A few years ago it was a potential reality. I guess if BF turns it around and all of a sudden gets the offense rolling in the next few years it could be a potential reality again. But as it stands with the overwhelming disdain there is for BF there's no way even GB would give him the keys.
Your offense is rolling at it's peak right now. It is only downhill from here.


I hope.

I’m pretty sure the rumor is that Keegan won’t play the rest of the year.

Noted. I honestly don’t think he’ll get the job but look at it logically. Dude, Brian has no business having the job he already does and is horrendous at it. He’s already failed up to P5 coordinator job. To say with certainty that he’s never going to get the HC job is silly. The levels at which your fan base sees reality but then says “nah, I’ll make up my own story” never stops being astounding.
but for him to be head coach, Kirk has to be gone. When Kirk is gone, the Ferentz booster allegiance is gone, BF would be the death of their program. As much as we would all enjoy it, aint gonna happen. Although I do dream of CMac and BF being appointed as head BB and FB coaches as Barta's legacy. Probably doesn't matter which team they coach, BF as BB coach CMac as FB coach it would be a train wreck!

3-3-5…don’t we have three LBs?

We do, but often that 3rd LB lines up outside or more in coverage outside of the box. Like I noted in my original post "[ ] only 5 in the box on many plays." There were many, many plays I witnessed against SEMO and every other team throughout the last several years where we only have 5 in the box to start a play and rely on the DBs to come up and make tackles.

I just hope we get help for a guy like McDonald. Dude comes back selflessly to help the program and gets double-teamed on many plays by SEMO, but when you only have 3 down lineman rushing and no blitz (maybe 10% of the time blitz) they can do that to you. Just hoping we see a change this week against Iowa and stack more people up close as Iowa's best chance is running against us and if we can get them in 2nd and 9 or 3rd and 8 forcing them to pass, it's going to set us up very well.

Iowa is bad. Like, really bad. That being said, they will show up for this game and it's in Kinnick. Iowa has a horrible offense and Petras doesn't deserve his starting job anymore.

Our defense looked suspect, so I'm expecting 13 from a bad Iowa offense.

Dekkers was sharp and Hutchinson might be the best receiver in the league.

Cyclones get 24 here and win this one (I hope).
