I'm hoping Scheelhaase has figured iowas zone d better than Manning did. There's ways to beat that system, we just never tried them with Manning.
Just my opinion, but Manning rarely had a QB that could make the throws necessary to beat that defense. Or the WRs to help do it. The only QB that had the combination of arm strength and accuracy to do it was Park. And he lit up that defense. Yes, I know that Purdy is included in the list of guys that couldn’t make that throw.

Iowa’s secondary as a WHOLE doesn’t compare with ours. And they’ve lost a starting corner for the game. Key is going to be the same as it was against UNI. Make the QB uncomfortable which will lead to mistakes.
Yeah, I guess I don’t get why some are thinking they are at or above our level. I mean, Dejean is good. Schulte is the typical Iowa walk on safety. They’re missing a starter at CB and the biggest thing nwampka has accomplished so far is his star rating in HS.

Amazing take.

X has an interception in both games he’s started, not accomplishing a ton yet, but he’s playing at a high level.

Yes. I thought your offense looked ‘meh’ against an FCS team. I don’t think ISU fans should be concerned, I just don’t understand the confidence gained following that performance.
You pay for ESPN+?

I must be doing something wrong because I love ESPN+. I've subscribed since it first launched and have never had a single issue on any of my devices (Apple TVs, Roku, iPad, iPhone) and I use it every day there are football or basketball games on, usually on multiple devices at the same time.
For ISU fans subscribing to it makes sense. If I was an Iowa fan I wouldn't.

Why are you saying FCS team as a slur? Lol Iowa’s offense put up 166 total yards and had 1.6 ypc last year against SDSU, an FCS team. Iowa won 7-3 with two safeties.

Utah State is projected to be lower end in the MWC and let’s not pretend Iowa lit them up. You didn’t even hit your OCs incredibly low point total.

Not exactly sure.

I think he's asking an Iowa fan if he does since big ten games arean't on it and he thought our games were on the LHN. He's outting his own trolling.

Yeah, that I could understand. Personally, I would probably still subscribe just because there are times when a decent game is on there while a subpar game is on anything else - though that's rare.

Sums up the typical Iowa offense

Herkyshere--and Herky is apparently a sad little guy with no manhood--who knew?

This isn't the ISR, dickless Herky, this is the ISU football forum. Get thee hence.

If I was an Iowa fan with the way the B1G is setup now, I'd probably look into subscribing to Peacock.
I haven't had any issues with ESPN+ in years.
I actually get the most use out of it while traveling and catching up on games.

If you're a college basketball fan you pretty much have to have it. Plus the Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu bundle for like $16/month is a pretty good deal. If you're gambling, you can watch pretty much every low major game on there. IDK how many VMI and Citadel games i've watched on there.

All very true - that said, the FCS as a whole got completely demolished opening weekend so I do KINDA get the point that offensively, I'm not expecting much this season from us. and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but I expect to look a lot like Iowa when it comes to winning games. Which is 100% fine because at the end of the day the goal is to win games but I expect this season to go bowling games will look a lot like Kansas last year and just hope Contreras can keep hitting FG's. I hope I'm wrong but we're relying on a freshman or redshirt freshman QB, incredibly young RB's and a OL that has underwhelmed at times.

I have sky high expectations for the defense
As of now, I even have higher expectations for ST

My darkest fantasy is a 27-0 win over Iowa and I could almost die happy.

ESPN+ is also good for watching now relegated Leceister City in the championship lol

ESPN+ is included with my Disney Plus and Hulu bundle. ESPN+ has a lot of the non-big name PGA tournaments on there so I will have those on while I'm working.

I did not know that Utah State lost 10 defensive starters to the transfer portal. So they had a completely new D out there (pending one guy who may or may not have still been there and didn't graduate).

Yeah nothing wrong with that, I'm just not buying that he actually watched the ISU-UNI game.

Correct. Although if you saw Utah State's defense last year that was likely addition by subtraction because they were, well, not good. At anything defensively.


That said, Iowa's offense looked like it had the potency of molasses in January
