Kirk Ferentz sees Brandon Scherff as first-round draft pick

nfl.use(“nfl-video”, function (Y) (!supportsFlashVideo && !supportsHTML5)), srcId = “vid1″, srcNodeId = “#”+srcId, srcNode = Y.one(srcNodeId), width = Number(“615″), height = Number(“346″), vp, w, rsH, orH, updateSize; if(requireSizeAdjustment) updateSize = function() w = srcNode.get(‘offsetWidth’); vp.get(“boundingBox”).setStyles( width: w + ‘px’, height: Math.round(w*(9/16)) + ‘px’ ); ; width = srcNode.get(‘offsetWidth’); stature = Math.round(width*(9/16)); rsH = Y.on(“resize”, updateSize, window); orH = Y.on(“orientationchange”, updateSize, window); nfl.videoplayers = nfl.videoplayers );


Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz considers Hawkeyes offensive tackle Brandon Scherff compares favorably with a number of the top former Iowa linemen in the NFL, such as the Baltimore Ravens’ Marshal Yanda and former first-round picks Riley Reiff (Detroit Lions) and Bryan Bulaga (Green Bay Packers). And according to the Des Moines Register, Ferentz anticipates Scherff, a senior, to be a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, at the same time.


"It Is not about the combine items, although Brandon’s got freakish strength and explosion," Ferentz said. & quot;But lots of men can not take that to the field. Brandon’s got the power to do this, also. He is a rare man."


Uncommon enough to earn Big Ten Rimington-Rate Offensive Lineman of the Year honours with a vote of the league’s coaches. In a league known for road-grading offensive linemen, Scherff beat out the likes of Wisconsin’s Rob Havenstein, Michigan State centre Jack Allen and Ohio State guard Pat Elflein for the award.

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard rants against Big 12 officials

There’s plenty of frustration when it comes to the state of officiating in college football. It’s bad in the Big 12, Big Ten, SEC, ACC and, especially, the Pac-12.


Well, Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard is beyond fed up with the current state of affairs and decided to come out and say something about it after the Cyclones appeared to have yet another call go against them in a 37-20 road loss Saturday to Oklahoma State.



Late in the first half, Oklahoma State running back Desmond Roland was stopped short of the goal line on a run, according to the original call on the field. The officials went to the booth to review the play and overturned the decision, awarding the Cowboys a touchdown. However, it’s hard to say video of the play was conclusive enough to overturn the call.

Inside Slant: Dysfunction at Michigan extends beyond sideline

» Michigan’s Hoke atop hot-seat coaches list


One of the first questions Michigan president Mark Schlissel should be asking today is this: "How will we ever get this right from play to play in a Saturday instant when we can’t even get it right between Saturday and Monday?"


He should ask it while sifting through more failures in Michigan’s concussion protocol than can be easily counted. If the school’s admitted mishandlings of quarterback Shane Morris’ concussion were fumbles on a field, they could be strung together for an award-winning blooper clip.


Except that there’s not much humor in institutional dysfunction.
