****Iowa vs. Penn State Game Thread****

[mustang_horsepower]

I'm getting this started early. A lot of us are frustrated and not all too surprised by our current circumstance for one reason or another, but here we sit. However, to be a little optimistic, I like to think we can spoiler per se and take it to psu later tonight. Defense has been doing well and hopefully they can keep us in this game. With 2 weeks to prepare we would like to think we have a solid gameplan but that has shown to not be the case this year. I'm hoping, although seemingly very wishful thinking, we see something otherwise...

Play to win today. Be the spoiler. I stand by these Hawks through and through.

Go Hawks.

Actually....I think we lose tonight but pull a major upset over Michigan next week.

The best we can hope for is better execution out of the bye week.

I'll be watching at a wedding reception in Des Moines..........

Oh it's happening.

"We've got everything taken care of sir. You have nothing to worry about on our end........"

I *never* pick Iowa to win. For some reason I think they are going to do it.

BTN shows the game currently on BTN Plus, does anyone know if the game will be streamed on regular BTN, or is the subscription to BTN Plus required? TIA...

If it's on btn it will be on BTN2Go free with cable subscription.

Cool, just makes me nervous when the site links BTN Plus next to the game. Good to know, thanks Baller.

"Coach, what do you think of your team's execution today?" McKay quipped, "I'm all for it".

I think that's how the advertise online. Probably to get people to pay extra for what's not needed.

Iowa's last visit to Happy Valley was in 2011. Coincidentally, they were coming off a bye week that year as well. They lost 3-13.

I agree with those who are saying Iowa will need to score on defense and/or special teams to have a chance to pull off the upset.

You proably feel that way because PSU sux

 

[bagdropper]

What is it, 8 game roadie streak? To be perfectly honest, I think it's a good thing it's on the road.

The caveat for me is the fact I have to do the radio thing for the game today which will no doubt give me a headache win or lose. I may just pull up the PSU radio broadcast on my phone so I can avoid the migraine that is Dolph, and know what's going on.

 

[mustang_horsepower]

Anyone know who is announcing the game tonight?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

"October 20 7:00 PM Penn State Kinnick Stadium • Iowa City, IA BTN L 14–38 70,585 "

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

How much do we get to hear about how great James Franklin and Saquon Barkley are?

 

[StormHawk42]

Croston out apparently

 

[spbc7]

Who is worse, Matt Millen or Beth Mowins? Beth's voice is obnoxious, but Millen is an idiot, so I give him the nod

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa trying to find "the offense"...

 

[StormHawk42]

Mowins AINEC

 

[ChrisVarick]

It is going to be loud. This is going to cause chaos when CJ tries to audible to run right and run left.

 

[markfromj]

9.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Lets go...

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Croston out apparently

Sure why the f*** not.......

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

The start we needed

 

[spiderland]

Well, that started well...

 

[spiderland]

Making us look silly already.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

The start we needed

I don't think it is unless we scored......

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Why would PSU even throw the ball? They are averaging 10 yards a pop running the ball.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Special teams let down right off the bat.

 

[takai]

Lmao we're done

 

[unoHawkeye]

That looked like second half Purdue defense

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Desmond treated like a bitch.

 

[spiderland]

That's why...

 

[naturalmwa]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

That bye week paid dividends. We really came out focused and well rested. Hell, the team still might be on the bye week.

 

[DougERot]

King burned

 

[fecal particulate]

All too easy.

 

[mustang_horsepower]

Ouch

 

[DougFHawkeye]

2 weeks to get ready...doh
