*****OFFICIAL IOWA vs. Wisconsin Game Thread*****

[LetsGoHawks83]

The right move was to kick it deep with two timeouts. Otherwise your offense has to go 50 yards.

Not when we give up 7 yards a carry to J Taylor

 

[WestIAHawk]

With the season in the line, we rely on Stanley’s feet to tie it. Unreal.

Seems he is slow a foot...but he could have dived over both guys who went low..

No awareness at all of anything...

 

[BBHawk]

And here is why i hate the total stat argument

17-28, 208 YDS, 2 TD

Not too shabby. Anyone who watched knows differently

Doesn't meet your needs, I get it.

 

[O-townHawkstar]

Iowa football is full of money. Now they can help recruits legally.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

When Iowa made the FG and there was running into the kicker which would have made it 4th and 2 and they still took the points I turned it off.

No awareness at all of anyrhing...

Problem is...if we tie it, does Wisconsin have the same drive and game winning FG

 

[Im4Iowa]

And people piss and moan because Iowa won’t schedule “better” power 5 teams than ISU. Not going to get 7-8 wins doing that.

Oh so you thought Nate played well?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

well the good news is might get to see Iowa in bowl in tx!!

 

[Nipigu]

Meh. Wisconsin is a decent team and Iowa stayed with them.
Minnesota won solidly today.
Fortunately the game will be in Kinnick.

 

[KearneyBlackshirt]

Iowa is going to lose 3 games by 7, 5 and 2 points, all to ranked teams. The sky is not falling. 2 of those losses were on the road. I know it sucks right now, but these are not bad teams we are losing to.

We still have a shot at upsetting MN who will be a top 15 team. Beat IL and NE and there is no reason why all of us here shouldn’t find that acceptable.

Imagine Wisconsin saying the only loss to Iowa this decade was by 4 points so really it’s not a competition.

 

[unoHawkeye]

The d couldn't hold it. They are Iowa's strength. Game, set, match.

The D got gashed by the run all second half. You have to try to get the ball back. Worst case scenario, the other team gets the ball and you still need a stop

Swib...grounder..

Or kick a 25 yarder like a FG and run it down...

One connie player back deep..seems rest were at the line

Not overly impressed with Wisconsin. If our offense could play more than one quarter a freaking game

 

[BBHawk]

Oh so you thought Nate played well?

Who played better, Coan or Stanley?

He played well enough. Hecwas NOT the reason Iowa lost, nor was BF.

 

[Sett1997]

Here come the moral victory comments

Yip, makes me want to puke.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Exactly. EVERYONES up for an onside

Probably..

Goal is to win.

Unfortunately, we'll still have the same QB, OGs and OC.

 

[briggshawk]

I think we can put away the top ten defense talk. The Offense......well.....what can you say. Playing against soft coverage they look good. Otherwise, yuck....

I disagree. When Iowa decides to open it up which is what they did when they got behind 15, they can play offense. Unfortunately Iowa has a coaching staff that doesn't like doing that.

They gave him good protection on that play. They also only brought 3 guys on the rush. Everyone knows all you have to do is stop the run and then bring late pressure and you can stop the Hawks. I think those scores are a result of soft coverage.

ARE YOU FING DRUNK?!

Minny did not win solid. The Ref's lost solid

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Dang Stanley needed to dive on that freaking 2 point.

Makes me sick

 

[grayhair81]

Is it ok to criticize Parker?

Banning offense. Defense is elite.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Illinois wins their 4th straight. Wins over MSU and Wisky.

 

[Nipigu]

They beat PSU. No questioning it.

 

[WestIAHawk]

Dont leave our LBs and LBs coach out of it...

 

[jonesyhawk982]

Their going to beat us in Kinnick.

Illinois wins their 4th straight. Wins over MSU and Wisky.

 

[MitchLL]

Not when we give up 7 yards a carry to J Taylor

Without knowing all the finer points of this defense... it sure seems the linebackers can't plug a gap when the tackles get moved.

 

[urmomsboyfriend]

I think you made the point... We want to expose the truth. Not cover it up. Which is what GB is doing

 

[KearneyBlackshirt]

Why was Illinois able to stop Taylor but Iowa couldn’t

 

[WestIAHawk]

Why was Illinois able to stop Taylor but Iowa couldn’t

Taylor had a bad day?

7-8 wins against shit teams. It’s a yearly thing and many are happy with it. Thinking Barta and all his buddies at the university don’t want to give up that free vacation at the end of the season.

I disagree

 

[grayhair81]

If Iowa got a three-and-out, they probably would get the ball around their own 30. They would still have had to go 40 yards to get in FG range.
It was a no-win situation. I don't remember Iowa recovering an onside kick. But they weren't getring a three-and-out either.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Why was Illinois able to stop Taylor but Iowa couldn’t

You suck at trolling.

 

[WestIAHawk]

Why was Illinois able to stop Taylor but Iowa couldn’t

I was implying if hes going to bring up units that stunk it up and we'll still have them next week...our suckass LBs should be brought up also..

 

[VodkaSam]

And people piss and moan because Iowa won’t schedule “better” power 5 teams than ISU. Not going to get 7-8 wins doing that.

Or Kirk’s $$$$ Bonus in his contract for getting 8 wins in a season. Must keep the Middle Tennessee States and Miami of Ohio’s.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Their going to beat us in Kinnick.

Possible but I highly doubt it.
