    Xs and Os: 34 2-Gap Tech: yes or no.

    The vast majority of the fronts are designed to be one gap, even more so when you add line movement and/or a pressure (such as inserting the Will). Even in a front such as “tite”, the nose tackle will appear to be a two gap player but most likely will still have a gap responsibility. For...

    Iowa +10.5 vs Michigan

    Over the years you would have won a lot of money on Iowa if you bet them when they were double digit dogs and bet against them as double digit favorites.

    OC Hire…

    If Nebraska does hire Davis, he needs to bring in Matt Drinkall with him. That guy is a hellva coach.

    Trev it is...

    About the time UNO was cutting programs to move “forward” with basketball and hockey, South Dakota, South Dakota State, and North Dakota State were also making the jump in basketball while moving from DII to FCS in football. Sioux Falls and North Dakota have made similar moves. Minnesota State...

    You play like you practice, so why do you not fix mistakes in practice?

    I agree that things aren’t working out well for Chip Kelly and UCLA and there are obvious differences between Oregon and Nebraska. But I also believe that his practice philosophy has been studied and adopted by winning programs throughout the country. If any of you are like me, and played...

    You play like you practice, so why do you not fix mistakes in practice?

    Chip Kelly at Oregon would practice at the tempo they wanted to play at in games. They would run plays from the line and get as many plays in as they could within a given period. With that, they would correct mistakes on the field using a single term that the players all understood and make...

    Keys to beating Iowa

    1. Nebraska must complete passes from the pocket to move the chains. Iowa will do a good job scheming the run game and control rush to not let either QB win with their legs. 2. At least play even on special teams. Iowa has perhaps the best specialists group in the big 10. 3. Stop the run. Say...

    Iowa spread

    Reading through this thread, other than the racists comments, it’s hard to tell who the Iowa fans and Nebraska fans are.

    CB for Fidone.. he and family loves Nebraska!!

    Agree. Why do so many threads on any Nebraska or Iowa board turn into the same pissing match with the same worn out arguments about why one program is more relevant than the other? Tiring. But here I am, reading through it all again.

    CB for Fidone.. he and family loves Nebraska!!

    A great observation was almost lost in this chest thumping post. 4 of the 5 TEs listed on the Neb roster are junior and seniors. Iowa has perhaps over recruited the position the past two years. Today’s athletes want to play right away and showing them a path to the field is critical in...

    I have no idea what you are trying to say. Maybe use a comma here and there to break up the rant.

    Coaching Announcement

    With the AFCA convention going on this week, I wouldn’t expect any announcements soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if Helfrich joins the staff.

    FWIW: Hawkeyes Shelling Out the Big Bucks

    I agree with everything you said here. Boyd Epley was ahead of his time! About 8-10 years ago I had the pleasure of sitting in on one of his clinics. I learned a lot about his metabolic circuit program that I believe Duval has reintroduced.

    FWIW: Hawkeyes Shelling Out the Big Bucks

    You mean, the speed Nebraska will have on offense that is similar to what Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State have had for years? I’m not even on this board as an “Iowa fan” but rather to add my thoughts to what is, for the most part, a civil and thoughtful discussion. I am pry one of the...

    FWIW: Hawkeyes Shelling Out the Big Bucks

    Your last paragraph explained my thinking better than I did. The 200 call per day guy and the 4 call per day guy both have the same opportunities. However, one performs at a higher rate and is more efficient than the other. I agree that leadership of the individual (from top down) plays a key...

    If blaming everything on Mike Riley makes you sleep better at night, Mr. Cobb, then blame away.

    FWIW: Hawkeyes Shelling Out the Big Bucks

    Same way you can be kicking ass at work and the guy/gal in the next cubical is making half the sales or bringing less value to the company. Both people have the same degree and access to the same resources.

    FWIW: Hawkeyes Shelling Out the Big Bucks

    Doyle is worth every penny. Hell, even PJ Fleck called him the best strength coach in America. (Maybe even elite). Iowa is a developmental program, they would be the first to tell you that. While most think player development focuses on what occurs on the practice field, that is minimal...
