just for the record for all those experience qb scouts out there - Vandy is 3rd in QB rating, 2nd in passing yards, 6th in completion % (just 3% off the 3rd place qb %), 2nd in tds and tied for 7th w/ Cousins w/ 5 ints. Clearly a bottom tier qb. Too many people making comments on players...

agree with the last two post. Us Hawkeye fans need to learn to have more realistic expectations and then the sky wouldn't be falling so much.

Too many Iowa fans set unrealistic expectations - We knew there was question marks on this team going into the season, in particular the DL. For whatever reason, some Iowa fans still think we should have 10-11 wins every season. Reality is we lost 3 NFL players off the DL, we had attrition...

Iowa got beat up front on both sides of the ball and overall effort= loss.

I like Ferentz and know how he is but damn, I'd rather lose being the aggressor.

Hawks were slow & out played. Can't really agree with picking on Castillo... he was right there in coverage but was just outsized and is the obvious option to attack b/w him and Prater. Could have used Bernstine but ISU had their share of players out or playing through injuries. Disappointed...

we looked slow & tired all over. DL jogging after the qb if the play was opposite field.. didn't see that from any Cyclones. That out worked & outplayed us.

I see him growing into a DT similar to Babs, King etc. but will start at DE. Just my two cents.

add to it, Gabbert is good. Very impressed with his throws in coverage AND wr's for their catches.

nickel was ran and 3 DL rushing (if you call it a rush...not much effort which was disappointing..), blitzes were done on occassion, a safety for a lb (Johnson) was used, hunter played in the 2nd half. there was many things done to mix things up. While I can get frustrated that changes aren't...

spud hawk is right on. besides 2nd all time in Hawkeye passing td's, yeah, he sucks.. forced a couple things at times but also made some good reads, audibles & throws. tired of the b.s. negative people on the boards.

because Stanzi likes to throw the bomb down field into double coverage or drop it to the rb at the line of scrimmage.. sorry, still frustrated how Stanzi, a Sr QB, regressed the second half of the season...

agreed. But I think it is going to be a long tough season regardless, the big 10 is tough. The team is improved but the record won't necessarily reflect it.

I'm not "thrilled" but I'm also optimistic this team is improved and shows signs of going in the right direction. Probably won't reflect from a win-loss standpoint but much better to watch then over the last few years. This is a young team and the future is bright.

here is what I'll say - Matt had been out of the flow of the game and the team was playin pretty well together. He missed nice look at a 3 (it happens) and while I believe a couple others may be better options to score off the drive, Matt did beat his guy off the dribble but took it too far...
