I feel bad for the players because they fought hard today. Wandale is a man.
DL, JoJo, Reimer, Honas played solid. We didn’t get physically manhandled like before. Still too many receivers given too much space. We were lucky to have Iowa miss some throws/catches.
Iowa has a tough defense, but our offense didn’t put enough pressure on them. We showed we were capable of moving the ball, but we’re not prepared enough to do it consistently. Frost doesn’t seem to know how he wants to use the personnel he has. QB inability to throw downfield is still a liability.
Players playing hard isn’t enough. Coaches need to have their team prepared, focused and ready to execute. Coaches are failing.
At least 50-75 other coaching staffs do more with these players. It starts and ends with coaching. And we’ve already seen where we’re at in year 3.
