*****Official IOWA @ Penn St Game Thread*****

[takai]

This is a hard 180 from the staff we've seen the past 2 weeks

 

[Sett1997]

Lol, what a cluster .

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Not going to lead at half...

 

[DougFHawkeye]

All the people asking for Mansell can stfu now.

How bout Rastetter?

 

[spiderland]

Wow. Tie game coming.

 

[mstp1992]

Now the defense is sloughing off.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Still blown away that we went for it on 4th and 10 at midfield. Just idiotic.

 

[Herkmeister]

I just killed my dog. Just another thing that is Nate Stanley’s fault.

 

[mill1634]

That play call was so stupid. So, so, so stupid.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hat the hell was that? We just set them up for a Hail Mary at the very least. Beyond stupid.

This ... Hail Mary.

Now they tie up with a FG... I'm guessing

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

PSU backup playing better than Nate, and it’s not even close.

 

[desihawk]

So did the psu kicker make it the first time?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Still blown away that we went for it on 4th and 10 at midfield. Just idiotic.

Yep.

 

[brewhawk23]

Basically gifting them a chance at 3 pts at the end of the half. Way to go KF 2.0 and sidekick BF. Stupid play calls and poor execution

 

[yiana]

What an awful decision? 4td and long?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

So did the psu kicker make it the first time?

Yes

 

[BubsFinn]

This is the strangest goddamn game I've ever seen.

 

[Gridiron24]

Garbage playcalling and bad execution

 

[HawkeyeinOmaha]

Icing your own kicker.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Just unbelievable

 

[denmar81]

All the people asking for Mansell can stfu now.

Why? He didn’t take a sack and tried to get something with his legs. Receivers got to get open for a qb to throw it. Dumb call on BF.

 

[BetterLuckNextTime]

Kirk Ferentz 1.0 has shown up.

 

[hawx]

Great coaching Brian. Free 3 points to end the half.

 

[DougERot]

Just gave them 3 free points

 

[cg8284]

I never knew one man could have such an impact in a game but I guess when it’s the most important position it makes sense. What a joke of a half. Should have a 3 TD lead.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

So after all that, it's a new game.

Will we get 2 safeties and big kick returns in the next half too?

Effing BS

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

This is the strangest goddamn game I've ever seen.

Only Iowa in bubble games....

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Completely freakin' moronic to go for that on 4th down. Just gave away the lead at half. Unf%^^ing believable what boneheaded decisions the staff comes up with some times.

[blhawk]

All the people asking for Mansell can stfu now.

at least he didn't threw an interception or get a grounding

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Well that was all around terrible. So many points left on the board. So many confusing calls. Defense has been okay but we can't give 10 free points.

 

[win1forthe]

Iowa is lucky to be tied. Poor execution and coaching

 

[BetterLuckNextTime]

This is the strangest goddamn game I've ever seen.

Amelia Earhart will fly out of a portal and land her plane on the field during halftime.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

So to sum up:
1. We gave them 7 on a brainless near pick 6.
2. We gave them 7 more (a -7 for us) by missing a WIDE OPEN AND ALL ALONE Hock.
3. We gave them 3 on a mind-numbingly stupid call to go for it on 4th and 10 at midfield.

WE’VE GIFTED THEM 17 POINTS. Unreal.

 

[percyland]

Should be up by about 14

 

[brewhawk23]

This game shouldn’t be anywhere near tied. Absolutely pathetic outside of the defensive line. Something better change quickly.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I never knew one man could have such an impact in a game but I guess when it’s the most important position it makes sense. What a joke of a half. Should have a 3 TD lead.

Yep. For all the 1st quarter craziness. Grrrr

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Lolz@ Penn State in this game

 

[ronnh]

One of the stupidest play calls I have ever seen. Gave them 3 points.

 

[denmar81]

O-line better get their head out of their ass. Can’t run or pass block at all.
