***Official Iowa @ Nebraska Game Thread***

I'm not sure if this is considered a battle of two tough teams going back and forth or just a big pillow fight between two crappy teams.
You're ahead of the curve.HORRIBLE END OF FIRST HALF CLOCK MANAGEMENT!
FIRE THEM ALL!
Save that for the basketball board.HORRIBLE END OF FIRST HALF CLOCK MANAGEMENT!

And just as most national pundits called it, this one is looking like it will come down to which team commits fewer special teams fvckups.
Right now, even, just like scoreboard:
Nebby 2
Hawks 2

Iowa doesn't use the TEs, as Fant sets a record for most TD catches by a Tight End in a single season.
Nope.........never use the TEs. Fire everyone.

The good news going into the second half is that Nebraska is as bad at making halftime adjustments as Iowa. Once again, a stalemate.
It only took 19+ minutes to complete a pass to him. If the game is close late in the 2nd half, bodes well for Iowa as they do like to follow predictable patterns. So one Fant drop midway through the 4th and then a Fant TD to tie the game. Then OT.
Hopefully he has about 100 more in the 2nd half.
It's more than possible to wear out this Nebraska "D".
It was really close. I didn't think they were gonna over-rule it cause it was so close.
They musta felt Lee's arm came forward an inch or two is all I can think of. Didn't really look like it though.
Could have went either way. Lee hit just as he was getting rid of it.
I gotta admit, yeah, two incredibly bad special teams gaffes. But a 99 yard drive, followed by a gift drive for a TD into the wind?
Pass defense improves, offense keeps "trying" into the wind and tries to take advantage with the wind a little harder - Iowa can win this.

Unfortunately I feel like his arm was just starting forward and had ball control judging by the shitty camera views I had on the tele.....but they called it fumble, TD on the field so I felt like there was a chance...it was pretty close.

Nebraska's starting nose tackle (6-5, 305)--in a walking boot. His day is over.

The rule is indisputable video evidence. I didn't see that.
Iowa doesn't get those calls. Only OSU, Mich, Nebby, and Penn State get those calls.
Too bad Hesse didn't pick it...it was close.

That was the first fake punt or fake field goal Nebraska has run under Mike Riley.

Tribute to the late Bob Elliott in the first-quarter break at Memorial Stadium, with his wife & children on the field.

I thought his arm was first hit before it moved forward. It certainly came forward, but in my opinion after it was grabbed so it wasn't a pass, but I'm a huge Hawkeye homer, so.
My takeaways: we should be ahead 14-6. Gave them a gift possession at our 15 from the punt drop. Cannot forgive Phil Parker for not blitzing on 3rd and 10. Our DBs cannot stay on these guys for that long.
Nebraska should have kicked a FG when they tried their fake and we should have gotten some pressure on Lee for that 2nd TD.
Offense is playing well. Can’t give Lee that much time.

Backup will play like Vince Wilfork and their defense will turn into the '85 Bears.Chad LeistikowVerified account@ChadLeistikow 19m19 minutes ago

That's what Wisconsin does.
Because f*** Wisconsin. That's why.
Whether Iowa wins or loses this game, the greater point is, who is entertained by what Iowa is doing on the field? Iowa should be blowing out this weak-ass Nebraska team. But, of course, the game plan is plain vanilla. Offense, yaaaawn. Defense, stay in base 4-3 and yaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
This is like watching high school football. But, of course, it's because Iowa is young, injured, and not executing. It couldn't be that the coaches' game plan leaves a lot to be desired.

One thing we can all agree on: this warm weather is clear evidence of global warming and man's impact on the earth.
agree?
agree?
I thought from my view, the defender hit his bicep downward making the forearm go forward. After the replay I felt there was no way to overturn it.. It's Lincoln though, anything's possible.
We should have 7 more because the first play was a fumble.
And Parker abandoned the blitz scheme. It's too complex for him.
That’s for the analysis. I think Dolph is under the impression it was the worst blown call of all time. Like all 15 Outback Bowl calls rolled into one.
