Fran is a goof, that joke of a basketball Team will not win 18 gamesKeep your chin up, I hear Fran is cooking up a lock down defense, I smell final four!

The D couldn’t get off the field which means the O gets no rhythm. This game was all on the D…100%Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
Admittedly I missed the first half. I know it wasn’t good offensively but the D needs to step up after your 5th string QB gets you game tying score. D not stepped up in all 3 L’s (not including OSU).How about that offense?
could’ve been a 40-10 game, so in a sense we wonAss kicking
It seemed like we got 3rd down punk'd all night. Our D was so soft on the pass. Not a typical Parker D, let alone one that is loaded with veterans.Ass kicking
Your point stands, but there were way too many 3rd and longs where defense couldn't get off the field.Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
I’d argue the were given 3 turnovers (2 for sure)Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
This.Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
I think that the whole team has been revitalized with Sullivan at QB1. I expect an inspired effort from everyone, starting last week, from there on out.
Other than the "slow start" (IE, no points in the first quarter last week), all units have been cooking with gas since just before halftime vs NW a couple weeks ago.
[I don't count NW punt return TD, as a black mark, because Iowa had called off the dogs and only the backups were on the coverage unit at that point]
I have. The Michigan st gameI haven't seen Iowa defensive backs look so lost in over a decade.
Our defense gave up 415 yards and couldn’t get off the field. What game were you watching?Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
The D was gutted all game long. Looked like a Big 12 D. Two forced turnovers in the red zone salvaged what would have been a blowout.Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
Barnett has Coached an OL of losers since Kirk DEI hired that freaking loser. Iowa's OL is a bunch of pansies and has been since Doyle leftThis.
This OL for the most part has been trash and George Barnett sucks a$$
The O got no rhythm because their d-line was dominant. Had nothing to do with our d. I’ll say it again, they gave up 20 points. Our o-line sucks, that’s what lost this game.The D couldn’t get off the field which means the O gets no rhythm. This game was all on the D…100%
UCLA 9-14 on 3rd and worst part avg distance was 8 yards on them. We were lucky even in the game at the end with 2 bad turnovers in the end zone by their qb.Your point stands, but there were way too many 3rd and longs where defense couldn't get off the field.
Castro was brutal, Harris was lost, Schulte was Schulte and X didn't have a tackle all nite.
Can't think of a single guy on defense that was even "average" tonite.
OL hasn't been trash this year. At times they've been dominant.This.
This OL for the most part has been trash and George Barnett sucks a$$
and the D got curb stomped by a soft UCLA offense . OL should go make tampon commercialsThe O got no rhythm because their d-line was dominant. Had nothing to do with our d. I’ll say it again, they gave up 20 points. Our o-line sucks, that’s what lost this game.
I wouldn't say it was all on the D, but the first series of the game was the only time it felt like the defense put the offense in an advantageous situation. Otherwise UCLA was getting 5.4 per carry and consistently converting 3rd downs. Kind of like you said, not much to generate momentum from.The D couldn’t get off the field which means the O gets no rhythm. This game was all on the D…100%
I hope they all get the whoopin of a lifetime , maybe it will turn them into actual alphas instead of starbuck's goofsThe Hawks are really banged up and in positions that don’t have a lot of established depth….they played poorly for a lot of the game…..yet, it took a 59 yd. FG to beat them…
It’s a good thing they have the week off…. Maybe some bodies will heal in time for Maryland and Nebraska.
Go Hawks!
You must be new to these in game threads......Ok but act like an adult.
Don’t care about yards, points is what matters. Our offense couldn’t sustain drives because Sully was getting hit on every dropback and KJ was getting hit as soon as he touched the ball. Yes, the D played bad but at what point is giving up 20 points terrible defense.Our defense gave up 415 yards and couldn’t get off the field. What game were you watching?
Just more typical game thread posts.The state does not suck, sorry.
The offense reverted to 2022 form. No presnap motion. Same thing as the MSU game.Don’t care about yards, points is what matters. Our offense couldn’t sustain drives because Sully was getting hit on every dropback and KJ was getting hit as soon as he touched the ball. Yes, the D played bad but at what point is giving up 20 points terrible defense.
I don’t think the ucla offense has been “soft” the past couple of weeks. Iowa has trouble with Mobil QBs…Very disappointed about tonight…Hawks have a lot of important players injured…maybe get a couple back in 2 weeks.and the D got curb stomped by a soft UCLA offense . OL should go make tampon commercials
the “d” got bailed out 3 times tonight…UCLA really exposed them…. Much like the MSU game.Don’t care about yards, points is what matters. Our offense couldn’t sustain drives because Sully was getting hit on every dropback and KJ was getting hit as soon as he touched the ball. Yes, the D played bad but at what point is giving up 20 points terrible defense.
WhoRun game was shut down....Lester will need to figure that out. Defense got shredded and if not for some good plays by defense/bad plays by UCLA QB they would have put up a couple more TDs. This game was not as close.
Did Sullivan have a concussion and Doctors made the call? Stratton actually played okay but , Kirk Ferenz is the guy that kept Beathard taking snaps with 1-leg vs Florida St in Bowl Game, so not like KF gets worried about QB's taking a beating.
Stratton looked better than McNamara. McNamara would have thrown some INTs and fumled the ball with no run game.
Because kirk was peeing his pants again and orders Lester to call conserstive playsThe offense reverted to 2022 form. No presnap motion. Same thing as the MSU game.
Our defense gave up 20 points and got 3 turnovers. Face it, Iowa’s issues are on the other side of the ball, specifically the O-line and its coach.
Too true. I was a teenager when this bastard started coaching. I'm getting close to 45 now. Jesus Christ. More than half of my life with him as the coach. Too much.At this point, it's feeling like ...
As i said earlier bend dont break finally broke like isu and mich st gameBruins 415 yds on offense tells me the D was a problem. 9 of 14 on 3rd down
it was, but all those yards and only giving up 20 points was good enough to win if our offense had a pulse.Bruins 415 yds on offense tells me the D was a problem. 9 of 14 on 3rd down
Its no secret now run and short passing game our defensive we play our safteysAs i said earlier bend dont break finally broke like isu and mich st game
In this game, the team with better players won.What about that MSU game?.........
No, Iowa lost.In this game, the team with better players won.
I would say it was disappointing to see the number of guys "striking" the ball carrier and not wrapping up. We had numerous times in the game where we could have stopped them on third down and they bounced off and continued down the field past the chains. I didn't think the LB's were bad, but if the DL gets pushed back out of their gaps the Lb's can't play nearly as clean and make those tackles like they usually do.Your point stands, but there were way too many 3rd and longs where defense couldn't get off the field.
Castro was brutal, Harris was lost, Schulte was Schulte and X didn't have a tackle all nite.
Can't think of a single guy on defense that was even "average" tonite.
Phil lets them have 1st downs to prevent the big play just dumb
17 holding
If ever someone chose the correct handle ...Is what it is, unfortunately. But I think we're on the right track with our coaching staff.
