phil- stop their first drive, then leater- score a TD to give the fans some relaxing sexy watching time
 
Clowns start the 2nd with the ball. Expect more of the dink and dunk.
They're still gonna come back to the run. I don't think they trust that Becht can start taking shots down field, especially if Iowa is creeping closer and closer to another pick on their quick outs and comeback routes.
 
Poor line play on the two blown first downs inside the five. Getting no push at all.

On the other hand, up two TDs. A not bad offense held scoreless. Still going to win and cover!

Especially when it's 1st and Goal at the 1. Give me the best QB sneaker
I definitely understand the mentality, but with this OL, that is very hit and miss? (aside from the outside corners for KJ)

Just not consistent enough to guarantee success where it was a sure thing in the past.
 
Matty C cannot figure out Iowa defense. Amazing how they can look competent against any other team but with Iowa they look like a Brian F offense

ISU has to be thinking that half ended up pretty darn good considering. We should be up 20+
Yes, this could easily be 24-0 right now or maybe even a little worse. I still don't understand why we aren't seeing KJ more as a featured back. I know it's a running back by committee for most teams nowadays but KJ ALWAYS makes something happen it seems. We had the same problem years ago not using Hock and Fant enough, even as decoys.
 
Sooo..... The defense is everything we thought it would be. 6 quarters without allowing a single point. The offense is still very much a work in progress. It doesn't appear to suck. It might be below average, which might be enough for an excellent season.

I like some of what I'm seeing out of Lester. I know Kirk loves the guy, but I'm kinda done with the George Barnett experiment. I don't know if it's talent or coaching, but the lack of any push on short yardage against 3rd string linebackers is the difference between 13-0 and 21-0 today.
