That's the thing - he's good for one drive a game.
A DI OC should be better than that.
Against a darn good defense.
From the looks of it right now they could play on mushrooms the rest of the season and get 7 wins.
Some kid named Deuce Hogan who was apparently at Iowa just came out for Kentucky in the Swamp.
In a sane world this would have been a comfortable victory.

That's the ******* Iowa game in the last 7 years in a nutshell. Just getting the win is a big thing.
It’s different when you see it with your own eyes. Couldn’t believe how bad he looked. Wasn’t he like a 4 star recruit?
Coincidentally, the 99-yard TD drive reminded me a little of the milk-clock drive in 4Q NU '09 -- exceptions being (1) ISU trailed in this one and needed to score at some point (2) didn't score vs. Nebraska, but kept NU offense off field.
That drive was program building - Dekkers, a young QB, protected the ball late and helped. A OL that was maligned last year - stepped up against a good front and protected well and gave Brock some running lanes. Brock, fluke fumble aside, showed he can be the man on a team. Bitter stepped up -
defense looked really good. Our young Kicker continues to be perfect... our punt team is horrible though we got the one off that mattered most I guess.
It was as ugly as ugly gets - and both the players and staff have more than enough to clean up - but this was a game we would have LOST last year. Texas Tech, WVU, etc, etc... Iowa.
There was something different this year. Last year we never recovered from shooting ourselves - this year we did - yes, Iowa was worse on offense and that helped.
But as ugly as it was - I'm incredibly optimistic moving forward. Many years of my fandom that was a game we lose. 99% of the time. Especially after the double penalty, etc. And having the ball on the 1 yard line.
We got into a bar fight the king boss of bar fights - on the road - with a. young team - and came out with a Win.
I admit I feed into the negativity - in my defense my mom's in Iowa City in the hospital and may not be around for next years game so I really, really hoped we got the win and thankfully we did.
a lot , a lot to improve on but man, we're 2-0, should be 3-0 heading into Big 12 play if we take care of business and halfway to going bowling.
Y'al are awesome and thank you and go State!

If he is such a great coordinator, where was that all game? We could have done that all 4 quarters.
Why did play calling change when we got to the red zone when we had been running all over them?
Why did it take an amazing play by X to get us that touchdown?
You never forget any win.
College football is very top heavy but it's also fickle and you take 'em when you get 'em.
Bitter flashed some potential. Noel made a couple nice plays. I still think Stanley will be good once he gets used to the offense.
Not so sure about that. I've been watching Iowa football 40+ years and this is the worst offense and QB I've ever seen... and I weathered Matt Sherman...
