re: My Final Take on the Outback Bowl

90% (106 of 119) of senior starters under Ferentz signed an NFL contract (draft or free agent). I would say that's pretty damn good for the "crappy talent" we get to Iowa City.

Brewhawk, are you the same jackhole who was posting crap on the NIU board before the season?

You feel confident? Fine, but please don't post ridiculous crap.

Nobody cares about seniors singing an UDFA and then getting cut in camp.

There are actual stats out there to defend yourself. For example, this link will show that Iowa is currently 13th in Active NFL players by college.

Of course LSU is better (3rd), but I saw that LSU has 10 more 4/5 star players on their current roster than Iowa has signed in the last 10 years combined. So for what they get, 13th isn't too shabby.

Additionally, holding LSU to 100 yards rushing? You look like an arse.

Here's some actual data:

Team | Avg | v. Iowa |Over/Under Avg | % of Avg
NIU | 312 | 163 | -149 | 52%
ISU | 143 | 59 | -84 | 41%
WMU | 116 | 74 | -42 | 64%
Minny | 200 | 30 | -170 | 15%
MSU | 182 | 135 | -47 | 74%
OSU | 317 | 273 | -44 | 86%
NW | 172 | 225 | 53 | 131%
Wisky | 283 | 218 | -65 | 77%
Purdue | 67 | 53 | -14 | 79%
Michigan | 130 | 60 | -70 | 46%
Neb | 221 | 89 | -132 | 40%
Total | 2143 | 1379 | -764 | 64%

Sorry that's jumbled, but it shows Iowa has held 10/11 opponents (no avg for Mizz State) under their rushing average this year.

I expect LSU to put up 150-175 on the ground.

Yep, I post crap. So sue me for being optimistic.

If you go by your stats, 64% of LSU's season average would be 128 yards for the game. Screw off for those 28 yards.

That said, if we hold them to the 150-175 yards you state, we will still win the game.

you sound ridiculous.

Your defense won't be able to stop LSU, Bama barely stopped it. The game should have been closer than what it was. LSU fumbled on the goaline taking 7 off the board, and seemed to get frustrated throughout the game. In the Ole Miss game Mett threw 3 picks in the first half and 2 were when we had the ball inside OM 40.

those are the only two games you can say teams limited LSUs offense.

LSU starting running back after being suspended the first two games has over 1100 yards and our 2 starting wr have over 1100 yards.

I will go on record saying that either Hill or Magee will eclipse 100 yards. For you saying our entire rushing game won't have 100 yards.

I don't think Iowa will be able to handle our offense very easily, but all the information you just posted was with Mett on the field. Hard to say we'll go out there, and air it out like we did with Mett. Jennings will have to play pretty well for a freshman for us to win.

I like our chances. If I'm wrong, I'll be back to give congratulations

Kinda hard to have a HUGE win in the Outback Bowl vs a team that isn't in the top ten, but it would be nice to cap a comeback season with a victory against a decent team that nobody expects us to beat.

Next year will be better.

Yeah, I really don't know what to think for the Mett vs. Jennings situation.

Iowa typically fares better vs. pocket passers over mobile QBs, but Mett was having a great season and has very good experience where Jennings has essentially none.

We have no game tape on Jennings, but I don't see the offense changing wholesale in three weeks after he's spent a whole season in it. I do think that you may see some plays where the defense gets run off the LOS and allows Jennings some running room.

All in all I think I'd rather face the known entity vs. the unknown, but Mett was playing so well, that it is likely better that we're seeing an inexperienced QB in his first start, even despite the mobility factor.

---

I'm on the opposite side of that.

I would give Iowa 0% chance vs Mett as he would carve up our secondary.

Everything I've read about Jennings suggests, that while mobile, he's not a run first QB. I think Jennings is closer to Devin Gardner than Braxton Miller.

I read an interview w/Beckham or Landry (or both? IDK) that talked about needing to adjust more to Jennings' ball vs Mett. I also read Jennings was completing less than 50% in practice.

I think there's a decent chance Jennings throws at least one pick.

Thank fricking god

You really don't understand SEC football, do you?
