MSU going for the 1st down....I thought they might just run it and try and kill as much clock as possible.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Okay one more chance.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Going to get the ball with 1:10ish left...

 

[Buffhawk]

Oh boy! So now we have a decent blitz

 

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

What happened to the T.O. we saved in the first half?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

In theory, Iowa would have to win out and need every other West team to have at least 2 loses.

Our first loss was against a East team. If we won out, we'd have those head to head decisions against Wisconsin, Minn, and others. So really wouldn't need 2 losses from those teams.

 

[longliveCS40]

Will Stanley overthrow the end zone on the hail Mary? Stay tuned to find out.

 

[spiderland]

One more chance for Jackson to fair catch inside the 5.

 

[denmar81]

Don't put a returner in

 

[CP84]

1 minute left. How many draw plays and 3 yard passes do we run?

 

[desihawk]

End of game handshake conversation:
Dantonio: great D but your OC sucked.
Ferentz: that's football

 

[bhelm22]

I'm glad Brady Quinn clarified that a stop is what we are wanting here as Iowa fans

 

[HawkLogic]

I will refrain from any criticism of the Head Coach and the OC for Iowa's offense. When the QB makes horrible throws, receivers drop balls in their hands, and the ball is turned over by fumbles, not to mention the Timmy Lupus pass attempt etc.. It is a bit premature to put the blame on the staff.

Every loss is on the coaches because they coach and recruit and choose to play those guys that don't get it done. MSU is not great and neither is Iowa.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Maybe MSU will snap it over the punters head

 

[StallmanCurse]

FFS, 5 wide with a running QB and we leave no one in the middle.

 

[CP84]

What an idiot, Jackson.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Ok... You can't do that .... Let that PUNT GO!

 

[Eternal Return]

That's inexcusable. Jackson? He has to stop returning kicks. Period.

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

Wtf....?

 

[desihawk]

Omg he tries returning this punt? Mad I tell you, madness.

 

[HawkLogic]

I think we need to choose a different punt returner.

 

[spiderland]

OMG, did Jackson really field that on the 1?!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Jesus...the clock is an issue, wasting time...

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

MSU might as well do illegal formation a few more times.... That rule sucks

 

[luvmyhawks]

That's inexcusable. Jackson? He has to stop returning kicks. Period.

Agreed.

 

[BubsFinn]

What the hell is he doing?

 

[ISPHawk]

This is on Coach P and his pathetic o line!

 

[Eternal Return]

G damnit, Jackson! Get up there and catch the damn ball!!!

 

[desihawk]

And he let second one roll?

 

[longliveCS40]

Want inside the 10 so didn't want to catch that one.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

And then he doesn't catch that!?!.

Literally everything done wrong two punts on a row

 

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

Jackson's punt return game is strong.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

25 seconds wasted with that punting fiasco

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

This is comedy.

 

[HawkLogic]

Going to get the ball with 1:10ish left...

that was optimistic prediction

 

[speed4power]

We lost 26 seconds from those 2 punt plays. 15 seconds on the one that didn't even count.

 

[QChawks]

6-6 team

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

We have some players that are not smart at the game of football

 

[StallmanCurse]

omg, who is the special teams coach?

 

[BubsFinn]

Jesus Christ, do we even talk about what to do on a punt?
