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

[desihawk]

The Illini have fresher legs and have prepped well during their bye week. I think we'll adjust in the second half.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Just a little OPI.

Lol “just a little screen.” **** off dude had him engaged.

announcer not your response

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

I see Kirk Ferentz -1.2 is back in the house

Fatigue is not an issue.

 

[desihawk]

Fatigue is not an issue.

I didn't mean fatigue for us. Just that their guys have bit of a burst on O that you don't see late in the season without extra rest.

 

[spiderland]

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

It’s the classic “stoppable force versus the movable object...”

I don't think that's because of the bye, but okay.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Beyer bounced back from the knee injury.

 

[Cougar63]

[DougFHawkeye]

It might be Illinois is faster than Iowa

 

[takai]

Great pass

 

[desihawk]

Fitted with bionic knee.

 

[DrVenkman]

Man have we missed that seam route!

 

[Cougar63]

Fitted with bionic knee.

6 Million dollar man

 

[spiderland]

Toss sweep?

 

[desihawk]

6 Million dollar man

Yeah he was booking like a WR on that play.

 

[takai]

7 yard QB sneak

NICE

 

[DrVenkman]

MMillen calling Linderbaum an all-American

 

[takai]

Shit, all this effort for a field goal

 

[luvmyhawks]

Herbstre

Shit, all this effort for a field goal

You surprised?

 

[MWardT]

Goodson not as decisive today. Hesitating. Just hit it and run!

 

[biggreydogs]

Where the hell is Young?

 

[AJBHawkeye]

I harped on this in another thread, but we have a media timeout for an injury, then kick a field goal, then we need ANOTHER media time out? I honestly don't think I would ever want to go to a cold weather game anymore- you spend all your time at the game waiting for something to actually happen!

 

[WestIAHawk]

Where the hell is Young?

3 deep...

Illinois 102 in rush D...

We have hardly any rush yards qtr and a half in..hope iowa tries everyone find the hot guy...

All 3 need to be used...wear them down then turn Goody lose...

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

Where the hell is Young?

Everyone wants Goodson. Now it’s Young. I’d say if the ball were at the 3, Young. However 1st and goal from the 10, Goodson is your man.

 

[biggreydogs]

No I don’t. Goodson is the man but at times we need some thunder. And when we do Young is it.

 

[desihawk]

Dodged a big one.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

How many almost sacks do we have this year?

 

[takai]

Jesus we just let him slip through all those tackles

 

[DrVenkman]

Someone needs to wrap up the QB.

 

[biggreydogs]

Great field position need 7

 

[HawkInArk]

Man.. we're pretty lucky the Illinois WRs aren't catching all these easy ones. Wow. DBs ridin' the struggle bus this afternoon.

 

[takai]

Shank you very much

 

[Cougar63]

Linderbaum wins the Rimington at least once if he stays for his RSSR year, or I'll get a tattoo of Kirk Ferentz sitting in a bird's nest.

 

[biggreydogs]

Neb WR better

 

[spiderland]

SIAP, but on a side note, Stanley and Peters have a pretty good QB mustache competition going on...

 

[DougFHawkeye]

god we love that play for some reason.

 

[BubsFinn]

Are we trying to burn the clock by running sideways?

 

[desihawk]

ISM bottled up today no matter what we try.
