First play from scrimmage in 2018

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

I say up the gut for 2 yards.. what I wish for is a 80 yard dance to the end zone from IKM or T Young OR Sargent .. or even better yet Nate Stanley improved his speed over the summer to sub 4.3 40 yard dash and fakes everyone out and jets into the end zone

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Fake punt.

 

[Hawkdome]

Off tackle by toren for five yards.

 

[hawkquiz]

2 tight end set, fake to toren off tackle, and completed pass to Hockenson for a 15 yard gain and a first down.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Will be by the defense as KF will defer.

 

[tony0051]

Iowa comes out in empty set and Smith sacks Nate for 7 yard loss

 

[CJBauer]

Play action...Stanley to Smith for a TD...

 

[bojihawk44]

Pro right stretch right to Toren for a 4 yard gain.

 

[CO_hawk]

Without looking, didn't they come out in shotgun last year for a pass play? Was thinking they want to reassure the fan base that they were working on be more aggressive on offense.

 

[Hawkeye_311]

Run to the short side of the field.

 

[hawkfan1963]

Touchdown!

 

[Zildjian6868]

sideline call will be play action out of the huddle. Stanely will see base defense and audible out of it. The defense will then audible. Iowa will run up the left guard for a 2 yard gain.

 

[mill1634]

2 TE set, complete to Fant for a 7 yard pitch and catch.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

sideline call will be play action out of the huddle. Stanely will see base defense and audible out of it. The defense will then audible. Iowa will run up the left guard for a 2 yard gain.

That would be the most likely, unfortunately. I wish the crowd would boo everything that uber-predictable audible happens. It's a wasted play.

Play action to Fant for a long gain. (no TD because the DBs will have watched a lot of film and been told to keep an eye out for his speed)

 

[E.RogerCoswell]

Play action...Stanley to Smith for a TD...

I like this idea. I definitely think the staff will want to get Smith some confidence early on. He’s the key to making our offense truly multidimensional. We know what we’ve got in the backfield and at tightend. Easley is a known commodity. ISM should be good. If we can get a legitimate third receiver who’s truly representative of a Big Ten athlete, look out.

So yeah, I’d agree - get Brandon Smith involved early.

 

[waterboy4582]

Bobbled snap.

 

[Herkmeister]

TD to Fant

IN YO FACE AMERICA!!!!!!

HERE COME DEM HAWKEYES, DAT WHO!!!!!!

Here is the last 10 years

2017-jet sweep to Wadley -1 yard
2016-Daniels runs for 6 yards
2015-beathard to vandeberg 5 yards
2014-rudouck to kmm 11 yards
2013-bullock run up the middle 4 yards
2012-vandebnberg to kmm 4 yards
2011-vandenberg to Coker 11 yards
2010-Stanzi to Sandeman 10 yards
2009-Stanzi to Mcnutt 9 yards
2008-Greene runs for 15 yards

 

[ghostOfHomer777]

Lined up with twins ... then execute an inside zone to Toren. NIU has a stout D ... probably gets 3 or 4 yards.

Interesting. I notice the yardage is missing for 2017. ?

 

[Roy-munson]

Interesting. I notice the yardage is missing for 2017. ?

Fixed it.. the only play that didn’t gain yards.. also zero imcompletions

 

[Keeker16]

Outside zone to the short side of the field. Brian Ferentz referenced this last year that he knew that play excites the fans.

 

[Johnsoda123]

Fake 23 blast with a backside George reverse

 

[HawkAlum2002]

3 WRs, Stanley to Easley for 8 yards.

 

[MikeT2425]

Delay of game? No. It will be a 6 yard sideline pass to Easley.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

Fake 23 blast with a backside George reverse

I love it when you talk football

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Stanley to Fant off play action where the wide receiver has cleared out the sideline for a long pitch and run that could result in a td.

 

[twinmountainholder]

Quick punt by stanley to switch field position.

 

[chiphawk59]

Seven yd. gain TY off tackle and Young bulldozes NI LB

 

[HawkCapt1912]

Timeout

 

[naturalbornhawk]

Stanley in the gun punts. Ball rolls out of bounds inside 2 yd line.

 

[desihawk]

The takeaway: To win 11+ games, first play of the season must be a 5+ yard completion to the best wideout.

[MikeT2425]

BF drinks the koolaid and calls the fumblerooski for a TD.

 

[hawkeyebob62]

Off-tackle...on Jackson's side

 

[Quintana]

given the nature of all this new sh!t, i say a sack coming off of the right side of the line...

dammit

 

[TKingpin]

Yeah, we will probably not run to the right side. Maybe the best way to deal with a great pass-rushing DE is to run right at him. That would be my guess. Zone stretch to the left. Hopefully Toren stays patient ( even though he is bound to be pretty jacked up for his first start) and finds the cutback lane.

 

[hawkfeever]

Dump to Hockensen or Fant.

 

[hawkfeever]

BF drinks the koolaid and calls the fumblerooski for a TD.

That shit worked too good against us when Stanford ran it for a TD in Rose Bowl.

 

[hawkfeever]

Timeout

or false start.

 

[hawkfeever]

if you just run all the kicks back for TDs do you ever have a play from scrimmage????? Or maybe fake FG on play 1. Kirk smirking cause they would never expect Pole Cat coming again.
