Bad Coaching

No, we did win going away. That's why we had an opportunity to play the 2nd team. They did not perform well.
I guess I don't see the problem with running clock in the second half when you are up by several possessions against a team who's offense hasn't really been successful. It became a two possession game when the backups on D allowed their offense to score quickly. I read a post where someone pointed out that Purdue was an onside kick and a score away from making it a one possession game. And it didn't happen. We suffered cosmetic damage in the box score. That's the risk when you play inexperienced guys.
No one can deny extra joy from a win for the fans like KF. Nobody.
I remember him frantically apologizing to this coach for a late game Beathard bootleg touchdown. Their coach saw this weakness coming and took advantage of it.

Okay dipshit, complain some more about an easy win because your sphincter needlessly tightened. Maybe post something folksy and insightful like "we've seen this movie before."
I'd agree, running the clock was the thing to do. The problem is that every coach in the nation knows we are going to do that... run the ball. They load the box, we still try to push it up the middle, get stuffed, have a 3rd and 9, run again, and punt it after running 2 minutes off the clock. getting a first down or two is the key, it seems like we rarely do that. sometimes mixing it up is a good thing if your goal is to actually get a couple first downs and actually run time off of the clock. I know you risk incomplete passes and stopping the clock, but good teams complete some passes too. I don't see KF taking that 'risk'.
IMO, the fans should have some responsibility for their enjoyment. A lot of our fans are determined to be miserable.
Hey retard, how about trying to find a single criticism I had of this win, shit-eating internet tough guy.
This is the same board who would have lost their minds if that starters stayed in the whole game and put up 60+, which they could have done today. I can hear it now. "How can you not play the backups in a game like this?". "Ferentz sucks! When in the hell are the backups going to get game experience?" " Ferentz is out of his mind leaving Beathard and co in a game like this!"
At this point, those who blindly defend Iowa aren't real Iowa fans. This team has problems on all levels, from coaches to players to the head of the AD himself. If you're a real fan, you need to swallow your pride and admit the faults of the program so we can become better.
If you don't well, you don't belong here. Because Iowa has some major major problems, specifically a 5 million dollar one.

Yes, the program is in shambles because message board posters aren't whining after a win.
Sadly, I remember this game... and I was very drunk. Chad Greenway and the rest of the Iowa players were celebrating on the sidelines before NW came back. If you were a coach at that time and you don't understand putting your foot on the opponent's neck, you never will.
You responded to me being incredulous over the complaints and criticisms. Wasn't much of a leap to assume you agreed with those people. It's not being an internet tough guy to call you a dipshit when you respond sarcastically to a comment that was obviously tongue in cheek. I can't help you read.
Of that, I have no doubt. I can't argue.
But let's face it, KF isn't the greatest facilitator to fan enjoyment at times. And it would take just the slightest tweaks to fix it. But he won't, lol.
I'm far more happy we won, than bummed KF denied the awesome blowout.
You need to calm down before you post. Clearly you've been drinking too much today. You need to sit this out.
Common sense would suggest that if something angers or annoys you as much as reading certain posts on a message board, then maybe it's best to take a break for a while. After lmao, I welcomed you to start educating us all on what you imply that you are so qualified to teach. Your response of choice was unrestrained angry BS.
Btw, it was an asinine leap of ignorance to assume that I agree with what people post just because I was urging you to not let the internet degrade your quality of life. And I was joking. I don't think you're tough. While I may not be as angry as you are, I did try to point out that maybe it was a little unnecessary to go full retard.
But you can't help people read? Well then that's at least one thing you aren't qualified to teach.

If that's what you got from my post, you may want to revisit grade school reading comprehension. Jesus the users here are so stupid lmao

Winning going away? LOL What the hell game were YOU watching, Mr. Convenient?
Iowa's offense was, I repeat, outscored 28-7 in the second half. If that's winning going away, well, there's no arguing with somebody's imagination.

Up 21-0 after 1st quarter, 35-7 at half...42-14 after 3rd quarter with 350+ rushing yards.....not overly worried.. winning on road in big ten is just fine by me. Anything can happen, Nebby lost here last year and almost lost to Indiana today. But hey, you just carry on negative Nancy
42-14 after 3rd quarter when starters were pulled, take a step off the ledge dude and relax. Big ten road win and dominated the game until 4th quarter, you know with our backups who got some valuable experience
Riddle me this. Iowa got beat by Tennessee in the 2014 bowl game 45-28. On the surface that score looks like a competitive game. We all know it wasn't. This board collectively knows Iowa got crushed.
Why doesn't the same definition apply here? This game today was NEVER IN DOUBT.

That was a beatdown and you're right. Apologies for being an ass to you.
Edit: I will stick up for my "educate" post. It was not sincere at the time and it doesn't appear to me to read as sincere now. I don't see how it can possibly read as arrogance.
I was factoring the context of the yards and points. That's not included in the box score. We beat Rutgers and Minnesota with 28 combined points. Poor offensive games for us which resulted in W's. We subbed our second string early in the 4th. We yanked them when they failed. They now have game experience and tape.Winning going away? LOL What the hell game were YOU watching, Mr. Convenient?

There is something about not sticking their nose in it. The subs got to play versus a teams number one group and run the base plays. it was a win don't read to much into it.
The Iowa game against Purdue. I was watching intently. Purdue never had a chance. It was a beatdown.Winning going away? LOL What the hell game were YOU watching, Mr. Convenient?

They dominated the first half. They tried to sneak out the back door in the second.
I agree. These dumb shit KF apologists are what sucks. Head in the sand and happy to get 7 wins. Never aspire for more. Why is it not ok to question strategy? These guys want you to suck up to KF no matter what.
I remember that game. Adam Shada had an interception that looked to seal the win but NW held us and scored the 14 points in the last 2 minutes. Worst loss till the fake punt Wisconsin game.
