Minnesota 2025 has the most boom or bust defense I've ever seen -
* 1/3 of drives killed by a sack/TFL
* 1/3 allow a TD on a super-explosive
* Near zero methodical drives
Each category 15+ % pts off FBS norms. A matched pair of examples from every game: youtu.be/KuAq4BklL5Y

11.11.2025 15:02 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 03/3 ... grumbling about the weather and the officials and 'where did that last-minute drive from Iowa come from?' That's the game Iowa *expects* to play and OC Stein indulged them by refraining from explosives, which is what DC Parker actually fears.
10.11.2025 15:43 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 02/3 Iowa as many as UO, so the weather and limited receiving options are just excuses for equally poor strategy from both OCs.
A hundred teams have left Kinnick with a loss after driving the field, congratulating themselves on rush conversions then fouling up in the redzone ...
1/3 I'm glad Oregon pulled it off, but their strategy vs Iowa was unnecessarily high risk. They wrestled the pig, forgoing at least 7 short-yardage opportunities for explosives in favor of methodical conversions. Both teams combined for 8 explosive passes ...

Adam and Aaron teamed up on this week's Quack 12 podcast to take me on ... how did it go last time? Well the segment has been renamed hythlopicks aka pickloday aka Pac-12 Pick'em Presented by ATQ for the last month:

Iowa's called passing plays by target, with QB scrambles/discards as a side-by-side category - comparing share vs effectiveness over baseline.
It's quite unique to see this graph look like an X, a team has to almost be trying to mismatch this perfectly:

"Looking like 3-deep zone, and the backside corner passes it to air.
Air ... can't defend that."

14.10.2025 15:20 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Fans tend to say that this happens on every RPO; it doesn't, timing is usually too fast because the key moment is when the ball leaves the QB's hand. Other fans argue that IDP should be overlooked when it's just a technicality, but here's it's obvious the bind the defense is in.
13.10.2025 20:36 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The QB changing the play from a behind-the-line toss to the TE into a downfield throw to the WR makes it illegal, the delay has the run-blocking OL get over 3 yards downfield. Officials need to catch this, it materially affects the defense.
