I thought it was unnecessary of them to go for it on 4th and 1 too. Sorry I missed the beginning of your guys’ conversation

I don't like it, but I certainly understand the thinking and don't think it was bush league at all
I just don't have anything against going for it on 4th and 1 up 37 if they felt they could get it. It's freaking football, stop them.. We can agree to disagree
Necessary to win the game? No, but their coaches/players have a right to use that situation however they choose. Wish our coaches would use game opportunities to work on some things
Not second rate, just a different way of doing it than I would have done
I hope a reporter asks BF "what was the upside of putting AP in?"
You must be becuse Padilla’s QBR was actually lower than Petras.
Yeah I must be because Petras turned the ball over three times inside his own 35 yard line. But QBR…….. good lord our fan base is as bad as the OC.
I’m sorry that you’re not intelligent enough to understand what QBR means and how it’s used to evaluate QB’s. They’re both not worthy of a D1 scholarship.
No, you’re right. Petras’ two picks, both thrown directly to the numbers of the OSU defenders, and his fumble was the better play because the QBR says so.
The pick six didn’t have an Iowa receiver within 7 yards of the play.
Well I guess you’ll be back on Monday to comment about how great of a taek you usually have
Buckeye fan here with a few observations, not that my $.02 has any importance whatsoever.
-Iowa's defense is legit and frustrating to play against. They are rarely if ever out of position and if they happen to be out, it's only about a yard or so. Just so fundamentally sound. Your DC is worth every penny and deserves whatever salary the university can muster.
-OSU's offense was clearly frustrated and rattled throughout the entire first half. Some of that could have been rust but I think it's because they got punched right in the face and couldn't deal with it right away. Ryan Day preaches toughness but I have yet to see OSU truly exhibit real toughness. A tough team would have been able to score TD's with the running game instead of settling for FG's. Frankly, Iowa's D was tougher than OSU's offense.
-Giving up a ton of points is nothing to complain about. Stroud (when healthy, locked in, and with time to throw) is probably the most accurate passer I have ever seen at any level. Add the fact that Harrison is NFL ready right now and probably would be a top 10 NFL receiver if he were in the league, Egbuka will be a 1st round pick, and Fleming will also play on Sunday, so expecting to hold OSU under 30 points is a really tall task. Many of Stroud's completions and touchdowns were perfectly defended but the receivers act like they're in Cirque Du Soleil and make impossible grabs. Sometimes there really is nothing that can be done.
-Petras. Woof. I don't like to rag on kids living their dream but he is just not a DI quarterback. From what I could tell, the route trees are pretty basic and don't require a ton of sight adjustments. Granted, I was just watching the TV broadcast so I wasn't seeing the whole field, but he just isn't accurate enough. On the two interceptions it looked to me that he (Petras) was locked in on one guy and was going to throw that way regardless of what color jersey was in front of him.
-I don't think it's time yet for Ferentz to hang it up. Ferentz has been a pillar in the CFB community and brings instant respect to the Iowa program. A coach like that is rare and he has earned the right to 'retire' on his own terms. However, he really needs to bring in a different offensive coordinator. IMO, the Hawkeye's are hampered with Petras (nice kid but not a good QB at all) and Padilla. I can see what the offense is trying to do, but for that scheme to be effective it really needs to have a QB capable of checking to his 2nd and 3rd reads because the 1st one will frequently be bracketed. Then delivering the ball on time and on target. Honestly, even with better QB play I'm not sure the scheme would be capable of generating a ton of points.
-It has to be frustrating to see the defense pitch gems and have the offense incapable of scoring. In OSU's case it was the opposite the last two years. Great offense but the defense was a clown show. And that is an insult to clown shows everywhere. For Iowa, get the right OC, keep the current DC, and watch what happens. It doesn't take long to turn a program around with the portal. There are QB's out there who have to know they could start right away at Iowa.

I agree, Kirk, is in the same position that Ryan was last year... Ryan had a great O, with a terrible D... It is reverse for Iowa... Kirk needs to do exactly what Ryan Day did thisi year, go out and get a HC of the O, and pay him 2 mil. There is no excuse for Iowa not to spend the money on an elite OC, considering Kirk is not an O guy, just like Ryan is not a D guy... I think Kirk knows OLine but he doesn't seem to understand OC position or at least doesnt appear since Iowa Os have been terrible under him not every year, but they should never be this bad under a O coach...
I hope the Bucks take down everyone here on out and win the NATTY… by far the best team in the country bar none
