-The team had flu and strep throat going around last week-Ceyair Wright was struggling physically vs. Wisconsin due to illness-Tomorrow we will practice like it’s a Wednesday-Hopes the team is hungry to get another win-Iowa is a difficult opponent to prepare for-Lessons of the game are lessons of the season - can’t fumble the ball on the 20-yard line vs Iowa-The guys who practiced the best last week played-If guys didn’t execute in practice, Dana took them out-“Dana is demanding they execute if they want to get on the field”-He also scaled back what we were doing, making it less complex for the offense-Iowa has always been the premier outside zone run team-There hasn’t been a game our guys haven’t wanted to win-Never doubted their effort-Offensively, our guys were relaxed vs. Wisconsin-We’re giving up too many big passing plays-The game vs. Iowa will come down to football, not the weather-Dylan Raiola was better this game as he was healthy and able to move around more effectively-“Playing as a freshman is really really hard”-He has gotten better every week, and this week it was really easy to see-It’s hard to believe when it hasn’t worked, and now it’s starting to work-Thomas Fidone’s 2 total snaps was a result of coaches decision, not injury related-Luke Lindenmeyer has accelerated since Dana arrived-Fidone had a great practice out there today-Dana is blunt with every position, you aren’t going to play if you don’t execute-Malcolm Hartzog was out there today and ready to go-Malachi Coleman will enter the transfer portal-Turner Corcoran will likely be ready for bowl practice-Dana Holgerson is thoughtful, insightful, and methodical-Want to allow our guys to go out there and execute-When the grass fields are workable, we always try and practice outside-“We’re not going to hand the football to Ty Robinson any time soon”-Ty Robinson has been dominant and should be up for every accolade - “he’s the total package”-Coach Rhule is unsure what happened with Donovan Raiola and the cop during postgame Wisconsin

He said we won't hand it to Ty, he didn't say anything about throwing it to him....
 
-Dana is demanding they execute if they want to get on the field
-Dana is blunt with every position, you aren’t going to play if you don’t execute

"how close we came to having Fickel"

Just think how well he could be doing with OUR facilities and fanbase compared to Wisconsin!*

*I'm sorry. That never gets old for me.
 
The secondary wil be way better next year. Coop resigned in July and Butler got here at the beginning of August and didn't even have a full month before the 1st game to really work with them and learning his system on the fly doesn't take the place of working with them a whole offseason. Had Butler been here for the winter conditioning and the spring game, the secondary would been light years better than we are seeing now. Butler's teaching style and philosophy is much different that Cooper's was and Butler is teaching Pro Style which Coop didn't. For example, what was mentioned during the game is each Saftey has their own scheme which is NFL, not the college ranks. These guys have had to learn A LOT this year on the fly. Butler know's what he's doing as he coached the top secondary in the NFL all 5 years he was with the Bills and incidentally during that same time all 5 years, the Bills boasted the best defense in the NFL so think about that. Step away from the ledge.

The reason Butler is here is, he wanted the vacant coordinators position with the Bills but went to someone else so he left and we got a boon and think he was promised the coordinators postion here when TW decides to leave if he even does. What I'm afraid of, is when and if TW ever leaves he takes the entire staff with him and that is something to be kind of afraid of. Don't think for one moment that when Butler was annouced as our new secondary coach the powerhouses didn't immediately take notice of the top secondary coach in the league 5 years in a row leaves them and comes here. I bet you anything, after the season the big boys are gonna try and get him away from us regardless of this year as they know the situation he came into but not worried as they know what he's capable of.
