*****OFFICIAL IOWA at Wisconsin Game Thread*****

I refuse to believe last week was a fluke. This is stupid.
You'd think the offense should be really confident after last week but they just seem to be playing and coaching scared. Doesn't make sense even if Wisconsin is playing good defense.
 
For people that blame the offensive coordinator. How many teams do you see sneak out of their goal line? Iowa always has. You have to know by now who calls that.
 
1. Only down 10 points after looking worse than dog crap.

2 F Wisconsin

3. Gonna be a totally different 2nd half

4. GO HAWKS!

That was the worst prepped plan i've seen from Iowa in awhile. Shouldn't be shocked. How we don't take a deep shot after the turnover at the 50 I don't know. Not one play to a TE. Very few touches for Wadley, non in space.

Have to be aggressive to start 2nd half or it's over

Annnnd we're back to our regularly scheduled Iowa Hawkeyes.

Hawks will lose by 14 at least.

I think Iowa will be lucky to keep the deficit under 30 at this point. The offense and special teams suck so bad right now that the best thing Iowa can do is get their defense on the field to keep the game from being a blowout.

The team takes the demeanor of their coach. Playing to not lose is what KF does best. Last week was something different that worked but now it's back to the same-ole KF ball
 
So what's the answer?

Is Wisconsin that good or is Iowa that bad?

I still don't think Wisconsin is that good. Soooo....

Throw the damn ball down the field. The o line has got to give Stanley some time. Get wadley out in space and find your badass tight ends.

The good news is that we have run into a fired up buzzsaw in Wisconsin that is going for their first quality win and have thrown the kitchen sink at us. Yet, we are only down ten and get the ball to start the 2nd.
 
UW's offense is nothing special. Their defense is as good as any team's in the country. But they'll get destroyed by Alabama if they make the playoffs.

Their defense is good, but not as good as Alabama. Iowa offense was not ready for 3-4 and we are getting out schooled because of bad prep.
Daniels is no match for the noseguard, Stanley and OL is not identifying where the rush is coming from... run blocking has been shitty all season.

You would be lying if you told youself you were surprised by this, right? Not surprised, so typical of Iowa. Oh well.
 
Honestly, can you have a worse offensive gameplan. Is it even possible? Is it possible to have a worse punt return game? Is it possible to have a worse punter?
 
For everybody birching about throwing like last week. The players are not getting open, the OL is crapping their pants because they're confused by 3-4. It's literally the same offense sans the terrible field position. Same story as MSU and PSU where field position killed Hawks.

Thank God it's halftime. Iowa can't give up a safety at halftime, can it? No? I don't know. There's a first time for everything.
 
If you don't think Wisconsin is good after watching this then we can't be friends. But for their TOs this would be a 31-0 game.

They are literally kicking the shit out of our offensive line. No one is open because there is no time for any Iowa receiver to get more than 7 yards downfield before Stanley has to throw the ball. They are rolling up coverage and no one is open. Running the ball is impossible as well.

We are ****ed unless we can figure out how to block again.

What about the other 29:30 minutes of this shit show?

The offense has been complete garbage. Luckily for them, special teams has been worse.

So Wisconsin knows they need to blow our doors off to have chance at playoffs. Better come to play in 2nd half or going to be UGLY!

5 yards passing and 13 carries for 15 yards....
I'd honestly just run the ball the rest of the 2nd half.

If we can't get time and or separation for the pass, then just keep running and burn the clock to get the game over quicker.

Almost all of our runs have been token set up plays leading to whatever the f*** were trying to do in the passing game.

Problem is, Wisconsin is blitzing out of their 3-4 and apparently can lock down all of our eligible receivers 1 on 1.

It's f***ing stupid.
