On paper, I thought we looked better and should cover. I did not expect to cover like that though. Damn
Did you “honestly” expect this epic beatdown?

X can’t tackle on an average play. He had some embarrassing series today.
I'm not sure about that one. I thought we struggled in the 1st and 3rd quarter.
It really wasn’t a beat-down if you watched the game. Iowa was able to take advantage of some great field position and Washington mistakes. It was a nice Hawkeye win however!
They nailed it! Only missed the spread by 20+ points.
That isn’t turning out like we all thought… granted… I thought they were unbeatable and I don’t think Oregon is that great either as they will probably drop a game or 2 MAYBE this year ….
I do indeed.
“Vegas knows” is a pet peeve of mine. People just seem to love to say it, even when it doesn’t seem to apply. Like when you used it earlier.
The line didn’t move much, so they set it about right to get even betting. The line moved what, one point? Vegas did what Vegas does, but this line was in line with what bettors felt was a good line.
I guess I don’t understand why this was example “Vegas know.” Yes, Vegas knew, and so did everybody else.
That line was set to get people to bet Washington. My point is they had a pretty good idea that Iowa was going to win this game. The average better would look at that line and see a team who just beat Michigan playing a team who got waxed the week before...getting points.
I was expecting something about a bad as the Ohio State beatdown, but maybe I am too muchof a pessimist (will have to ask my doctor next time)
good game all around. that tailback Washington has is STUD. probably as good (maybe better) than our Kaleb.
Yah but we played AT osu. Oregon is losing by atleast two tds there
Nope, thought it would be close and we would struggle. Happy to be wrong, happy the team played 4 full quarters.
There are no “great” college teams this year. 4 or 5 contenders but no one team stands out…..Texas, tOSU, Oregon, Georgia… and ? Someone is gonna catch fire but there’s no “great” one this year.
Washington did NOT "miss a chip shot field goal". It was blocked by YA Black, so another solid play by Iowa's D/ST. They went for it fourth and short 3 times and we stopped them all three times, which is rare for any team, so again as much good play by Iowa as it was Poor play by Washington.
I mean cmon. We played great yesterday but one has nothing to do with the other. They basically lost their entire team from last year plus their coaching staff. Best effort from us for 4 quarters in many years, no matter the opponent. It’s looking like Oregon right now is going to win the league in their first year in. I’m enjoying the Hell out of these cross country games, both USC and Penn St plus Oregon and Ohio St were incredible games. And the Hawks were physically dominant yesterday. Loved it.
Are you kidding! 40 pts that's surreal for this program. Thought would get a nice win, 21-17, type of semi-borefeast since Huskies coming all the way back east and had huge win the week before and frankly, they are not very good. But they can complete passes and we still saw Hawks cannot cover anyone. Now on to Sparty what a schedule. Enjoy while you can.
What was very obvious is the Hawks were way more physical and it wore out Washington. Dinardo mentioned that in training camp tour that he didn't feel like Washington would be physical enough against the Big Ten's most physical teams.
That last QB Washington had in is their QB of the future. He is tiny for a QB and he is gonna get killed in this league.
