*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread****

[HawkBall23]

If the offense can control the clock decently and keep the D rested as much as possible??

And the opposing offenses are in for a real beating when the Iowa game comes up on the schedule.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Let’s see a sustained long drive for 7

 

[HawkBall23]

OL still struggling on run blocking.

 

[desihawk]

the familiar O is back

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Iowa State doing trashy Iowa State things.

Is it that 5 star culture?

 

[BubsFinn]

Come on Kirk, it's too early to go turtle.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Drive down the field and get a score!

 

[HawkBall23]

Finally gets a hole and trips. ugh

 

[2D_]

OLine still looking not good.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Still can’t figure out that backside end blowing up run plays.

 

[Etalicus]

Come on Kirk, it's too early to go turtle.

KF says hold his beer

 

[Franisdaman]

3rd and 8

whatcha got, Lester?

 

[jonesy5960]

Running game is stuck in reverse.

 

[TheRealHerky]

When the first play of a new offensive series is a run for Iowa, it gets blown up every single time.

 

[Hawkeyesgonewild]

Come offense

 

[Chishawk1425]

Shoot Vander Zee, need that. Oh well, #PuntingIsWinning

 

[desihawk]

with taylor we could flip the field even from here. apparently not with dakin

 

[Franisdaman]

These refs blow

Pass interference there

 

[bdcolt45er]

Kamari leaving some yards on the field.

 

[HawkBall23]

DB all over him and a pull on RVZ, but hey. Gotta keep the Clowns in it I guess, right refs?

 

[2D_]

Great pass by cade, shame it wasn't caught

 

[Chishawk1425]

All over him and a pull on RVZ, but hey. Gotta keep the Clowns in it I guess

Yep it was PI.

 

[BubsFinn]

Still can’t figure out that backside end blowing up run plays.

After 15 years of it, don't expect a fix any time soon.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Iowa State still holding in the secondary.

That was a good throw by Cade.

 

[longliveCS40]

ISU is due for a turnover here.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Notre Dame down 10-7 to Northern Illinois, who is in the red zone. That is fun.

13-7 upset alert!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Thought VZ had that.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Holy hell.

I’m sorry, but, our offense is amateur and terrible.

Yawn.

 

[2D_]

I smell a bomb from Brecht coming, they're going to start playing desperate since they can't move the ball

 

[Franisdaman]

Clowns.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

first of all, prior to our game, these tx folks here in austin seem to think it's possible to go beat michigan in ann arbor is a ho

 

[BioHawk]

Another missed PI call....

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Right now, the struggle is figuring out how to make forward progress against the middle line of the ISU defense.

They're just sitting in what's essentially a 3-5-3 mix and the middle 5 are reading the play and trusting that they can close fast enough to make plays.

It works for shutting down plays on the edge and unless the OL just blows you off the ball, allows for them to collapse on middle runs for short gains, especially if they sniff out run early.

The weakness is if you get OL free to the second level with a gap for the RB.

You can gouge them in the run and force them to have to tighten up in the middle which will then open the edges and potential plays downfield.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Notre Dame down 10-7 to Northern Illinois, who is in the red zone. That is fun.

Wow

 

[IowaMuse]

Iowa offense is better but still not reliable. And still struggling enough to make this anyone’s game for now. Keeping ISU in it.

 

[bdcolt45er]

After 15 years of it, don't expect a fix any time soon.

Be patient. We're make them pay for biting soon.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

KF on the sidelines. 10-0 is simply perfect and a standard to maintain, he wood love for the game to end at this current score.

 

[desihawk]

they are in good field position
best today?

 

[HawkBall23]

If the refs are gonna allow that, ISU is gonna crowd the LOS and be like stink on shit on the WRs trying to run their routes/make breaks.

How about PI gets called?!
