When was the last time Iowa had a leaky defense?

Late 90s?

He plays in the one conference in America that still has white dudes with flattops on the field

Because he's a good coach. He had Norm Parker for a long time was a great defensive coach and he's had Norm's son ever since. Iowa is a program that is great at developing players

In a division with Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Scheduled to play Rutgers from the East four seasons in a row.
Then add Iowa State in as their OOC Power 5 team.

They have two first rounders this year too most likely, though one is an OT. They’ve got some players.

Iowa always has good players and usually have guys drafted high in the NFL. They do a great job developing guys.

PJ cost Minnesota that game. Ran onto the field like a child after one of his receivers got popped. It would’ve been first down MINNESOTA at the goal line but it ended up being offsetting penalties and turnover on downs.

Totally wrong.

Both penalties were after the play. As it was 4th down it was change of possession. BOTH penalties were enforced.

eta-But yes, Capri Man was a complete clown in that situation. Then afterwards tried to claim his guy was laying there motionless and he felt bad and had to be there for him.

The guy was standing upright when douchebag got there.

He plays 2/3 of his games below freezing and 20+ mph winds. That’s helps your defense

People in the South really, really, really exaggerate the weather in the Midwest in November

Dead ball foul, I’m an idiot. Was caught up in the game and had Minny and was pissed off when it happened.

There's nothing to do in Iowa in the offseason but lift weights.

We all know the answer to this...

KF is a decent/good coach, but his entire schedule typically is played against teams that call Les Miles for recommendations on new and creative offensive plays.

Same way he ranks 100th in scoring offense this year. Terrible athletes playing offense in the Big 10.
