George Barnett

it let's see an lj yeah i agree with you because um you know and i was in four of their games they haven't hit a hundred yards you know and only and then three of them they've far exceeded him but the only one against a uh a p4 opponent was washington that they exceeded 100 yards so for the offensive line talk that we thought oh this team's going to be just as good as last year no it's not we're just calling it now no you're going to have to prove something and uh so yes all the pressure needs to be on this offensive line which where it should be anyway in this program it's build up front Go make it happen.

And George Barnett's done a really good job with this unit across the board.

But now's the time to make it shine.

And they're going up against a team that's pretty good against the run.

and They have those rotating offensive line.

I want to ask George Barnett about that sometime.

Would you ever consider line changes on the offensive line like UCLA does? It's an interesting philosophy.

I mean, Iowa obviously is never going to change like that, but it's working so far.

I talked to Pieper, you talked to Jones, right? So we've got a little bit of each.

The message coming from George Barnett with why the frustration maybe with the run game is don't hit the panic button, trust your fundamentals, keep improving.

Cade Pieper told me they weren't super happy with their, game blocking for a while last year, then it did kind of click in practice, he said.

And I think we probably saw that at Wisconsin coming out of the bye week.
