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

Well, there is 0% chance that Stanley leaves early. But he has got to learn to play with pressure. This was a sorry effort.
 
Gosh dammit. We had so many chances. Stanley HAS to play better from here on out. HAS to. As much as it sucks, I would still be happy with a 10-2 finish.

He can't and wont because Stanley SUCKS under pressure. Iowa loses to Purdue and Nebraska and goes 8-4. We play whoever in the Holiday Bowl.

Both big games we really screwed up. PSU made 4 major mistakes and wins. We missed a wide open TE and threw a pick on first and goal at the 4 yard line. Unbelievable

Yes, fellow Hawkeye fanatic. I, like everyone else on this board, just assumed that Stanley would be a high draft pick after obviously making the college football playoffs, but it looks like he still needs to polish his helmet some more. And that's OK.
 
I'm thinking there's about a 90% chance they lose at least one more game. Probably 50-50 they lose at least two more.

Of the games remaining, I've got them dropping either nw or pu.

Really had a chance to to take the lead when Stanley threw the pick at the goal line. Call a time out and we have a chance to put it in after regrouping. That stings the most in this game.


Inexcusable. As was the field goal oppurtunity to end the 1st half, as was the wide open hockenson miss.
 
Like everyone else on this board, I was positive that we were going to the CFP until the refs ruined it for us, guys.

There is ZERO chance Stanley wins one of these big pressure games. Just proves to me that Mansell must really suck in practice and be quite a bit behind captain Choke. Stanley was putrid today and hurt but yet stays in there. Disappointing.

How many times do you see a well run 2min or less offense out of a KF team? Other than the KF screwup not to call a timeout vs LSU and Tate bailing him out, every last drive is a cluster fudge bar.

Basically now...if Iowa Runs the table (doubtful) and Wisconsin loses one more (maybe PSU?) Hawks win the west and go to Indy.

Today sucked royally but we gotta go get purdue next week. Still 4 weeks to go.

Sure no one want to hear anything positive, but as bad as the result was, we still have a decent shot at Indy with what else transpired.

I don't think that it's blaming the refs when they bungle a huge call like the infamous "phantom dropped pass in the mud puddle" play. Every Hawkeye fan knew that this was the year to make the CFP, and now? POOF. Gone.

We could have Peyton Manning on the bench and he wouldn’t get any meaningful snaps as long as Stanley is capable of walking.
