*****OFFICIAL IOWA vs. Illinois Game Thread*****

[bansheexyz]

lmao ref staring right at Epenesa being held.

 

[denmar81]

Can’t expect a perfect throw every time. Other guys have to make plays too.

I get that, but this TE group isn’t going to catch the tough ones.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Did we just return a punt?!?!

 

[biggreydogs]

Fear the beard

 

[DrVenkman]

Illinois color scheme looks like the original Tron movie.

 

[DougERot]

And just like that Nate's below 50% completion rate

 

[takai]

So was AJ just held right in the face of a ref or was it just me?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Penalties optional today...

B1G Ten officiating is a joke.

 

[millah_22]

What does it take for a hold?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

So was AJ just held right in the face of a ref or was it just me?

Yes, blatantly.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

North South please.

 

[biggreydogs]

Brian we don’t have the Cheetah on our team

 

[BubsFinn]

TT has to keep running and try to get the corner. Even if he makes the first guy miss on the cutback, there is another defender just waiting for him.

 

[desihawk]

Epenesa should not have made and held eye contact with ref during hold.

 

[CP84]

ISM needs to get his act together.

 

[DrVenkman]

Having a lot of success going horizontal against this defense.

 

[takai]

What the hell is happening

 

[DougERot]

Wow we continue to go backwards on 2nd down. Problem all season

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Turnover time.

 

[MWardT]

Take a shot deep! Coverage is tight

 

[spiderland]

Well, at least we’re not wasting field position...

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Our young guys need to learn to just attack the edge when running as opposed to dance around.

 

[desihawk]

I like Goodson but maybe Young or Sarge should soften the Illini a bit.

 

[HawkInArk]

Offense is one step forward, one step back. Man...12 rushing yards after 3 or 4 possessions.....damn.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

TT has to keep running and try to get the corner. Even if he makes the first guy miss on the cutback, there is another defender just waiting for him.

How often has that play worked?

Why they continue to go to that is a mystery.

 

[DrVenkman]

Hope Iowa can sustain a few drives. Going to be a tired defense

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I’m super excited to not watch Stanley play anymore after these next few games.

I have as much confidence in Stanley as he does in himself, zero.

 

[biggreydogs]

Iowa cushion

 

[BubsFinn]

3rd and 2 and we give a 15 yard cushion.

 

[HawkGem11]

BF lead offense as always is a PUKE SHOW...got to love only getting the job cause of DADDY!!!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Refs letting a lot of sh** go thus far.....

 

[TheRealHerky]

Hankins can't cover shit.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Hankins is getting abused

 

[HawkInArk]

It's already time to bench Hankins.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Also there's our 1st half sit back and wait to react secondary hard at work.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I’m super excited to not watch Stanley play anymore after these next few games.

Huh?

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

I’ve said it twice already but wtf is this Illinois love fest about.

 

[HawkInArk]

3rd and 2 and we give a 15 yard cushion.

THIIIIIIS

 

[BubsFinn]

Just a little OPI.

 

[denmar81]

Offense is one step forward, one step back. Man...12 rushing yards after 3 or 4 possessions.....damn.

Against the second worst rush defense in the conference. Leave it to Iowa to not use that as an advantage

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Our best run was a 7 man blocking front, though I can't remember if Nate was under center or not.

Maybe we should try that if we want to ever run the ball the rest of the game.....
