Iowa currently has PFF's #1 rated pass blocker (Richman) and run blocker (Colby) in the B1G. Stephens is the #2 run blocker with no sample minimum (only has 6 plays). Problem is neither grades very highly in the other.

Part of what's so impressive about this Iowa defense is that they are not relying on turnovers like they usually do, so there is an even bigger need to get stops straight up, and they are succeeding. Iowa currently has its fewest TOs forced per game since at least 2008 (1.2).

Iowa doesn't play many games where they are this unlikely to win. I know it's not their style, but their path to winning is to use high risk strategies and hope they go your way. Increase the variance. When in doubt, go for it on 4th, take deep shots, etc.

2016 and 2017 Alabama both allowed 3.99 yards per play, but looking closer (more decimal places), 2022 Iowa allowed less than both. Iowa's 2022 defense allowed the least yards per play since 2012 Florida State (3.85).

Iowa's defense is almost certainly going to finish the season #1 in the country in yards per play at 3.99. They are the first team since 2017 Alabama to allow less than 4 yards per play in a full season.

In March, 43% of Iowa WBB's shots have been 3s. That's a high-risk strategy, which is usually what you need to pull big upsets. If they take a ton of 3s vs South Carolina, it increases the chances they lose by 20+, but it also increases the chances they win.

Iowa and Kentucky are not the same, but this is basically why fans of any team should be careful constantly demanding "the next level" (especially the last 1:30 or so). Ask Nebraska how its unrealistic expectations are going - and they even have the history.

Iowa's offensive SP+ since 2005. Clear 2 season trend, obviously, but note the overall trend. Does that look like an OC problem, or a program problem? The offense was showing improvement Brian's first few seasons - the most consistent improvement over the whole span.

The point here is that Iowa won the game on big plays, including a blocked FG and a pick six, which are smaller sample size events (and more prone to randomness). ISU was better in a more consistent way, but Iowa made the plays that mattered more (again).

Advanced analytics are great for a lot of things, but it doesn’t take into account the eye test. Once Iowa went up 17-0, they weren’t going to lose. They controlled pace, tempo and momentum in every phase for most of the game.

Torvik agrees. Adding Nelson would improve Iowa's defensive rating by about 27 spots and overall rating by about 10 spots in Torvik's projections for next season.
Man.. a guy like that could legitimately transcend the defense 25+ spots nationally. That’s what I really salivate over. The difference between having that guy as your defensive anchor and what it currently would be as-is

It wasn't ruled an actual fair catch, it was ruled an invalid fair catch signal, which I'm pretty sure is the correct call, if a weird and inconsistently called rule. I don't think the ref can be faulted here.

Referee Tim O'Dey, who called Cooper's 'fair catch', was also the line judge during last year's Iowa-Minnesota game when he called Jack Campbell out on his interception, which would have been a go-ahead touchdown in the final 2 minutes.

Iowa's offensive SP+ since 2005. Clear 2 season trend, obviously, but note the overall trend. Does that look like an OC problem, or a program problem? The offense was showing improvement Brian's first few seasons - the most consistent improvement over the whole span.

Wins and points per game are not the best indicators of offensive strength.

UPDATED SP+ RANKINGS * No. 1 actually remains the same for once * Texas > Georgia, eh? * SEC: best depth * Big Ten: best top 2 * Pac-12: best top 3 * Screw it, let's go ahead and break out the resume rankings (you're welcome, PSU)!

Five Factors Summary: Iowa was better in every area except for the long TD pass (they win YPP without it). As much as Iowa can make an analytical perspective look stupid in a good way, Nebraska keeps doing so in a bad way. Which I am totally fine with.

Iowa was dominated in rebounding, but won each of the other 3 factors: shooting, turnovers, and free throws.

To go with what Jon and @hawkeyegamefilm have been tweeting, here are some Iowa offensive line stats from 2018-2022 from @fboutsiders . These are not competition-adjusted, so probably not a bottom 10 FBS OL, but still a clear negative trend.

Kaleb Johnson averaged 5.4 yards per carry on 142 attempts behind an offensive line and part of an overall offense that was...challenged, to say the least. Pretty remarkable. Here are the Iowa RB's in the KF era who have had at least 142 carries and averaged at least 5ypc

Retweeted this a few days ago, but I want to add some commentary. - This illustrates how being >50% to win 10 individual games is not the same as being expected to go 10-2 - Iowa is likely to have a better offense than at least 1/3 of their schedule
