It was 50/50 or better for TD if Purdue had gone for it. Will take 11 point lead and hope they can play some defense in 2nd half.
As said earlier No pressure on QB. It's going to come back and haunt us.
Iowa never seems to do well against backup QBs. I remember Curtis Painter coming off the bench years ago at Kinnick and lighting up the secondary for the rest of the game.
Note that the scoring drives almost entirely are with the wind though. So not a huge surprise.
Seems like this happens to Iowa quite a bit. Starting QB goes down and the backup comes in and torches us.
Guys, our pass D is really starting to worry me, especially with a trip to Lincoln next week…Not just dogging on the secondary, D line not getting anywhere...

DL wearing down due how many snaps they've played this year. Iowa is not deep on defense.
To me, it was the missed XP. Nothing kills momentum like missing an XP. It really shouldn't ever happen.
I think the wind is part of it today too. Have the wind, both teams passed accurately. Against...both teams sucked.

I missed most of the first half. Did Easley get any touches. I hope that we don't go away from him the rest of the year. He is a home run threat everytime he touches it
I doubt CJ is 100%. Anyway you don't need to risk the Franchise up 13 pts at home.
As others have said, less worried about the pass D in the secondary as I am the utter lack of pressure on the QB. If you can't get more pressure with 4 down, bring on the raider or blitzes.
Agreed. After the off season he will be healthy but to make calls like that in this weather, why risk getting him beat up before next week. If we were down 13, maybe out of necessity.
Yeah, I didn't really mind the qb sneak call. I am frustrated with the conservative defensive paly calling though.
Some timely blitzes sure..maybe some Raider...those are things you have to do to cover up a poor pash rush with your Front 4. It does seem like the Defense has been off its game for last few weeks. 10 pts given up is not bad, but the trend wasn't good going into half.
Not really. There was a guy waiting there for him 2 yds past the line of scrimmage...If the goal was to gain 2 yds, then yeah, it was excellent. Minus the fumble....
Good thing all those teams literally read your post and took your advice to heart.............................
True...i said that before the backup even came in.
The key here is iowa isn't even blitzing. .we're giving the qb all the time in the world. Just like last week. They are gonna come out of the locker room pumped...we need to take the wind out of there sails..
I wasn't actually being serious about that, douchebag. They already know when 10 checks in, it's going around the edge. I was expressing concern over the package because it's high school-esque, Paul Chaneyish bullshit and it still hasn't been remedied.
Would be interesting to have stats either way. I think pocket is safer on per play basis.
Running he can take a big hit from any angle and he doesn't have option to dump ball if he sees someone coming. Beathard doesn't slide. Case in point, the hit Lomax put on Purdue QB.
I don't think qB draw was terrible call, just don't think I'd take extra chances with Beathard sitting 10-0 at home with lead vs lousy team.
I think most people realize our posts our meaningless and waste of time.
