You tell me

Is Iowa legit?  Being leaped in the rankings a few times over the last two weeks, are they the best team of the Ferentz era?  I heard countless local radio personalities saying this is the best Iowa team they have seen.  I love it!  I had a chance to view this very disciplined and mistake free team Saturday and it was a blast.  Stanzi looks real comfortable back there slinging the skin, I see the confidence building and he’s only going to get better every game.  I seriously see him going in the third or fourth round of the draft this year.   This dude has, “it”.  You need five corn-feds to give you that comfort and Iowa had a question mark there going into the season but this line is getting physical and bullying people around.  True, we haven’t played a real tough defense yet, but this whole team is showing discipline.  Adam Robinson is the man in the backfield racking up some serious stats and running with a case of, ‘little man syndrome”.  Let’s not forget Robinson’s ugly sister jewel Hampton, good luck limiting the ground game.  Forget it!   We have a very talented set of receivers that are going to thrive off of Stanzi’s game by game progression but I’d like to see more Keenan Davis and Paul Chaney Jr.  We have some weapons.  We could get creative and I think you will see Ferentz and O’keefe try to implement a couple of new looks every game.  This offense is going to get crazy come big ten time.  I don’t see much of change between Reisner and Moeaki.  Moeaki was more athletic but he was off the field half the time nursing an injury.  That being said we are tight end U and I see Reisner playing on Sundays.  What can I say about our four d-lineman that hasn’t been said?  They are the best d-line in the country and I’m not alone on that, most would agree.  The linebackers aren’t Angerer and Edds but Jeremiah anchors a group that is just talented enough to look stout with a d-line like that in front of them.    Shaun Prater is the second shut down corner in two years; he’s going to be playing on Sundays.  Micah Hyde made one bone head mistake against Eastern Illinois and I’ve kind of held that against him.  Let’s see what he does against badger and Spartan receivers and I might show him some love. Sash is a hawk!  Don’t over throw your receivers because he sits back there hungry.  Greenwood is a good compliment to Sash.  The only thing that worries me is the field goal kicking.  Who is going to get the job and who is going to screw it up in a big game to allow the other one to have the job?  We have a freshman who can boot it into the end zone on kickoffs and a top notch punter, both of which give us great field position so I can’t get too down about special teams.  I was worried about this Saturday down in Arizona at the beginning of the season and now I’m not…that’s legit.  After last year’s games, yeah, that’s legit.
