I think those are both true but anybody using that to make the statement that Petras is better than Goff is dumb.
Interestingly, Marc Morehouse commented on the tweet and sounds like that is the plan. They like their WR's this year and will be passing more to set up the run.
They need to ditch the Zone Blocking Scheme that was successful when KF first got there. KF talked about getting rid of it and going to a man to man scheme, but not sure that will be possible now with this limited offseason.
OK, so you're not into stats comparison. Good to know. Ya those Hawk fans and their Goff love, watch out for those rascals.
Oregon State expected him to compete for starting spot as an upperclassmen FWIW
He enrolled early at Iowa and will be on campus for over 3.5 years when the 2020 season starts. He is an upperclassman.
Interesting stat for sure. Still, in the last 5 seasons we have 3 top-25 finishes, 2 top-15 finishes, 3 straight bowl wins and came a yard from making the College Football Playoff. Always room to improve, but I'll take those results.
Do you think they should drop it for good? Just this season because of the players? Curious as you and other hawkeye fans thoughts on that subject actually. Running a zone blocking scheme is very tough and requires a pretty special type of offensive line man to be able to do it.
I think they should drop it. KF has alluded to the ever changing rules of blocking and what is legal and what isn't, has really hurt the zone blocking scheme in the last 10 years. He should have ditched it in the early 10s if you ask me.
If you took my post as me trying to crap on them, that would be incorrect. If anything, I think it shows just how great the lines at Iowa have been and how they have really performed above what they should have given their absolutely abysmal offenses. Hats off to them for sure.
Look at the Nebby game from 2017 in Lincoln. First half we ran mostly zone blocking scheme and had limited success. We changed up to gap blocking in the second half and ran all over them, ended with 300+ yards rushing at nearly 7 yards a pop.
He is a football coach, most football coaches are stubborn. Having said that, he has shown more flexibility in the last five years and has even discussed dropping the zone blocking scheme before the Holiday Bowl.
Just spreading a little good news here as CMC made the top 25.

There’s some recency bias in there. Ogeron is not the 4th best coach. At least not yet. He had a roster full of NFL talent but before last year he had underachieved. Let’s see what he does over more than one year.
Brian Kelly at 5. Really? Lol. Coach Ferentz is too high and Paul Chryst is too low. Pat Fitzgerald is too low.
All in all I think they put way too much weight to the last season.
