No J Brohm and no R Moore? Hope Brian Brohm and Marcellus Moore are up to the challenge of replacing them...

Last year David Bell went off for somewhere around 200 yards. That offense tears up Iowa's defense regardless who is on the outside. Losing Moore will hurt like a stubbed toe but someone will pick up the yards.

It's going to be interesting. Apparently Jackson Anthrop is also out, and he was the reliable slot receiver prior to Moore. Nowhere near as talented or as flashy, but could get open and catch the ball from the slot. I think Amad Anderson has been working in the slot a lot, and he's a really good receiver, so I do think we'll be okay there. And with Bell and Milton Wright on the outside, with the possible addition of Maliq Carr as a big-body guy who is a matchup nightmare, I don't think I'll say our WR corps is anything but stellar. But with Rondale Moore included? We're talking supernova.

I mentioned Marcellus Moore, and he's an interesting player who may make a name for himself. But he's basically wood sprite sized, and a true freshman. He's a BLAZING fast player, and he could very well be put into service as KR/PR, but I think he's too young to be pushed into service at the WR position. I could see them trying to put him on the field a few plays of offense for jet sweeps and/or reverses though. With his speed if he's in the open field he'll be hard to catch. But he doesn't have Rondale's strength, so if you DO get a hand on him, he's probably going to the ground.

I think it will be more interesting to see how Brian Brohm calls the game.

I'm interested in the Hawk's new QB.  I always expect Ferentz to call a conservative game, but more so with an inexperienced QB

Agree with everything BWar said, and would like to add that I believe Amad Anderson is the most underrated WR in the B1G.

He's got everything you'd want in a good WR.  He knows how to find the openings in the field, he attacks the ball, he has excellent hands, good body position, and great balance.

I'm actually surprised he hasn't transferred elsewhere to become a #1 or #2.

I like Anderson. I like Wright more.

Aidan O'Connell seems to pick his receiver before the ball is snapped.

These holding non-calls have gone from annoying to infuriating to laughable.
