[markfromj]

this is not wonderful

Okay, but it at least indicates they do not "have our number".

Airing it out. I like it.

 

[QChawks]

Puke

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

How the hell are guys hurt after a bye week?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Why is it such tough sledding for Iowa on short down situations? Always has been, makes no sense.

 

[percyland]

I don’t understand why they don’t put in a bigger back for short yardage runs.

 

[markfromj]

Anyone else watching Gameday? Was it me or are they starting to use the phrase "that Iowa team from a couple years ago" to describe a team that isn't as good as their rank shows?

I was only partially listening, so I could be wrong. But if not, that pisses me off.

That is what they said and they were correct.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

A lot of curl routes so far

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Yuck....going for it again though

 

[HawkeyeFever62]

That was never getting a first down anyway.

 

[BubsFinn]

Is Greg Davis back?

 

[QChawks]

WR’s needs to get open

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

3rd and 5 and 2 yard out

 

[QChawks]

That’s why we are 4-2

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Stanley twice in a row threw to guys who were blanketed...

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

Pathetic. Kick a damn FG

 

[BubsFinn]

Two consecutive passes short of the sticks on 3rd and 4th down. Nice.

 

[ISPHawk]

Terrible play call. Take the points!

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Kick the field goal!? Is it too windy?

 

[markfromj]

3rd and 5 and 2 yard out

Oh, bs. He holds on and it's a first down.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

Pathetic. Kick a damn FG

Wind is blowing hard into his face there. Right call.

At the game the flags are straight to the opposite side of the field.

 

[markfromj]

Terrible play call. Take the points!

Because it didn't work?

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

Wind is blowing hard into his face there. Right call.

At the game the flags are straight to the opposite side of the field.

Didn't realize that. I apologize but should've run better play

 

[MVPFAN]

Drops are killing us.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

Oh, bs. He holds on and it's a first down.

No, the guy was right there

 

[markfromj]

Didn't realize that. I apologize but should've run better play

Like what?

 

[QChawks]

Get ready for Cats Jackson to run wild today boyz

 

[takai]

every time I've been there, yes. but it's been a while. the iowa club website lists like 4 different bars. I used to go up there a lot to the bmx races in Desoto , seems like I've been to a few more bars through the years but I do not recall each one. but for sure wizard's was the "go to " place unless times have changed.

Good call on wizard’s. There are a number of Hawks here. It’s just too bad it takes me 40 minutes to drive here.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I liked going for it on 4th. Thought Iowa could curl to a TE for 6 yards

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

Didn't realize that. I apologize but should've run better play

Yeah not saying it was the right play call. Just right call to go.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Oh, bs. He holds on and it's a first down.

I don't think Young would have had the 1st but it would have been 4th and 2.

 

[BigOHawkfan]

Going to fall behind early again

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

Like what?

Screen, out route. He'll, we ran curl routes every other play that drive. Might as well try it again

 

[ISPHawk]

Terrible play call. Take the points!

Because it didn't work?

No. Said it before the play. Get some points on the board. If it works, great.

 

[QChawks]

Going to fall behind early again

BAU

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Can we blitz on a bad o line?

 

[IAHWKGUY]

2nd and 5 from the 28 yd line, if you think you might go for it on fourth, you have 3 run plays to get 5 yds. Wadley takes you down the field, and you take him out right here on 3 pass plays, your best receiving RB. I’m at a loss.

At least they moved the ball and no 3 and out, but with no points to show for the nice drive, that really really hurts in what should be a Close game

 

[QChawks]

I wish we had a punt returner that was a threat to do something

 

[markfromj]

That’s why we are 4-2

What is?
