**** OFFICIAL GAME THREAD ****

[Pepperman]

I'd like to see the following:

Defense holds them to under 10
Hawks score about 40 and then put in backups

 

[unsubstantiated]

That TD looked like a hot knife going through warm butter. Great job by the o-line.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I know Purdue sucks, even more than Maryland and Indiana, but both those games started like this too. Lol such a pessimist

Iowa shut the O down in the 3rd with runs right up the gut into 8/9 guys. I don't mind going to a run oriented offense to eat the clock, but you have got to be creative with it a bit.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Just what we needed. Pound these Boilermakers!!!!

Its true. I really hope we lay it on them today.

Purdue was probably it would be snowing still with the all white uniforms.

Purdue was probably (thinking??...hoping??) it would be snowing still with the all white uniforms.

 

[artradley]

Prudue had a guy wide open down the middle. Yikes

It was after the QB was being tackled.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Each game Kittle continues to impress. He's turned into a damn good all around tight end.

Those first two offensive drives were as perfect as we can be.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

C'mon D! Don't let em score!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

OMG....Lomax destroyed Blough

 

[artradley]

Ouch!

 

[like-woahh]

Lomax saw a nail

 

[22*43*51]

That kid went to sleep for a minute.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Blough (if he comes back) is going to think twice about running the ball.

If it's Austin Appleby, he can run too and put up numbers. However, he is a turnover waiting to happen.

 

[takai]

21 potential points in the first quarter? I'll take it.

Boy that was a monster hit. I think Blough might be done, at least for a while.

 

[like-woahh]

I love how Beathard can just flick the ball 30-40 yards, such a great arm.

 

[Buffhawk]

Sweet reception by Smith!

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Bob Sanders on that play

 

[bhawk24bob]

Definite hit to the head, not much you can do when the qb falls forward at the last second

 

[luvmyhawks]

I love how Beathard can just flick the ball 30-40 yards, such a great arm.

Very smooth. he looks like he is feeling a little better. His accuracy has been good so far with the deep balls.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

It was a "legal" hit per the textbook. But definitely H2H, hope QB is ok, scary stuff.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Maryland up 21-3 on Indiana with 5:30 left in the 1st

 

[MauiHawk]

Clearly wasn't intentional, but I think they could have got lomax for targeting there. Whew.

 

[spiderland]

I know Purdue sucks, even more than Maryland and Indiana, but both those games started like this too. Lol such a pessimist

I just love how this team has shown up, AGAIN, focused and prepared to win, just like they've done ten other times this year. I don't think they'll accept NOT leaving Kinnick as B1G West champs today!

 

[Lg2]

It was a "legal" hit per the textbook. But definitely H2H, hope QB is ok, scary stuff.

That would be toughest part as a defender, avoiding head to head contact when the runner lowers their head

 

[greenelite]

Wow, great WR blocking.

 

[like-woahh]

Just straight up kickin their ass. This is awesome.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Koehn...LOL

 

[hawkeye ball]

Chips and salsa time! GOOOOOOOO IOWA

 

[spiderland]

Yikes! Still need some cleanup on XPs.

 

[takai]

Jesus these PAT's are gunna kill us one day

 

[like-woahh]

Did they move the PAT back to 30 for college as well this year? Seems that way for Iowa, yikes.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I guess when the teams only weakness is extra points...that's good right?

 

[HawkLogic]

Regarding that Back shoulder throw with free blitzer by Beathard...that is why he is a corvette and Rudock was a buick. Some of the best plays by QB in my memory by Beathard.

 

[artradley]

Clearly wasn't intentional, but I think they could have got lomax for targeting there. Whew.

His head was lower when he initiated the hit, then the QB lowered his head. Unfortunate, but you can't call that one.

 

[22*43*51]

Did they move the PAT back to 30 for college as well this year? Seems that way for Iowa, yikes.

Actually, I think that would help us.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Appleby is coming in for Purdue. He can make plays for sure, but he throws a lot of interceptions.

 

[citizenHawk]

Hawkeyes look focused today.
Shut them out!

 

[luvmyhawks]

Outside of Koehn, the hawks are a well oiled machine right now. Keep the foot on the gas. Put em away.

 

[DarkThunder#61]

I'm assuming he missed it to the right. He f***ing continues to push it hard to the right when he kicks those PATs. Don't know why he can't adjust on that.
