This may have been the understatement of the century.Iowa is lucky to be tied. Poor execution and coaching
This game shouldn’t be anywhere near tied. Absolutely pathetic outside of the defensive line. Something better change quickly.
All the people asking for Mansell can stfu now.
At least 2.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.
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-knowingly stupid call to go for it on 4th and 10 at midfield.
WE’VE GIFTED THEM 17 POINTS. Unreal.
"Is it just me or does Iowa have a pair of all-american TEs and has decided not to use them today?"

From an all around stand point, thar was one the ugliest halves I have ever seen.
Kirk Ferentz 1.0 has shown up.
That's a bit unfair. Iowa did capitalize on field position, that's where the 17 points we have came from. But also gave up a bunch of milk for free.Yea but they gifted us 4 as well as countless good field position. They are capitalizing on errors and Iowa isn’t so there’s nowhere to point the blame than on the team itself
This is shocking!Ferentz and Stanley have their head up their a$$. Unbelievable, ridiculous, idiotic.
How bout Rastetter?![]()
They will have halftime to figure out an excuse for that last series.Still blown away that we went for it on 4th and 10 at midfield. Just idiotic.
Umm no.....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.
1.0 would have punted there.
But also would have kicked the FG, instead of the trick play for our only TD.
So would be 13-14 PSU.
Kirk 3.0 with the slight edge
Agreed. That's where those few series when he played in other games become useful 'coz i don't see him coming in and carrying us to a win.Mansell is not the answer.
THIS THIS THIS
Yup, this about sums it up. Absurd playing by Stanley, absurd coaching by Ferentz.
Terrible play calling. Cmon Nate!!! Defense needs to pin their ears back for mcsorley!
Feel like we should simultaneously be up 30 and down 30. Wtf is this game.
You’re right. It looks like Wisconsin last year.Stanley -14 pts with missed TD pass and INT to 3 yard line. OL getting manhandled a little bit. This doesn't look like a B1G championship game offense.
Yeah we need to stop f***ing around and go out and win the game, instead of feeling anxious and excited and stressed at the same time because we have a small lead against OMGITSPENNSTATE. Who gives a f***. You outplayed them. Now f***ing act like it.Iowa is lucky to be tied at half -- Penn State has tried to give Iowa the game and we are giving it right back. Poor decisions, poor execution, if they don't get their act together they will get rolled int he 2nd half. Penn State will not play that bad again.
