But I like the play of our OL. Not perfect but we look like a team that can now beat the Gophers of the world
Yes, it’s UTEP
- Thread starter c3o
- Start date
Having guards that can move people helps.
It is UTEP but we are beating as we should. Last year this game would have been 7-7 at the half
Kids are playing faster.
Part of that is recruiting, part of that is being in year 2 of a system.
Future is bright.

just think what type of recruits we could get if we show progress
This ^^ UTEP can’t just stack the box and dare Nebraska to throw
This group at least seems to play through the whistle, which is an improvement from recent years. Guys taking plays off and waddling back to the huddle was a hallmark of the Frost era.
Yes it’s only Illinois St but Iowa fans are already booking tickets for Atlanta
Helps the OL when the QB has pocket presence.
I think my one gripe of the defense is they haven’t killed anyone yet
I fully expect Mazzcua to kill a Buffalo who tries doing to DR what they did to Martinez.
It is UTEP but for since we fired Pelininweve struggled against these team that we should easily beat. This is nice. Shows progress
Yeah it's UTEP. But I won't complain about a blowout win these days no matter who it's against. It's nice to see the offense putting some points on the board.
Anyone expecting a top 10 team may be disappointed. I just expect progress and potential. We have that in spades. I’m happy to see us win easily and do what we want. It’s a nice change of pace.
1) If we win next week this is going to be a hell of a fun season.
2) If Fidone can't block, let's play someone who can.
It is amazing what delivering the ball on time -- and on target -- does to an offense. Putting the ball on the numbers lets your skill people do skill people things to the first defender instead of being tied up, twisting around for the ball then getting lit up before they get turned around. Doesn't directly show up on a stat sheet but it's invaluable.

Likely going to be the new TE, but like I said earlier this week, it's going to take a few weeks to get him caught up. I'm hoping he's ready by Big 10 play.
