*******Iowa vs UCLA Game Thread*******

[Garbanzo Joe]

Need to run the QB

 

[Chishawk1425]

Bad play calling and their DL > Our OL

 

[denmar81]

And just like that our o-line sucks again.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

How HOW can you play so soft defensively? Just another west coast nightmare…. Does this game mean much? Nahhhh pride wise yes…. But when we lost to ISU - MSU -OSU… the bottom fell off-

 

[Wadzinator]

Wow

 

[Terrykohawk]

UCLA basically blitzing LBs or CBs on 1st and 2nd downs. Adjust Lester!

 

[HawkBall23]

Sullivan looks so so so hesitant on QB keepers in this game.

Where's the fire and eagerness to turn & burn like in the past 1.5 games??

 

[hawkinarkansas]

And Lster goes full Brian and can’t scratch out a first down to get us out of the half.

 

[ClarindaA's]

Their QB is the only reason we aren’t getting totally rolled.

Our defense looks soft as ****, no hitting. Wrapping, driving the defender into the sod

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Lol, our O is garbage.

 

[biggreydogs]

We got a pillow fight

 

[hawkirugged17]

3 and out ... quickly.

 

[doughuddl2]

Looks like BF run offense, straight up the middle into a wall.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Iowa going conservative again on the road. Road for a loss.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

**** me

 

[CookyMonster]

Don’t overthink it Lester. Feed KJ

It's. Not. Working

 

[bhelm22]

We are cooked in the trenches

 

[iowaathletes]

Sullivan seems a step slow tonight

 

[Garbanzo Joe]

Punting is winning

 

[QChawks]

This was a classic trap game

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

UCLA better than record.

Sully missed seeing or doing the relief which might have been a 1st Down.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Jesus. MSU was bad and this looks to be similar to that game.

Probably worse

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

The offensive line is offensive right now.

 

[bansheexyz]

no screen plays, not a single wetjen jet sweep. This offense looks like sabotage to get Cade back next week.

 

[jonesy5960]

Iowa offensive line is getting absolutely owned tonight.

 

[MWardT]

Sullivan is way too quick to leave the pocket and run. He barely got into his drop back and he’s off.

 

[longliveCS40]

They are clearly selling out to stop KJ.

UCLA has a really good defense against the run. They've been bad against the pass. They're a bad match up for us.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I thought our o-line had improved ……

 

[desihawk]

their defense is as good as the 2023 iowa defense

 

[IowaMuse]

UCLA with 8 men at LOS. The inability of Iowa to have any semblance of a competent passing game is atrocious. Just a derelict of duty by KF.

 

[ClarindaA's]

Sullivan seems a step slow tonight

He was better before he got bent in half on the second drive

 

[2D_]

Running is no longer an option. We have to keep passing. So dumb we just keep running it up the middle.

Only a matter of time before our defense breaks. Man this sucks.

 

[MitchLL]

OLine back to "suck mode".

Getting bitch slapped so far.

 

[BurgHawk87]

When things get tough it seems the offense goes back to brian ferentz line up and try to beat you. Zero pre snap motion, run into a wall, straight drop with terrible route concepts. Does kirk have an override button on the helmet mic?

 

[millah_22]

Burned a solid 1:13 off the clock there.

Good luck D, have fun.

 

[MWardT]

So he can run into an eight man wall?

Yes, just like he did last week.

 

[TailgateTom]

What a bullshit drive

 

[thunderstruck1]

Our lines are not playing as well as theirs. They are gashing us and KJ has no openings at all. Better light a fire under the big boys asses asap. We ain't wearing them down, so that is out. Better dial up the passing game a little more.

 

[bhelm22]

This sets us up for a pick 6 before half, not enough time for them to run it

 

[Mitch122]

Sort of ok with extended commercial breaks right now. Bout the only way the Iowa defense can take a breather

They could try getting off the field for once… looking like MSU all over again
