Is there really any legitimate school in Iowa that would consider entering the IIAC? Teams like Grand View would be nice but would they really give up scholarships to join? Half their roster is from Texas and I'm doubting they're coming up here just because they fell in love with the school. Scholarships are whats carrying NAIA teams that can't get as many in state recruits.

Had a conversation with my dad about the Dutch today and I came to a troubling conclusion. Central's defensive philosophy needs to change. How many teams in the IIAC run a wide open spread offense? I haven't been to a game in a few years but I remember Simpson, Coe, Dubuque, and Cornell run wide open offenses. I know that the Dutch have the athletes to hang with anyone but I fear that high octane offenses are simply going to present a problem with the 4-3 D that they run. I was never crazy about the Stack 33 but it had decent elements. As a disclaimer, I am not a coach or a coordinator but I just think that in this league, having another speedier player as opposed to a big body would increase the chances that we wouldn't see another near record setting day like we did today. Of course, I could be completely wrong and Coe was just firing on all cylinders......

The Dutch used to run a 3 man front with a stinger that could act as a 4th man down and that defense didnt last very long...still not the 33 Stack but it shows they have tried to use speed with the extra linebacker. Not to mention it was the gains on the ground up the gut in the second half that really gashed the Dutch so maybe a couple hogs in the middle may have been beneficial since pressure on boyle was lacking anyways.
