I think it's no turnovers on downs. Giving Iowa a short field is playing into their hands. Our punter is a stud. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine of a long field by punting on every fourth down outside of field goal range. Make them fight our defense the length of the field.

We can't afford to hand the ball off to Whittington straight ahead on the first few drives for 2 yards a carry. Give him a wheel route, or other outlet routes if we think we can pass early. If we want to run straight ahead, it has to be Davidson or Harris. And don't keep doing it into a loaded box.

If we find something that works early run it again and again until they stop it. I don't care if we are just getting 4 yards per bubble screen, keep doing it. Get them chasing our scheme instead of us running away from theirs.

I'm so sick of us trying to challenge every blade of grass and seeing a defender beat us to it.

I really want to see Stein and Moore evolve beyond their predictable weaknesses that defenses keep attacking.

WRs need to learn how to maximize open space in zones and show their numbers, raise their arm to Dante so he is comfortable with making the throws then they truly are open.

We're young and our weaknesses have been obvious. Let's hope we really took advantage of the bye week and come out with some answers to these tough defenses.

We have built an offensive roster that is superior to theirs in the passing attack; with both teams loading the box, our difference can be through the passing attack, in particular with our veteran receivers, DAK, and Evan Stewart as a decoy at minimum. He will suck defensive attention to him to open up DAK, Bryant, Benson and the Beast.

This is the game to establish and remind everyone that better recruiting counts.

And for those who tremble about the weather? What did you expect in the Big-10 in November?

This is what we built our roster for...
