        Re: News & Notes

        Hell of a way to start this new chapter off. As expect, UMASS was no match for Iowa. Nigel Atkinson put himself on the map right away with that performance. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep up that type of production as the competition level increases.

        On another note - love the layout switch with the new team. Newspaper style, not that is some dynasty reporting originality. You never stop with the innovations. Great stuff man!

            Around the NCAA: Week 4







            Lawson sets two records on the same day



            Eric Lawson already owned the single game records for passing touchdowns in a
            game (8) and passing touchdowns in a season (34). It was still surprising, however,
            when he managed to break the team record for passing touchdowns in a career and
            passing yards in a career in the same game. Lawson now has 11,128 passing yards
            with the record gained on an indistinct screen pass for five yards. His final pass of
            the game gave him 93 touchdowns for his career and the Idaho record in that
            category as well. Lawson passed John Friesz for both records.

            The only two records Lawson does not own are for passing yards in a game (637)
            and passing yards in a season. The latter is a good bet to go down this year if
            Lawsons stays healthy, but the latter is less likely to happen. Idaho would have to
            be engaged in a major shootout for that to be possible.

            Speaking of a game - there wasn't much of one this week as the Vandals pounded
            Air Force, 49-7. Air Force simply could not get anything going on offense. They had
            five first downs the entire game, including none in the first half. They managed 119
            yards total offense in a loss that is difficult even for a lower tier team like Air Force.

              Around the NCAA: Week 5



              Georgia beats #20 Kentucky, 2-1 and ranked #8 as Iowa comes to town

              Senior QB Carlos Boone threw for 150 yards and ran for another 122 yards while
              totaling four touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to a close win on the road against a
              ranked Kentucky squad. UGA is at full strength as the Hawkeyes make their way
              down south for their week 5 showdown in Athens.

                Re: Around the NCAA: Week 5

                Solid 2-0 for coach Clark and the gang. Going to be a real test to see how you guys handle a tough road game in Athens. Love the weekly recap bro, I think I might have to do something similar in my Hawaii dynasty. I love the detail you use to recap what's going on around the conference.

                  Thanks! It's been sort of a hassle. I've been using Word on almost a daily basis for years, and there are still some things about it that I'll never understand, the formatting is a bear but I think I have it semi figured out to where a report can at least be written quickly. But yeah. I hate Word! lol

                  I agree, a test I cannot wait for. Thanks for the kind words about the Recap. It's something I have a love/hate relationship with, sometimes don't feel like doing it. Almost never mess with it until the quarter mark and then try and be pretty consistent with it. I really like to keep track of happenings in the conference, felt that was a fun thing about the Mountain West was how other teams stepped up and gave us games / losses / great storylines. It was just luck but made it a lot of fun.




                  Notes by Rudy Weiland, Cedar Rapids Gazette


                  QB Darrell White suffers season ending knee injury; Eddie Allen activated

                  The Hawkeyes had a starter, a backup, and two redshirts at the quarterback
                  position. That changed when backup White went down with a knee injury in practice
                  this week. The injury is serious and White will miss the remainder of the season.
                  Rather than going into the game with only one eligible QB suited up, Clark has taken
                  the redshirt off freshman Eddie Allen, a talented athlete turned QB. This is an
                  interesting scenario because starter Masin Barnes will have to continue to play quite
                  well, now that a player deemed better all-around - according to some of the
                  coaches - is right on his heels.

                  Two other players were hurt and will miss this week's game, bringing the total injury
                  list to four players hurt going into the UGA game.

                  Position - Player - Injury - length - Return Week
                  OLB - Michael Tyson - Ankle Structural - 7 Weeks - 9
                  SS - Spencer Cooper - Shoulder - 1 Week - 6
                  QB - Darrell White - Knee - Season - Season
                  WR - Shawn Ball - Knee - 5 Weeks - 10

                    This is pretty wow to me. I've always been a big lurker of other dynasties but for some reason never started this one until the other day. Read through the whole thing from Wednesday until now. Love it. Appreciate your transparency.

                      Thanks so much Bigsheen. It's humbling that anyone would take their time to look over something like this and very much appreciated. Take it easy man.

                        Nice win over Georgia, looks like Minnesota/Iowa could be a high scoring game.

                          Seems like the coach Clark and Iowa pairing is a perfect match. Solid start to the year and what an impressive win!

                            Around the NCAA - Week 6



                            Top teams are losing right and left

                            The top 10 is littered with two loss teams just a few weeks into the season as it
                            appearse the pollsters need to see more to move these teams down. Teams that
                            play in less prestigious conferences or lost to lesser ranked teams are feeling the
                            pain. #7 USC stunned by Cal in overtime and fell to #19. Certainly, Georgia's loss at
                            home to Iowa was as surprising as any game on the slate.

                              Week 6 pregame report



                              Notes by Rudy Weiland, Cedar Rapids Gazette


                              Rooney's Hamstring injury serious - Out for the year

                              Starting outside linebacker Josh Rooney suffered a torn hamstring during the last
                              game and will have to miss the rest of the season. The Hawkeyes have some
                              depth at linebacker but it is now being tested, with Michael Tyson already on the
                              shelf with badly sprained high ankle. The good news for the Hawkeyes is that
                              Tyson has been working very hard and is on pace to return sooner than initially
                              anticipated. It was thought he would not return until Week 9, but may be able to
                              return by next week. However, for this week the team will be extremely thin at
                              linebacker.

                              Senior Jonathan Johnson will step into the role at outside linebacker that was
                              occupied by Rooney. Clayton Kemp is already filling in for Tyson. Redshirt freshman
                              D.J. Shroeder backs both of them up.


                              Anderson expected to be out five weeks

                              Starting LE Terry Anderson suffered a broken collarbone while making a tackle in the
                              end zone against Georgia. He is expected to miss the next five weeks as the break
                              is relatively small, and expected to heal quickly.

                              J.D. Clark's son Dane being recruited by Idaho, Boise State

                              When his dad moved to Iowa to coach the Hawkeyes, Dane Clark had a difficult
                              decision to make. Transfer to a local high school in Iowa and compete for playing
                              time with a group of coaches who knew nothing about him, or move to Lewiston, ID
                              where family members lived, and be the starting QB for the local high school team,
                              the Bengals. Clark had a good repoire with the coaches after having played them in
                              league games previously and decided to spend his senior year of high school away
                              from his family.

                              "I knew all along I wasn't going to play football for my dad, we had a lot of talks
                              about that and did not feel it would be right. So I moved up the schedule on moving
                              out. I live with family here and am concentrating on getting great grades so I can
                              go to whichever school I want to," said Clark.

                              According to J.D. Clark: "I don't believe in that form of nepotism. If I had a small
                              business and employed my son with the possibility he would one day run the
                              company, I don't think that's a big deal. This is something where the QB competition
                              affects many people. It affects the people rooting for the team, the players on the
                              team and many other things. We just didn't think it would be right."

                              Clark is a dynamic, dual threat QB with an average arm and accuracy who is quicker
                              than he is fast, but nevertheless can be a threat to take it to the distance once in
                              awhile. The biggest negative may be his height. He's listed at 5'11" but may be an
                              inch shorter. Regardless, he is a 4-star prospect who may have gained more
                              attention than noramal due to being related to a successful coach. Both Idaho and
                              Boise State are recruiting him, along with BYU.

                              "Mom is pushing for BYU, dad is pushing for the Vandals, and I'm open minded but
                              really like the idea of playing for Boise State," said Clark. "It's going to be a difficult
                              decision."

                              Other teams that were at the top of his own "wish list" did not recruit him, including
                              Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

                              "I would have liked to play in the Pac-12 but it doesn't look like that is going to work
                              itself out," said Dane Clark.

                              Vandals run wild over rival WSU, 38-14

                              The Idaho Vandals defense is playing as well for new coach Bobby Petrino as it ever
                              did for Coach Clark. Despite once again having to face an air assault throughout
                              the contest (3 runs by WSU) they shut out the Cougars in the first half and
                              controlled the action throughout.

                              Eric Lawson was a surgeon, completing 22 of 30 for 307 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT on the
                              day. Albert Hidalgo added 133 rushing yards on 35 carries as the Vandals have been
                              consistent at about a 50/50 run to pass ratio under Petrino and his son, offensive
                              coordinator Nick Petrino. At times, the team became pass happy under Clark with
                              the development of Lawson. However, throwing fewer passes has resulted in better
                              efficiency, and Lawson (191.6 rating) is one of the most efficient passers in the
                              nation this season. He has 1593 yards and 23 TD with 2 INT, completing 70% of his
                              throws.

                                I love the added storyline of Dane Clark. It will be really exciting and interesting to see how that manifests itself throughout this dynasty! Loving this as always!
