We ran for whatever we wanted. Stopped doing it every time we had success. I don't get it.

*or ran a stupid play to the outside.

Like the last play?

 

[Easthawk1062]

Ah my favorite type of fan. Any gripes with the offense over the years immediately = flashy spread offense.

The one thing Iowa was great at when BF was the OC was the QB sneak. Now a lost art for most teams not called the Eagles.

I would love for someone to find out what we averaged running the ball this season on either 2nd or 3rd down with 2 or fewer yards to go.

It can’t have been very good.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Moulten and jaz 23 carries for 170 yds should’ve had 30+ carries

 

[QChawks]

I get what you’re saying but at some point you need to be able to throw the ball effectively

We didnt stop then. We stopped after 3rd and 2 and not getting anything

That was to the outside.

Lots of head scratching play calls when we were ahead of the sticks in the 2nd half. Continually trying to have Sully win the game when it was clear they could not stop our power running game. Gave it away.

This times a million. No one gives two sh!ts about stats if u can’t get a yard and a half . Ridiculous

I missed almost all of the 2nd half. I was able to see the lat two possessions where we failed a 3 and 3 then punted. Then a 4th and 2 and was stuffed. We scored 3 pts, so where was the flashy plays? It seems like Lester ran the o in the 1st half, then Ferentz took over the 2nd.

🙏 Amen, brother🙏

A lot of mistakes in this game uncharacteristic of Iowa play. Out of bounds flag interception and sacks that could have been avoided.
Missouri QB hurt us with his play.
Still wondering why Pribula committed to Missouri .
Said it was not the money but a good fit according to many on this site.

We've done that for eons, they completely abandon what works. BAU.
They do it with players too, those that have been watching Kirk over the years know.
We will have someone on fire, Kirk immediately pulls them. Lol

Nope. We got dumb in the second half. We were running 7+ at will and stopped.

Yep, this forward pass thing is no doubt a "passing fad." Iowa will be all good next year when most teams go back to 3 yards and a cloud of dust!!!!

We kept trying to run Sully outside in the second half. They made adjustments and took that away in the second half. That is why the inside runs were good. If they cheated on that we go back outside. We need to be smarter.

How many 3rd and shorts second half that failed?

I thought i was onboard, but Sully is not the answer.
