Iowa Players not Impressed with LSU

You stay confident San Diego!

++ Context Matters ++

His point was that the media hype around SEC teams makes it SEEM like they walk on water.



Lowery and his teammates are not apparently sweating the aura of playing a team from the SEC, which has won the last seven BCS national championships.

"The SEC has good players, don't get me wrong," Lowery said. "But if you never turned on the film and you heard what the media says about SEC teams, you're like, `Those guys are all-world.'

"But once you turn on that film (of LSU), they are doing same exact things we see every day. At the end of the day, they have to block and tackle like any other team.

"Once you watch the (LSU) film, you get really really confident. We're really confident right now."

When I watch film on Iowa I get really really......board...then I wonder how much eligibility I have left incase my slow arse still wants to play D1 football hahaha.

I understand what he's saying to an extent. But the SEC has basically dominated the college football landscape...there's a reason they've received that hype. Yea, LSU on film probably is somewhat boring, I'll agree. And all football players should be confident, but if Iowa players are confident, imagine what LSU players are thinking

the iowa player never called out lsu, he called out the sec

what he said is completely expected from a player headed into a game

How great

Maybe in his own locker room. Those aren't the types of quotes coaches want their players saying in the media BEFORE a game. Miles would rip his players if they said "all big 10 players are slow and their film isn't impressive" at any point this week and rightfully so

What is he suppose to say? That he is scared that our players can't compete with LSU because they are located south of the imaginary Mason Dixon Line and every athlete is bigger, faster, stronger and smarter... Get real

Dude. You're taking this the wrong way. As I said earlier, he has every right to feel confident as a player. They are supposed to. After the past few LSU bowl performances, I'm certainly not of the mindset that this is going to be any type of beat down by LSU. Could it be? I could see it but certainly don't expect it. We have a true Freshman QB in his first start for Christ's sake. I think he'll be a good one but it's his first start.

The point is, a player from the opposing team is talking shite about his opponent through the media before the game and I hope LSU players see it.

LSU will have their hands full. As has been stated in other posts, Iowa plays disciplined football and reminds me of those small-ball baseball teams i.e. UCLA (that give LSU fits). What Iowa is probably seeing is typical Les Miles grind-it-out football and feel like there will be no surprises. There is a surprise though, and that is a scrambling QB that is a threat to run.. Though unproven as a starter, AJ is going to pose some match-up problems they have not seen in the LSU game films, i.e. read option. Every team that takes the field should feel confident against their opponent. But, Iowa's confidence is nothing more than a false sense of security. #gotemwherewewantem
