Playaction can fool teams, but it's not like the defense doesn't know that the other team likes to do playaction. DancingBull

You can't blame a team who went 8-0 in the conference for not going to the Rose Bowl. hawkeyefantoapoint

Between evenly matched teams, big plays can happen when the offense fools the defense. With Iowa we can't really be sure why the offense was stopped. Was it the play calling, or failure to execute. You can't tell by watching on TV. One thing is for sure, Iowa lacked the talent to run over conference defenses consistantly.

It was a crazy season with all the distractons and injuries. You have to give coaches some credit they managed to win the bowl game and winning is what matters. You'll have to wait two seasons to be able to ask for personel changes. I am guessing that the next years excuse is going to be the lack of senior team leadership and the year after the adjustment to the new big ten. Iowa AD has a great PR staff If you know what I mean. There is alot of politics involved. Ferentz is a money maker and it's going to be hard to get rid of him unless he resigns. I just hope they learn from the mistakes and adjust.

Most of what you say is not reality. I don't care about your moronic jibber jabber. Go bug someone else. aamorri12

Who thinks getting to a BCS bowl game every year is easy! Who wants All The Coaches Fired after a Loss! Every team has the,"We are who We Are," attitude. You don't see Saban's Tide running an Oklahoma Spread offense. You never saw Jordan average 10 shots a game. The Tide like to pound the rock with their two great running backs and throw the ball 20-25 times. Jordan likes to shoot the ball more than 10 times a game. Because that's who they are! You don't need Spread offense Options to win big in College Football. Look at Wisconsin and Stanford. mthawkeye

Tyler Nielsen should be healthy again. Morris and DiBona will be bigger, stronger, faster with another year in the weight room. I think Prater will be back. Hopefully our corners can get better at planting that foot and closing the gap on those short yardage passes, while not getting beat on the deep ball. Greenwood was a good player, but him graduating might be a plus. We need more athletic safeties. Illhawk,

Every offense is predictable. Alabama likes to pound the rock with their two great running backs. Saban's Tide don't want throw the ball up 40 times a game. Oregon likes to run a hurry up, zone read Spread Offense. Even with the Great Andrew Luck, Stanford still loves to run the ball. u2Hawk
