Is it just me or does the fifth version of the disappointing Husky veteran OL look like a bunch of players whose bodies and skill don't match their positions - for example starting a 6'8 330 guard and a 6'3 tackle. Leaning on my expert OL coaching experience, it seems like a problem, but am I'm wrong? I'm sure I'm wrong, right?

    Iowa has been running out of I formation, not saying it’s exactly working great, but has lineman that look like they don’t take any shit and want to play some fucking football. We have Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

    Iowa's offense shouldn't be the high watermark for anything

    They just beat Penn State.

    The week prior I watched them run a FB into a 10 man box and score. They also use their TEs.

    Yeah I know everybody else wants some version of the spread RPO or the air raid but I kinda like watching an offense that can exert their will on a good defense.

    When is the last time UWs O exerted its will on a top 10 team?

    This. I don’t care what you run as long as it is effective.

    This OL is supposed to have the size to road grade defenses in man running game but I'm not sure they have the strength to do it against better teams. Maybe they tried more zone schemes during the bye.

    It's kinda driving me crazy because something is off with the OL but it's difficult to pin-point and some of it is due to John Don's overall scheme.

    They don’t have the strength to do it vs inferior teams. They are just bad all around.
