@hawkeyegamefilm As a Packers fan, I would love for them to take Wetjen. He can return kicks and punts from day 1. I expect he will need to carve out a role on kick coverage as well to lock in a spot.
@zachkruse2 He played a ton of DT at Iowa. I wonder if he has a future there. Perhaps not a second contract but we could give him his remaining time there.
@JacobMorley Honestly, that was a coaching masterpiece but the players completely fell apart at the end. I think we will get another shot at them in a month.
@hawkeyegamefilm In 2015, Iowa was at 7.8 yards per pass. 7, 7.2, 7.4 from 2017-2019 during the Stanley era. I felt pretty good about our pass game back then.
@hawkeyegamefilm 100%. The passing offense was enough to keep the team on the rails but not good enough to compete with the top of the B10. The passing game needs to get to 7.5 yards per attempt (6.4 this season). Getting there helps with the razor thin margins we are used to Iowa playing with.
@TylerKluver I think the 2015 team goes 10-2 or perhaps 11-1 with the 2025 schedule. Much more balanced on offense (7.8 yards per pass). The 2015 team had a little more star power than the 2025 team has. I stil really enjoyed the 2025 season though. Really good, inches from truly special.
@zachkruse2 Right. Absolutely no reason to put the ball in harms way when you can drain the clock and your defense can suffocate them. Got the win easily and got out relatively healthy for Thursday.
