Title: 2026 Iowa Off-season Thread
Post by: Hawkinole on December 23, 2025, 12:51:35 AM
The Iowa offensive line which has mostly tested best all season long -- I don't understand the metrics, won the Joe Moore Award, for the second time, since the award was established in 2015.

While I agree with the outcome, because these guys are really great, I don't understand why the skilled positions are not popping out at Iowa since they have such easy going behind a great offensive line.

yes, my question is how does the offense struggle with the best Oline in the country?

well, that's your question

I can understand the passing game if the QB and WRs aren't good, but,........ the running game should be putting up very good numbers and points

I have a related question.

How can Iowa have the 2nd most players in the Pro Bowl this year and not one conference championship  since 2005?

Georgia has the most pro bowl players with 6.  Iowa is tied for 2nd  most with 5 players.
