Iowa's starting running back (actually a walk-on converted fullback) is out for this week's game against Penn State. That leaves..

True freshman Greg Garmon as the starter!! His backup being Jordan Canzeri who - wait for it - has not played a down sing tearing his ACL during spring ball.
Ouch
Blasphemer! As long as Iowa
Blasphemer! As long as Iowa continues to defy AIRBHG by lining players up behind the QB AIRBHG will never be finished with Iowa.

I find it more fascinating at this point than hilarious. Not that I'm crying tears for Iowa. After the last couple years and especially the end of last year's game, I hope we beat the crap out of them when they come to the big house in November.
Go Blue! Always!
Well said...
still, it is always unfortunate to see a college student get injured, especially someone who has worked their tail off the last few weeks

If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
true
One of the BHGP commenters pointed out that Ferentz runs depth charts as if the game were that day. So, it is possible Weisman will return if he has a great week.

It truly is amazing. Its so common at this point that Iowa fans will keel over in the thousands if their starting RB after spring ball ever plays a down. I hate to make fun because the karma's gonna get us . . .

They should recruit 10 RBs
They should recruit 10 RBs and just sacrifice half of them to AIRBHG at the start of fall camp.

AIRBHG's appetite is
AIRBHG's appetite is insatiable. Bring him 10 RB recruit and he'll demand 20 in sacrifice.
So how would that affect their scholarships numbers?
I would presume the scholarship is released upon death, but if the death is due to sacrifice? Or are you thinking they would just over sign and bloody the altar until AIRBHG is sated? I hear that is what Saban does, but we all know its not AIRBHG that he calls upon…

He and AIRBHG have actually
He and AIRBHG have actually worked out an agreement: in return for his regular sacrifice of tailbacks, Iowa's running game never actually gets any worse. Note that the walk-on converted fullback just rushed for 116 yards against Sparty.
And yet, despite all this
Iowa 19, Michigan State 16.

For the record
He's not necessarily out. He's just not currently on the depth chart.
Lloyds of London
Is it mere coincidence that Lloyds of London has ceased writing policies for "athletically-inclined Iowans who may receive American-style footballs while lined up 5-7 yards behind the Quarterbacking position1,2?"
1In the so-called "shotgun" American football formations, the distance between said athletically-inclined Iowan and the Quarterbacking position is minimized and is still subject to policy termination.
2The "pistol" formation is currently exempt, but will receive further scrutiny if employed in offensive sets by the University of Iowa American Football team.
This is incredible. Pretty
This is incredible. Pretty soon the hysteria and fear will be such in Iowa City that they'll be looking to sacrifice virgins to appease AIRBHG. Where they will find virgins on U of I's campus is beyond me.

Alternatively, in an attempt to ward off AIRBHG, the tailgates outside Kinnick Stadium will begin to resemble Druid rituals. For example, this could very well be the Des Moines Alumni tailgate conducting the pre-game chant...

Iowa's RBs truly are a damned lot. At least they seem to be embracing it at Black Heart Gold Pants, and they're throwing a party for AIRBHG (link here). Although the AIRBHG piñata might be seen as blasphemous in the eyes of the vengful diety.

I am comforted by the fact the we have LBs and DBs coming in all of whom moonlight at RB... and we even have a couple of actual RBs coming in too... just in case AIRBHG takes his talents east.

Saw the guy limping on the sidlines after his touchdown to tie it up in 4th quarter. I understand he's not listed on the Depth Chart and won't be surprised if he doesn't play against Penn St. Saturday night, but I also won't be surprised if the guy is starting; he seems like a tough SOB and if he's able to overcome this, he'll be on the field.

They need to go out and recruit Iowa Robot (Michigan Robot's cousin). Although, I hear he's yet to earn that coveted 6th star from Rivals . . .

If Garmon gets dinged and the back-up coming off an ACL can't do it, I wonder what they do during a game? I'm guessing they pull a young DB off the defesnse, since they don't seem like they can run an empty backfield all game long. Incredible.

Is every program in the country not named Iowa doing something different with injury prevention? Perhaps Iowa can hire someone who can work with strengthening ankles and knees for their players...

Iowa needs to stop listing people as "RBs"
They must only have QBs, WRs, and FBs in the backfield. Weisman is back to being a FB now. Garmon is a QB. Perhaps then, the AIRBHG will be confused and will not smite them
AIRBGH LATEST COMMAND
AIRBGH 2
I couldn't decide which way was funnier (if either). So here for upvoting or negging is an alternate.
