big 12 gets slammed for the same thing other conferences get praise for.
Moss being a starter has to be concerning. That kid has been beating in coverage more than anyone in Kirk's careerI thought Riely Moss transferred. Also, Iowa's d-line looks bad and will only get worse after this year.

It'll be interesting how he does against Bell and Moore this weekend.Adam Shada would like to have a word with you. I thought Moss played well last year. He has good ball skills.
Shada and Moss is a good comparisonAdam Shada would like to have a word with you. I thought Moss played well last year. He has good ball skills.
The booing of Adam Shada was something else.Shada and Moss is a good comparison

I thought that the B10 games were supposed to be low scoring as it is the best defense conference.Matchup every Iowa fan is worried about. Bell torched Iowa last year and that was without Moore. Purdue is going to score, the question is, can Iowa score too against what shouldn't be a good defense. Iowa needs to get in the 30s and hold Purdue to the 20s.
Joel Klatt literally spent 5 minutes saying how everyone calling the big 12 trash is wrong but gets where it is coming cause the traditional power isn't at the top of the conference right now. Made the argument that if Clemson lost 2 in a row you'd be hearing the same exact thing about the ACC, but if Ohio State or Alabama lost two in a row all you'd hear is how DEEP and STRONG the big 10/SEC are.There's no doubt that this is a weird year and will be remembered differently than others, however the season still matters. If it didn't, Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields wouldn't have fought so hard to get it started.
I think what you saw in Iowa State fans was a coping mechanism in response to a loss. This season obviously matters and you know that but it sounds like you're now setting yourself up to not care if Iowa doesn't do well.
The only thing I agree about in this post is that we haven't seen Iowa play yet. Who knows how they'll end up fairing and their schedule sets them up for success.
The argument that the Big 12 is down is ridiculous because for years we've been told the Big 12 will never be legit until someone else comes out and steals OU's throne. Well, it looks like that's going to happen this year. So it's quite contradictory to now say the Big 12 is bad because OU has gotten beat twice.

So if the game is something like 30 - 37, are you going to call that a bad defensive game?Matchup every Iowa fan is worried about. Bell torched Iowa last year and that was without Moore.

Yikes. Doyle, Colbert and now CampbellLB has Djimon Colbert as the leader with Nick Niemann, and Jack Campbell.

Losing Doyle and Colbert is hugeThanks for continuing to be the source for Hawkeye information. Nobody stays on top of all things Hawkeye like you do!

Your defense looked shaky at best and that was with CampbellWell I could be wrong, but I don't think Purdue will have a good defense this year. I'm expecting Iowa's defense to be decent this year, but Purdue has one of the best WR tandems in the entire country so they are going to score some points.

Look at your depth chartYou watched them practice or play this year?
