Bucky sucky.The Hogeyes are about to land former 4* OT Trevor Elbert, who had offers from Bama, OSU, Texas and Oklahoma....as a walk on.
The Iowa Hogeyes won the 2016 Joe Moore Award for College Football's Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit over Clemson and Alabama. No doubt, this was a determining factor in the Elbert decision.
So a team that returns four OL starters and eight of their ten in their two deeps, adds a talent like this as a walk on, can we compete with that in a brand new 3-4 defense?

That's because there is SO much more to do in Iowa than Nebraska.It is starting in ten minutes and the crowd looks very sparce.

I know you are kind of new to the Big Ten, but Iowa never gets a large amount of 4-5 star players. They find players that fit their system and develops them. And a lot of the time develops them into NFL talent.Yeah, that just shows how bad recruiting has gotten at Iowa. Adding a walk-on 4 star who isn't cleared to play at his current school ties for the second highest rated recruit in Captain Kirks last 2 recruiting classes. If it wasn't for the legacy 5 Star Epenesa and local Iowa boy 4 Star Wirfs, then Elbert would be the highest rated prospect they have brought on campus the last 2 years. Even Captain Kirk's Smoke and Mirror show with lackadaisical recruiting is going to catch up with them soon. They aren't bringing in the level of athletes that others B1G schools are. Nobody on their roster is of the athletic level of Tyjon Lindsey, Bookie, Lamar Jackson,......... Riley is restocking our barren cupboards with talented athletes while Lefrentz is playing with fire hoping he can continue to develop recruits who he competes with MAC school to get. Good coaching can only take you so far, you need the athletes. As Barry Switzer said about the secret to winning "it's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmies and Joes".
And a defense that gave up 40 points to the worst Iowa offense in recent history.Now all Iowa has to hope for is us having a starting QB that can barely walk, and a backup QB that has a broken hand.

I'm guessing because Nebraska understands how much a packed house for a measly spring game can impact recruiting. Picked up 4 recruits, 3 of them 4 stars, and still getting mileage out of that practice with more commits coming.Why is Nebraska so obsessed with the spring game? You almost brag about that more than how you used to be good in the 90s. Neither mean a single thing once the season starts.

True, but you might want to go back and roll tape on the complete ass whipping that was going on both sides of the line of scrimmage.Well, considering a healthy Tommy Armstrong keeps drives going, which not only keeps your offense off the field, but allows our defense to rest, I'm guessing you don't come remotely close to 40.
If it wasn't for the people, Iowa would be a very pretty state.
Disrespectful to the state of kentucky.True, gambling, meth and their cousins. Ever been to Council Tucky?![]()
