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

[LetsGoHawks83]

3/9 for Cade. Is that bad?

 

[intrepodor]

How the **** do we completely forget to show up for this game?

It's called complimentary football

 

[HawkBall23]

More rushing yards in one half for MSU, then in their last 2 games combined.


Way to go, D.

 

[Sett1997]

The half time numbers don't lie.

Iowa trails 12-0.

Time of Possession:

21:13 Michigan State
...8:47 IOWA

....................MSU...IOWA
1st Downs.....15.........2

Pass Yds.....132........30
Rush Yds.....118.........28
Total Yds....250.......58

What even is this? Insanity.
Year after year after year.

 

[CAhawki]

Kirk really probably very smugly satisfied with himself with calling that timeout to ice the kicker. Probably will bring it up in the post game press conference.

No… he will bring up some random occurrence regarding holding timeouts when they still played with leather helmets

 

[BonzoFury]

4/4 tonight without icing
0/1 when icing.

The science is there

Never mind that the miss was a 55 yarder

 

[ronnh]

Iowa starts the 2nd half with the ball.

I'll go on record with a "WTF are you doing!!?!?!?!" pick by McNamara on 2nd or 3rd down, ala the ISU game - only being down 12 instead of up 13 at the time this go-round.

It is sad we don't have something better than Vander Zee at wide receiver. He is just not strong enough to be starting at this stage. He might be good in the future but he is not ready yet. He gets manhandled the entire game.

 

[BubsFinn]

Kirk’s BIG coaching move…. Icing the MS kicker!!!🤣. Congrats Kirk.

At least he didn’t ice his own fake punt.

Progress is progress.

 

[BonzoFury]

This is perhaps the worst "didn't show up" game ever under KFz. Going through the motions.

 

[Hawky42]

Somehow, someway, we will find a way to play better later in the season. Not tonight

It's the pattern of this program.

 

[WaterTower]

Stack the box make Iowa pass and good chance we lose.

 

[wilson reborn]

This is an old topic but how much NIL money did Cade get? I heard @$1 million. Is Kirk incapable of benching Cade because they bet the ranch on him?

 

[Hercuhawk]

The game plan this week was a blank white wipey board. I wonder how many sticks of juicy fruit Kirk will chew during the half. I bet players and coaches are playing Pictionary right now.

 

[ButtersHawk]

To be fair he's been open twice but the QB is horribly in accurate

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that @HawkeyesR_TransLuvers like this post.

Thank you.

 

[Front7]

Need to run a reverse halfback pass or whatever you call it lol

 

[squeezebox]

Stack the box make Iowa pass and good chance we lose.

seems like it would be time to at the minimum add another rusher to the backfield via a mobile qb then.

 

[HawkBall23]

if it's cade after half, I'm probably going to watch the guardians beat the yankees

Better make sure your remote batteries are good and ready to go, because I will demolish a big murder of crow if Sullivan starts the 2nd half.

 

[bdcolt45er]

Way to go, D.

The defense is not the problem.

 

[ButtersHawk]

Anybody else feel like Cade's throwing motion is a big wind up just to be barely above sidearm?

 

[WestIAHawk]

I honestly don't care if Sully comes out and throws 3 INTs, at the very least it is something different.

If he does he should then hit the portal tomorrow.

 

[Bierhalter]

There are multiple WR on this team better than VDZ, CM is just obsessed with him for whatever reason. Wish he'd go back to being obsessed with Gill.

 

[denmar81]

Alright guys let's be positive and cheer em on.
Mrs. Butters will allow me to post boobs if the boys make a comeback

Hers?

 

[BonzoFury]

The defense is not the problem.

It's becoming more so. Our DBs are getting scorched.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Kirk should be familiar with sunk cost fallacy but he probably one that doesn’t believe in it.

bold of you to assume he chews something as exotic as Juicy Fruit

 

[bdcolt45er]

Triple option. Fullbacks, slotbacks.

 

[BubsFinn]

There is no way Sullivan can be this ineffective. Zero receptions by wide receivers, one by a tight end, and two to the same back. That just does not win games in 2024. Hell, that didn't win games in 1924.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

On the flip side... IF we have a coach with a brain and we try Sullivan.... Then get this to 13-7. MSU will be damn frustrated for not putting us away.

But.... We'll stick with Cade 3-and-out

 

[Rambler Hawk]

A good OC makes adjustments, so Lester better pull his head out of his ass ASAP…in spike of having a gimpy, noodle armed QB (who has a great mane of hair).

 

[denmar81]

Randy Moss couldn’t catch what Cade throws

 

[WaterTower]

Get this ****ing garbage off my TV, swear to God if sullivan doesn't start the 2nd half I'm not watching the rest of the season

Whoa...let's not go overboard..lol

 

[Typical Situation]

Iowa playing like shit. Iowa State looking pretty pedestrian. Bulldogs starting to punk the Horns. Hasn't been a very entertaining night of football to this point.

Was hoping that Texas and Georgia would at least live up to the the hype if the other games went sideways.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

bold of you to assume he chews something as exotic as Juicy Fruit

Wrigley original for KF, it’s the only way

 

[iahawks10]

45% turnover on downs
30% INT
17% Strip sack
5% FG
2.5% TD
.5% safety

That is just beyond comical. How do you not give another qb a chance.

Speaking of benching a qb. Texas just benched ewers.

 

[TailgateTom]

3-9 for 30 yards is “getting better.”

Can’t wait to see what our next million in NIL brings us!

 

[IndisputableEvidence]

Ewers benched? Kirk would NEVER

 

[luvmyhawks]

3/9 for Cade. Is that bad?

At Iowa? No. Gets you a union card.

 

[HawkLogic]

I think it was more like $250K/yr is my guess, but It wasn't money out of KF pocket anywat. KF really is an outlier as head coach in that he'd rather lose than admit he went with wrong QB and he absolutely can't stand a QB controversy. To be fair, the entire QB room has been well below average in Talent ever since Stanley graduated.
