whitesoxfan99 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 31, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) Iowa has been very good in bowl-games. I wouldn't throw a ton of money down on the Hawks if they were playing Florida, USC, LSU, Alabama, etc, but I'd give them a fighting chance. They aren't as bad as some of you say. And I realiez Ferentz said that about the computer and the big reason is because the computer doesn't tell how the Hawkeyes win. At the same time, it factors in heavily the teams Iowa's played, etc, and at some point you can't argue that Iowa has beaten some pretty good teams in some pretty tough places. If Iowa goes undefeated (and I still don't necessarily believe they will), they'd have a resume which includes wins vs Arizona (top 25), @ Penn State (top 15), @ Ohio State (top 15-top 20), @ Wisconsin (Top 30), vs Michigan (Top 30-40). And right now the Iowa State win isn't looking like a bad win either (although the Clones are losing today). Arizona is not a top 25 team despite their ranking IMO. There is a good chance they lose 3 or 4 more games this year. They still need to play at Arizona St., at USC, at Cal and home against Oregon.

That was bad, not even one attempt at play action. And Terry Hawthorne might have saved Zook's job by running down the Michigan WR on that play. Not sure how to feel about that.

This game is the prime example of how Michigan has regressed the past few weeks. Michigan State game was the turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 31, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) IU should have won that game, just like they should have beaten Michigan and Northwestern. So Iowa benefited just like those other 3 teams did, but had IU been able to execute they'd be 7-2 and in the top 20. So lets not start calling IU some awful POS team. They aren't the Illini. I wish.

Id imagine he would have atleast 1 more season to turn things around there, I think next season with Tate Forcier having a year under his belt they can be a pretty good team.

whitesoxfan99 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 USC's defense looks horrible. And I really don't understand why they sit back in a zone so often with the athletes they have. Especially since they are being shredded today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Wow, USC really s*** the bed. Now I get to watch them play in a game like the Capital One Bowl. Joy. People love to hate Taylor Mays, but he stayed while his whole defense went pro, and now he suffers because of the lack of talent. He looks bad but it's the result of his teammates, similar to Forte/Cutler because of their OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) Fantastic assessment. I would agree with everything you wrote. Are we going to get Good Jon or Bad Jon? That will be the big factor. SC's secondary is very tough and you have some damn good pass rushers, so I think we'll have to run on you guys to do well. Still, Crompton has to take what the D gives him and not force stuff (like the last 2 games), or else we'll be out of this one. And yeah, that upper deck (I'm assuming the south corner endzone) in the worst spot in the stadium, which I guess is why we stick the opposing fans up there. 4 Turnovers leading to 4 short fields and 24 points. We're just not good enough to overcome that. Grats on the win, I hate to think 'what if' concerning maybe if we knew how to hold on to the football.
