LOL, I was scratching my head on that one. Didn't catch the sarcasm font.
IOWA’s Game Plan
- Thread starter TouchdownMyPants
- Start date
For Iowa to win, Wadley has to score on a run and throw a TD pass, Stanley has to have two td's himself via run or pass, and defense and special teams must score TD's as well. Get to 35 points and I like Iowa's chances.
Go Hawks!
Go Hawks!
Pray. It's these types of environments where Iowa has tended to show well. Hawks don't usually play afraid against anyone at home. If they can have it within 10 at halftime, anything can happen. Make it a fistfight and look for a big play.
Buckeye fan here. Iowa's best bet is to exploit the middle zone of our defense. Our LBs, while extremely athletic have had assignment issues in the middle of the field. Utilize your TEs, I know you guys have a couple good ones. Slow the game down with slow, steady drives taking as much time off the clock as possible to keep our offense off the field and you guys could have a shot. A lot of this really depends on what Buckeye team shows up too. We know playing at Kinnick stadium is never easy, your home crowd can be brutal but I hope my Buckeyes come ready to play. Good luck!

When was the last time KF game planned for a particular opponent? I can't seem to recall such an instance in, oh, roughly the last 19 years.
After looking at a couple of OSU games, I would say we should should run a lot of 2 TE sets (maybe even 3 at times) with a FB (if Kulick is healthy) and run right at them with power plays and some of our gap scheme. Butler will be getting some carries in this. OSU's Dline is built for speed. Pass rush and lateral movement. They aren't that big up front and I think we can move them. We can play action off the 2 TE sets with lots of crossing routes (and occasionally wheel Fant) and send the lone WR on post patterns. They don't defend the middle of the field particularly well and teams have hurt them with crossing routes because they play so much man. They can also run 3 vertical routes and sneak the FB out or/and Bubble and Wheel the RB. They rush so hard, a few well timed draws, screens and shuffle passes (I think that is still in our arsenal) should be effective. Staying out of 3rd and long is crucial (like I'm telling anyone something they don't know). OSU does a lot of twisting up front, so communication on the line is going to have to be the best it has been all year, but if you 'catch' them in a twist on a power play, they turn into big gains. Their DL and LB's are so fast, 'stretch' plays probably won't be real effective, but we will see some to keep them honest. Eat lots of clock, and make them go a long way to score.
Like I said on Defense, key on the RB, sit in zone, and make them throw underneath, underneath, underneath, and make their QB beat us with his legs. HE DOES NOT LIKE TO RUN and goes down easy, Make him 'pay' when he runs, and playing zone helps eliminate the QB getting big chunks of yards when he runs, it's when teams are in 'man' that QB's run wild because all the coverage is running with their backs to the QB. It will be interesting to see how they 'plan' this.

So which Iowa coach saw my post and used my gameplan? Did I screw my own team over lmao
