Iowa looking good. Sparty somehow won a game they tried very hard to lose. 

B1G has some rough matchups ahead against the SEC. Would much rather have PSU play Bama and Iowa play Auburn. Minnesota should have USC and Michigan play Memphis.

Hawks putting a thumping on thr Trojans baby. :thumbsup:

Damn they looked really good last night and that LaPorta dude looks like another in a long line of NFL Tight Ends coming out of Iowa and he's only a freshman. 

I didn't know that Hayden Fry had passed away....that man was a helluva coach.

Yeah where was that offensive play calling all year?   Trojan defense is trash though.   How can a program as storied as USC be 79th in recruiting.   That dude needs to be canned for that alone.

They're impatient and too many big money boosters have too much influence. They're actually doing the right thing by sticking with a coach for a while instead of jettisoning. They won't recruit top 5 classes again until they reestablish stability and an identity.

Good point...seems as they have struggled finding the right AD as well...always looking for a big name instead of someone qualified and competent.

They won't either without a running game.

Yeah I  didn't know that Graham Harrell was their OC and had installed The Air Raid offense. 

Hard to recruit top OL when the NFL will see them as one dimensional.

My youngest played against him in HS.  He's come a long ways but that is what the hawks are so good at.   Developing players that are 2-3 star recruits.

Exactly...that's what Dantonio used to be good at but he seems to have lost his magic.

Honestly much of its the coaching staff, s&c coach/program and kids buying in and being willing to change or develop into another position.   Head coach does the hiring but the coaching staff does the daily teaching.   Kirk bas signed smaller contracts than he's worth to get coaches more.   Met him a number of times.   Class individual.  His son the OC is hated on campus.   Rude and arrogant.

The Iowa program has always been above board and a class operation.
