i believe there's a game on saturday

[desihawk]

how do we match up with the wildcats and do we stand a chance on the road?

i saw a thread where a poster said the iowa ol was respectable agasint mn, it was solely the play calling that doomed us. with the benefit of a bye week any chance we do better this week? how does the nw defense compare to minnesota? can the iowa defense keep nw to 20 or less?

 

[HawkMachine]

We'll see.

 

[DBQ Hawk]

I think it is not only conceivable that we drop 2-3 of our last 4 games, I think it's probable. We have zero offense. The teams on our schedule are all improving with time

It's possible we go 6-6 this year, I hate to say it. but certainly possible--look at the end of our 2012 season

 

[Hendy hawk]

If Iowa ends up going 6-6 everything will be blamed on the happenings of yesterday.
That will be the scapegoat answer for anymore loses from here on out I would assume.
I hope they can win out.

Only moronic fans will blame yesterday if we lose out.

Let Beth coach it. or she can make Levar interim, he needs the experience

The 'Cats feasted on Maryland's porous defense last week. That will not happen on Saturday.

The Iowa O is anybody's guess. Does the O-line grow a pair and blow some holes for Kaleb and friends? Can Deacon not suck?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

My interest is mainly in seeing Tory Taylor get the all time punt yards in a season record and winning the Ray Guy. Lets see him get 10 punts for close to 500 yards. Come on Tory!

 

[Heathen Raider]

I hope Iowa punts on first down all game long , Tire out the Cats STs so Cooper can break a few late and win us the game 14-10 which results in a NW/Under parlay win .

 

[Dr.PhilSuess]

26 O/U lol another pillow fight between two bad teams

 

[SDHawkDoc]

What's the punt record for a single game? Let's get him that too! Add that to your scenario and it's good.

I won’t quibble about the play calling being somewhat suspect but not sure I would call the play of the OL “respectable” against MN. The team had 11 net yards rushing and gave up 4 sacks. Personally think they need to play much better the rest of the year to avoid a loss or two.

 

[ichawk24]

Iowa is going to kick some butt on Saturday.

Hawks are gonna win at least 9 games this season, which will be disappointing to many posters around here.

 

[Mister Plow]

I was thinking about it today and just became sad. What I believe that will happen is we will play Hill and our offense will slog through a typical 10 or 13 point game and maybe pull out a win. The offense will be like watching people struggle in quicksand and we'll need to pray for a big play from our Defense or ST every time they take the field.

I really hope that I'm wrong as far as playcalling and/or QB play. The run game surprised me against WI so maybe there's hope.

 

[QChawks]

 

[HemiHawk]

I'm taking NW in a nail-biter, 6-3.

 

[the notorious r.d.m.]

What's the punt record for a single game? Let's get him that too! Add that to your scenario and it's good.

If Tory punts 27 times he has a shot. 1,318 punt yards is the record for a single game.

Holy buckets! One guy punting for that many yards in one game is insane.

Freak.

the injury scapegoat was primed and ready to go anyway

 

[BrotherHawkeye]

Oh yeah, a game. In all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself.

Maryland ran and passed the ball well against NW last week but they failed on a short 1st and goal which ended in a missed 4th and goal, Maryland missed a FG, and Maryland's defense gave up some big plays.

I would say NW's offense will have more trouble moving the ball on Iowa but NW has a pretty fast mobile qb which many times gives Iowa's type of defense problems. The real batle will be if Iowa's offense can move the ball and score.

NW is no defensive juggernaut but they may not have to be and NW seemed to have some decent defensive players in the back 7.

 

[hawkandroll]

With Dejean as the surprise QB, Hawks roll 44-6. BF flies out to Vegas to interview for an analyst position the Raiders immediately following.

Iowa just needs to tape a long stick with a bag of McDonalds fries at the end pointing towards the NW endzone to Jones's backside and have Hill QB sneak every play , He will plow for a 1st down every play to get at those fries.

 

[pistachio1999]

I think Dolph has the radio show tonight. Just listen to him and he will probably have them being the 1985 Bears.

 

[desihawk]

since they screwjobbed us out of playoffs, now i'm just hoping for a ny6 bowl. is it wrong to care?
i get a kick out of zero offense iowa winning 10-6 and 5-3. i will stop this addiction cold turkey after the bowl game.

 

[jonesy5960]

I

Only moronic fans will blame yesterday if we lose out.

I can probably name a half dozen right now.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Don’t care - The worst quarterback in the country is still our QB1.

Staff changes can’t come soon enough.

 

[HawkMachine]

Oh yeah, a game. In all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself.

Can we just fast forward to next year?

It's sad because I LOVE watching our defense.

But I don't want to watch the defense on the field 75% of time.

 

[Iron Doc]

NW 7
Us 5

-----in extra innings

 

[citizenHawk]

If Kirk starts Hill, not sure I care. ??
Morbid curiosity to see which team makes more mistakes, but it's a sleepy way to watch a football game.

Hopefully NW kicks the ball to CDJ, and hopefully Kirk gives him a green light to return anything he can.* (*Not a given.)

The KF hatred is growing by the day.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Is there a reason we're playing in the crap hole Wrigley Field? I thought it was a renovation of Dyche but NW played Maryland there last week...

 

[the notorious r.d.m.]

Holy buckets! One guy punting for that many yards in one game is insane.

It was one of the most infamous games in all of sporting history

 

[Niko13]

Iowa 13
Northwestern 12

This CDJ punt return stands before half! Iowa wins with no points scored in the 2nd half

 

[citizenHawk]

I love the man, but I'm really tired of the his QB issues. We've been here before. Play someone else and show me you are trying.

 

[pistachio1999]

Iowa 13
Northwestern 12

So we get up 13 - 0 and we ride it out 13 - 12. Sounds about right.

 

[artradley]

Well, there is no shortage...

 

[pistachio1999]

Kirk could just take on play calling duties next year.
