IOWA DEFENSE best CFB last 50 years???

[DrunkHorseplayer]

1994 Washington St. defense, the Palouse Posse, gave up 136 pts. in 12 games; tough to beat that.

to reiterate how not that good the corn boys really are, ibrahim has been kind a very good runner in his career has rushed for over 4,000 yards has had 24 games where he has rushed for over 100 yards, but today's 263 yards are the most he's ever rushed for in a game. imagine that, a "great" all time top 10 defense gives you your career high only in clown world

One of the best defenses in L30 years was Miami FL 2002. Led by Ed Reed, top playmaking safety.

DEF PPG was low. More importantly, they created a ton of turnovers. So their defense was setting up points, too.

Was that the year they took on Ohio State at the end of the year??? I believe they were -11 or -12 point favorites... and lost?

Shot, I apologize. I was off one year. I meant to list 2001 Canes, who played the Bowl game in 2002:

...Their DEF PPG was low. They forced 4.1 turnovers per game, so the offense was always on short fields. And they obliterated Nebraska in the title game.

2002 Canes again played in title game in Jan 2003. Played against Ohio St, as you reference. -14, lost in OT on questionable Interference call.

Iowa defense SUCKS

There are so many ridiculous threads started on this forum.....I have never seen so many. Unbelievable. Posters putting up threads stating a 24 point under dog is going to win outright.....etc. etc., etc. Johnny Vegas.....dude MIGHT hit one out of 15 and everyone bows down to him and calls him the king when he does... LOL!! What kind of gamblers are on this forum??

Ferentz fired end of year

[RM Logic]

Ferentz fired end of year

He is always B1G ten coach of the year, Won it like 3 times over Urban Meyer when he was at OSU.
He can lose 10 games like Fitzgerald at NW and evryone still thinks he is great.

Ferentz fired end of year

If you’re referring to Brian Ferentz he damn well should be.

[jjgold]

Iowa poorly coached period

Haha-ha, very true. Dave Cokin had a great line during the brutal NFL game where Colts beat the Broncos, 12-9 in overtime:

"Kirk Ferentz thinks this is the most exciting game he's ever seen."

And how many Ferentz are there? One guy on the Pats Off Line, they're everywhere.
