Oh that would be great, and would be an easy solution. Let's cut all of the under performing student-athletes and take them off scholarship and replace them with jucos. You could line the under performing players up at the end of the season and make the cuts. Injuries could be used to get...

Easily, he never learned how to block effectively. In high school CJ was blocking DE's that were about 190 to 210lbs. Did you watch CJ's blocking in the bowl game? It was sub par. This is D1 football, he will get better, it takes time. You have to have more than just size, strength and...

Perhaps, but with some of his routes he appeared open to me, he just did not receive the ball timely or in some instances the pass was not delivered in the right spot. In the NFL the ball will be thrown with better timing and accuracy which will help. I know we all hope he has success at the...

He really struggled last night in blocking. On several running plays his man made the tackle for a zero to one yard gain. It will be interesting to see his grade from hawkeyegamefilm. If he doesn't improve his blocking skills next year I would not be surprised to see him sharing time next year.

Boffeli was a TE coming to Iowa, now up to weight, should be 300 next year, I understand he is one of the top three lineman in terms of athleticism joining Rieff and Gettis. We need Tobin and Scherff playing at a high level next year with one of them starting at left tackle (Rieff will be...

Scherff played better than Tobin? I guess you give no credence to the coaches or Hakeyegamefilm. Scherff has ability, but he missed his assignments too many times. When the compeition level increased mid-season Scherff struggled. That is why he sat the last few games. I hope he improves...

Agree with this completely! Our defense is not the best but it is serviceable. We had zero points until late in the game, and were dominated concerning the time of possession.

It's been a long time! I stand corrected

The Germans, please tell me you are joking?

CJ is really blocking poorly today

CJ is really playing poor today with his blocking.

Okay, for the few posters who can not read between the lines, yes I am joking. I think our defense is playing fine, our offense needs to play at a higher level.

Our defense is really terrible, we can't stop anybody. Thank goodness against better competition, our offense shines.

It is hard to tell. Right now the top two reserves on the line are Tobin/Scherf (they alternate starting) and Boffeli. You have to assume Riley goes pro (If he can go in the first round, he would be a fool not to go). Tobin and Boffeli are going to have a great chance to start. Tobin has...

Perhaps you should send him a "Thinking of You" card.
