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

[mstp1992]

What a pathetic performance.

Flat out embarrassing.

The offense and Ferentz don't even look disturbed by how bad they look. Not even making an effort.

 

[Scott559]

Just getting physically whipped at the LOS, no magic play calling fixes getting beat up in the trenches. If Iowa is going to come back in this game it is going to be line play not play calling that does it.

 

[Eternal Return]

Vertical use of the tightends down the field. Where is it BF?

As much as I'd like to blame Ferentz, Iowa's offense is just overmatched player by player against UW's defense. They are getting whipped at every single position.

 

[iahawks10]

5 yds passing
15 yds rushing

winning combo right there,folks

Maybe he’ll get some fire yelling at the review official. There sure as hell is no fire in the offense.

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

This team beat Ohio State LoL

And these boards were singing the praises of the coaches for an entire week and now they want heads to roll....again....lmao

 

[DougFHawkeye]

There's another half coming up........

While I certainly hope you're right...

Might a well just throw the damn ball every play ... throw the damn ball downfield

Yep. Throw deep 3 times... Ether a pick or then punt. Probably go deeper than our 20 yard punts

 

[speed4power]

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.

Apparently after our tightends dominated OSU last week, we decided we can't use them this week.

 

[bigfridaynite]

2 punts hitting the ground is the main issue.

 

[VicHawkeye]

Being down only 10 is not bad considering how poorly we played. Not counting on it but I think Iowa will come to play in the second half and pull out the surprise victory.

 

[Chewback]

Well yeah that is the problem.

 

[Franisdaman]

So what's the answer?

Is Wisconsin that good or is Iowa that bad?

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

to me, Wisky dominates both lines of scrimmage

if you can match up with their lines, you can do OK, because I don't think Wisky's QB is gonna win them big games

but who does match up in the B1G? Does Ohio State?

Nationally,who does? Bama? Who else?

 

[luvmyhawks]

There's another half coming up........

That is what I am afraid of. How ugly will this one get. Iowa looks so unprepared and playing not to lose. Deer in head lights. I hope they can fix it, but fear the opposite.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

20 total yards first half. Told you guys to wait before crowing our new staff. That was ugly.

 

[HawkNole09]

20 yards and 1 first down.

And we haven’t shown any sign of stuffing their run game.

If they dial up pressure, then lets dial up Wadley on the wheel route

 

[brewhawk23]

Come on guys, "just need to clean some things up" here in the second half.

 

[Chewback]

And these boards were signs the praises of the coaches for an entire week and now they want heads to roll....again....lmao

Fire Ferentz! Yank everybody's schollie!

 

[bravehawks1]

No hope we wear the alternate units again next week so the alternate team plays too. Stanley needs to be benched just for something different.

Playing bad is one thing but when the offense and special teams got off the bus in Dubuque, that is embarrassing. At least we are bowl eligible (for Detroit I would guess).

This game makes last week Saturday feel like a dream

 

[BeepBeepInMyJeep]

Looks like many spent the week gloating in the win a week ago. Look so woefully unprepared. How many times have they had free runners into the backfield? False starts? Dropped passes? There' been mistakes on almost every play. It's either lack of preparation or being tuned out mentally.

Is Wiscosnin better? Probably. Are they good enough for Iowa to only have 20 yards? I refuse to believe that.

 

[Franisdaman]

AT&T is having a worse day than Iowa!!!

Why is AT&T advertising an iphone 8 when the iPhone X is out? Are they that stupid??

Sorry, I think this is a good discussion to be having right now! LOL

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

Nice ‘heisman flashback’

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

The offense in the 1st half was gutless. Absolutely disgraceful.

Yep and D was making ALL the plays to setup our O.... Pathetic

 

[Franisdaman]

The first half ends with these Iowa stats on 7 drives: 23 plays, 20 yards.

 

[Eternal Return]

Iowa's offense after first half after playing against Bucky's D:

 

[BigOHawkfan]

What a pathetic way to show up after a great win last week. Sadly Iowa is going to be on the losing end of a 31 point beat down today. On top of that Iowa can't win on the road, if this crap continues next week Iowa could drop 3 in a row to finish the season.

 

[pink shizzle]

Winning the turnover battle 3-0 but down 10 at the half. Ya don't see that every day.

 

[HawkNole09]

We HAVE to come up with a different strategy for teams most like us:

UW, NW, MSU

Nah...just will never understand I guess. Glutton for punishment....that’s why I’m hawk fan baby

Except they couldn’t punch it in inside the five.

Not sure how you believe the defensive line is getting dominated. Wisconsin has 17 points and started one drive on the Iowa 25.

The o line is getting destroyed. Not so much on the defensive side.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

This is correct.

The offensive performance in the 1st half is inexcusable.

 

[Eternal Return]

At home, I agree with you. On the road? Iowa has sucked all year on the road in the B10 and UW's D is the best in the B10. Young players came of age last week and are crapping their pants in Wisconsin.

 

[luvmyhawks]

We HAVE to come up with a different strategy for teams most like us:

UW, NW, MSU

All teams that have built their programs around Iowa. Now, they are much tougher than the hawks.

I would say the defensive line is getting worn down. Happens a lot in Iowa games when the offense can't move the chains.

[HawkLogic]

Our OL has been whiffing all season in run blocking. The deficiencies in pass protection are scheme...Wisconsin has had several unblocked runs at Stanley. Daniels can't handle the Nose guard and got blown up. Our guards are tiny guys.

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

Apparently after our tightends dominated OSU last week, we decided we can't use them this week.

Can’t throw to anybody if you don’t have time....Wisconsin LB was right in his assessment of their plan earlier in the week...blitz the shit out of them and throw off their timing....Oline not gettingvoff the ball like last week...makes a big diff.

 

[brewhawk23]

The real questions is:
Does Iowa score an OFFENSIVE touchdown today??
I say if they do it will be in garbage time late in the 4th quarter when they are down 20+ points
