Next year is the last for super seniors. Maybe the mercenary market will shrink after that.
He won 1 “big game” if we can now call it that now that we know USC sucks. Didn’t realize they were that awful and will still almost lost. Give Franklin a trophy.And you have no clue what you think are and aren’t big games so…
why don’t people back up things they’re on record as saying? I’ve always wondered this.
You clearly don’t know ball. Why do people debate on things that they have no clue about. I’ve always wondered this.
Maybe over the course of the full season.I am going to guess Iowa will not have 6 wrestlers scoring 100 points
It is bc they have big men nowI think this team is better than Shrew's tourney team. Things get real on 12/5 when Purdue comes to the BJC. We could be 8-0 and ranked.
I had to look it up, I am a fan just not a parrothead.Hah! How many parrotheads do we have posting here?
And it’s dance with me, dance with me,
Iowa trollers
Take me to the stars that you know.
I don't think it matters if he blows through the competition. My sense from listening to Cael is that his first priority when deciding on redshirting his wrestlers is to do what the athlete prefers. All indications are that Connor prefers to redshirt alongside his brother. The second priority is if the team really really needs points to win the Natty. This year we don't need them so I can't see Cael pushing him to not redshirt for this reason either.My guess is the plan is to redshirt Connor Mirasola, but for the sake of discussion, if he blows through the field and beats Cochran and Barr, would that change anything?
I am going to guess Iowa will not have 6 wrestlers scoring 100 pointsCaliendo, Ferrari and Kennedy. 90 points. I suspect they’ll manage a transfer or two, giving them over 100.
A totally impressive 2nd half. To put up the numbers they did after looking dead in the first half was impressive. Zach Hicks said Coach Rhoades wasn't too happy at half time and said he couldn' t repeat some of it on radio. I guess it lit a spark, that spark was mostly Ace Baldwin, who then got everyone else going.102-89 Penn State. This offense can put up points.
Yep Purdue and Rutgres to open up conference play will be a big test. Win one of those and the team could be way better than anticipatedI think this team is better than Shrew's tourney team. Things get real on 12/5 when Purdue comes to the BJC. We could be 8-0 and ranked.
You clearly don’t know ball. Why do people debate on things that they have no clue about. I’ve always wondered this.Put a TE at WR. Sure why not. Do you have any more stupid recommendations?
That's been one of my complaints with Franklin for a long time. His conservative nature doesn't allow his players to make mistakes. Allar is a physical stud and from all appearances a winner, but after all this time as a starter he is just starting to maybe turn the corner on being a great QB. Franklin was so intent on not turning the ball over that Drew was afraid to throw the ball downfield and make plays. He still shows signs of being tentative. Drew could have been slinging it last year with a few more TDs and probably a few more INTs and he would have been a much better QB at this point.
Could be the same deal with the WRs. Stick with the safe guys and hopefully win all the games we're
Omg 1 play, where T-Frank said that play wasn’t even his fault.Had a chance…ball hit him in head…fail
Put a TE at WR. Sure why not. Do you have any more stupid recommendations?The last 3 weeks have combined for a total of 45 yards. These guys are just wasting reps right now. Completely dominated by a pathetic Purdue secondary. I really don’t care if you put Reynolds in WR positions if he’s able, play Tyseer Denmark, or give more targets to Dinkins. But these 3 starting receivers are just not getting it done right now and their reps need to be reduced.
At this point we should mainly be doing 2 TE sets.
