Do we see anything different on Saturday?

[BubsFinn]

Yes, Brian is still the OC, but now he has to think about landing a job in a couple months. The damage has been done to his career, but eventually he'll have to do something to repair it. He has four, maybe five more games as a Power 5 OC to begin that process. I guess a better question might be, will Kirk let him?

 

[yiana]

Yea looks for CDJ at wildcat. Tory will also get a few passes in

 

[mvhomerl]

Anything above 10-12 points would be different!

 

[ICWestfan]

If Hill starts it will be more of the same. If Labas starts you'll see a bunch of different stuff. Stuff like completed passes and QB runs.

A lot of us won't know as we wont be strong armed into the pisscock fiasco.
I'm not a prude but I won't be forced into having to deal with someone else's cock.
B1G really dropped the ball again on this one. Maybe B1G corporate just loves cock?

[Arbor1]

NW defense will help and KF will snark afterwards.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

A completed pass? Hill knocks out one of the manual scoreboard numbers with an errant pass? Two positive yardage plays in a row?

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Nope.

Same shit.

Deacon takes every snap.

Good post, not being sarcastic

Hope you are correct but Minnesota crap defense didn't help. Possibly the worst QB performance I have ever witnessed in Kinnick.
Play calling also crap.

Yeah, I dragged myself to a crappy bar for the Purdue game. It just wasn't worth it for the watered down drinks, greasy food, and terrible football. I suppose BTN will eventually air the 60 minute version and that will be enough.

Jesus H. It took me a while to figure out wtf you were talking about here…😁

 

[yrunvs]

See anything different? Nope, low scoring game that the Hawkeyes will probably win, as usual.

Labas and Laines have their bags packed

It's hard for me to catch the 60 minute games. I look for those games when I watch TV, I just don't have a lot of TV time a day.

 

[RLMHAWK]

Did they tell you that?

 

[hawkandroll]

I doubt it, but I would like to see what full "**** it, I'm gone either way" mode looks like for BF's play calling.

 

[drh1150]

Depending on your seats, you might see Lake Michigan.

 

[bumper52]

Won’t see anything different schematically, but I think we will be able to establish the running game. Might be a few new wrinkles due to the bye week.

 

[JRHawk2003]

I am going to laugh hard if they actually put up points.

I so wish KF would turn into Barry Switzer for a few games.

 

[bdcolt45er]

There's an argument that Iowa's best bet is to just play conservative and hope you win the turnover battle. But as a fan I really want them to try something. I'm at the point where I think I would prefer they try something and fail then continue with their current approach and it's a coin flip result.
Try Labas (not happening), Cooper package (not happening), wild cat, RPO. Give me something. Honestly if you paired a triple option with this defense and special teams I think it would be really effective. But that is too much to try and implement at this point.

That's always the game plan. That is why the soft weak puzzy schedule is made that way. Don't suck as much as the opponent. Good luck with that starting next year. 3-9 here we come!

Short answer: no.
Long answer: no.

 

[Mister Plow]

This is most likely what it will be. We did well running the ball vs Wiscy when they knew it was coming so maybe we'll be able to do the same. I really wish that we could see Labas or even Lainez and more than 100 yards of passing. Crazy I know.

 

[BHCrusader2010]

KF loses to another crappy team. Beth will be having another meeting with him. CANNED!

Are you already drunk?

I'm no fan of Peacock but I do appreciate the fact that our media rights deals give the B10, along with SEC, more resources than other conferences.

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

I actually think announcing Brian’s departure disincentivizes changes this year. I’m not suggesting they won’t try to score and be successful and go out with a bang for BF, just more likely to double down on the current scheme/calls to either prove it works OR to avoid any criticism for not trying it sooner. No upside (insert ironic joke here) in trying anything substantially different

Maybe some “let’s have fun” trick plays tho since there’s only a few games left for Brian to call them.

I don't believe an interim AD is going to spend $42 mil to fire Kirk.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I don't know if you guys recall this but a couple years ago, I think it was BF's first year.. they were playing Penn St and they broke out with all these trick plays and fake punts and it was nuts. still lost the game, but it was fun.

 

[ICHawk2440]

Labas and Laines have their bags packed

If Cade is back, and just had ACL surgery recently, someone will likely get some playing time next year… hill will suck the rest of year and while he may be back next year a new OC might be enough pull to keep Lainez another season. Hopefully he can be the backup to Cade next year or we get a transfer. If hill plays next year Kirk should be let go… and I’m a KF supporter for the most part…
And yes I agree Labas should not stay if he wants to play college football it

 

[Iron Doc]

In response to the original question:

Ain't no way we see anything new/constructive/effective.
Hades would freeze over first.

 

[jberesford]

Yea looks for CDJ at wildcat. Tory will also get a few passes in

The funny thing is I could actually see Biff doing some crazy shit like that out of some kind of scorched earth spite on his way out. A, 'you wanted it. Now you've got it', type thing. He throws us some of that backyard football for a change... But then it actually works and we see the best offensive outing in 4 years in his attempt to sabotage something. I want to see that so bad.

 

[curtisj157]

Anything above 10-12 points would be different!

Hell, a completed forward pass will be different.

IMO they will try some dumb trick/different plays at the absolutely wrong time to show fans it does not work. Other than that wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Hawkstate1]

Yes we will see two crappy offenses in a whole new crappy venue!

 

[jonesy5960]

Did they tell you that?

They told me too. Where were you?

 

[Incredible Hawk]

Break out the November playbook!!!!.......4-0 down the stretch baby!
