*****Official Iowa @ Michigan State Game Thread*****

[larrygreenwallswildride]

This offense is going to be a huge problem all season. It's barely there.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

#18 for MSU has doubled his season total of TD catches in the 1st Q vs Iowa. MSU QB looks like Tom Brady. BAU....

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

That was easy. First PI penalty then TD. Ok coverage but this #18 is killing Iowa.

No Ojemudia is.

 

[BubsFinn]

Penn State is going to beat us twice.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

pretty sad performance. 11 never even looked back.

18 has schooled him all quarter!

 

[Dauminator]

Who was on here who kept going on about how great Ojemudia was?

Yeah, I don't buy it either.

This is pathetic. We put a season's worth of effort into beating Penn State and still couldn't do it. Getting to .500 will be really hard now.

 

[BC Hawk]

A lot of game left, fellas. We’ll be OK. A fast start would be nice for once, though.

 

[bigfridaynite]

Piss poor O then an 8th grade punt

 

[Hawkfan_08]

easy for some of you to say when there are 5 players trying to block 8 players,

That's why we have to pass to open the run.

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Somebody wake the team up and remind them they're in a football game.

 

[ChiHawk1985]

Time to take the the air. Hawks, take flight! Stanley needs to pass more... or be allowed to pass more... so we aren't stuck at running into a stacked box every down

 

[HawkLogic]

Eppy made that play! All of you saying Eppy is weak at run defense can shove it!

I'm all for getting him on the field and letting him learn from mistakes. The 15yard roughing passer and face mask and pass interference by more veteran players are what killed us so far on defense.

 

[BeepBeepInMyJeep]

Really need a score here to slow this down. Critical drive in the 1st quarter

 

[like-woahh]

Obviously the game isn't over, but looks like Iowa blew their load against PSU so far.

 

[Eternal Return]

Iowa, total let down after crushing loss. PSU, lighting it up after ridiculous win. *sigh*

 

[Hawkdogwoof]

Jfc whoever said shit show was right on the money

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Big problem is, passing on first down on our third possession, down 14, fools NO ONE. So any element of unpredictability we had earlier has now utterly vanished.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

it was clearly a facemask...

Yes. But I wish it was the old 5 yard for that type of facemask.

 

[1stplacehawk]

Get #11 off the field. Looking like Castillo out there

 

[pkongsh]

I'm not familiar, do we practice after a tough game with a ranked team? Or just take a week off?

 

[hawklover69]

Team sucks. Heading back to parking lot F to finish the maker's

 

[Moral]

I'm too sober for this.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Penn State is going to beat us twice.

Yep.

 

[Nick Ma]

Does any other team in the country let a guy punt solely because his uncle was in board of regents and gives some money?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I suppose this will be a game where MSU has zero turnovers as well. Iowa will be lucky to LOSE by single digits.

 

[spiderland]

Big problem is, passing on first down on our third possession, down 14, fools NO ONE. So any element of unpredictability we had earlier has now utterly vanished.

Agreed.

Let's run it up the middle instead.

 

[Eternal Return]

Big problem is, passing on first down on our third possession, down 14, fools NO ONE. So any element of unpredictability we had earlier has now utterly vanished.

Yeah, but they just need to go away from the run for a while and see if Stanley can get into a rhythm. It's not like MSU is going to stop crowding the line of scrimmage after just three pass plays. Time to commit to throwing the ball and see if Stanley can make something happen. Let the kid get a rhythm early so he can make some plays before the game gets totally out of hand.

 

[HawkLogic]

Time to take the the air. Hawks, take flight! Stanley needs to pass more... or be allowed to pass more... so we aren't stuck at running into a stacked box every down

BF too predictable on 1st and 2nd down until we get past 50.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I am glad I have two six packs in the refrigerator

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

I'm too sober for this.

I’m not. Thank god

 

[fecal particulate]

#18 for MSU has doubled his season total of TD catches in the 1st Q vs Iowa. MSU QB looks like Tom Brady. BAU....

The guy had 12 catches for 150 yards and 1 TD all of last year and now he looks like AJ Green or something.

 

[TheRealHerky]

0-2 start in the big ten is gonna suck.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Good news is there is a lot of game left. Need a complete reversal of play so far. Maybe MSU will relax? One can hope

 

[like-woahh]

MSU are not world beaters, Iowa is making them look like it right now with sheer stupidity. I understand road games are hard in the B1G but man, stop shooting yourself in the foot.

 

[Eternal Return]

Wait, better yet, let's try to run some clock by keeping it on the ground and make it into half time down by only four TDs.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Nap time

 

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

This is like a bully taking candy from a tiny kid

 

[ChuckThomas12]

Our problem is our coach has been doing this his whole career. We play fired up at night inside Kinnick vs good competition, but fail on a average Saturday afternoon vs a conference opponent. It’s been his whole career guys. Lol at thinking we’d be 10-2 based on one game vs PSU.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

I am normally pessimistic as shit during game threads but I’m not worried yet. If the offense shows up the D will adjust and we got a good road game.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

How is that not a neutral zone infraction on MSU interior lineman?
