Football SquareOffs

This team is heartless and the coaching staff is not only heartless as well but seem to be unable to put together game plans that make any sense or make in game adjustments.

Ferenz and his staff are unable or unwilling to make in-game adjustments. When you are having trouble stopping the run; put 8 or 9 guys in the box. If the other team is blitzing on 3rd downs; run some screens or do a roll-out. Terrible coaching.

We are who we are this week. Five games in and both the O and D-lines are way way underperforming. Nope...we'll struggle all year it seems.

Iowa cannot stop the run, which allows teams to be two-dimensional and become unstoppable.

too many mistakes and too predictable

There is no chemistry this year. All facets of the games are under performing including the coaching staff. The offensive line and defensive line have been pushed around and bullied in all five of the Hawkeyes games. Slim chance we go 7-5. More likely the Hawkeyes will be 5-7.

"Turn-around" implies fixable. Stupid penalties, bad schemes, strategies and plays...yes. 3 of 4 DB's struggling to cover, tackle and play the ball + unathletic OLB's + out-toughed, over-powered lines + poor fundamentals & techinique...too much bad to fix. Best case, 6-6. Likely, 4-8.
