Get ready for Matt Robinson. Hopefully he can hold onto the ball under slick conditions.

I just read on 24/7 Dre Brown might come back next year, which is interesting, I wonder how it will impact our open scholarships.

Really? I'd love to see Dre return. But the old man is married; that's a major consideration.I just read on 24/7 Dre Brown might come back next year, which is interesting, I wonder how it will impact our open scholarships.

Dre's up, hoes down.If Dre is up for it, that would be great.
Lovie's not saying, as Lovie never does. I think I'm angrier about what Geno Stone did...and did so with impunity, pride even...than losing the game. It's tough for Peters to have had two concussions in one season. Not only does it affect his playing, he's also a student and there's that whole studying thing.How is Peters?
I cannot believe this wasn't called ANYTHING! Not even late hit or personal foul, then you add in the obvious head to head...damn.Lovie's not saying, as Lovie never does.

I think that Robinson will be ready to go. I really want to pound the Mildcats. Their fanbase deserves it.
If you are so insistent upon that then, also find a way to get 40 passes. We often run more than WI. We were not successful with our offense until we started throwing the ball downfield.Find a way to get 40+ rushes and 200+ rushing yards.

Let's just say I have a reduced confidence in Matt Robinson throwing the ball.
None of the announcers or the officials themselves could offer a rationale for why the hit was not a penalty. Rather odd.I cannot believe this wasn't called ANYTHING! Not even late hit or personal foul, then you add in the obvious head to head...damn.
Borrowing from another thread, perhaps the band should have played "Three Blind Mice?"None of the announcers or the officials themselves could offer a rationale for why the hit was not a penalty. Rather odd.
Thanks Dan. One could argue the helmet contact was more of a glancing hit rather than straight on BUT we need to err on the side of protecting the QB. Had to be a penalty of some sort. As a no call you’re encouraging it.

Right - most certainly not a clean play. Hope Brandon is ok!NCAA rules on targeting, especially in this case, would seem to create a conflict. But absolutely agree if it wasn't targeting it was unnecessary roughness, roughing the passer, or unsportsmanlike conduct. With regards to targeting and the NCAA rule (relevant sections pasted below), on one hand you could argue that while the Iowa player did not deliberately "take aim at" Peter's helmet, he definitely made "forcible contact that went beyond legally playing the ball". Peters was clearly a defenseless player per the definition. "When in question it is a foul." "the NCAA errs on the side of safety".
"Targeting does not solely occur when players initiate helmet-to-helmet contact. It's defined as occurring when a player "takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball."
"Defenseless players can be defined as any of the following, but not limited to:
- a player in the act of or just after throwing a pass."
"Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player (Rule 9-1-4)
It is worth noting that the reason both rules are enacted when a play is in question because the NCAA errs on the side of safety."
- No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting. When in question, it is a foul.
