[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Throw beyond the sticks!!!!!!

 

[denmar81]

3 PF no calls so far

 

[spiderland]

GDGD call there...

 

[BubsFinn]

At least run to the goddamn stick, okay? Jesus. Three and out.

 

[backinblack23]

Predictable once again

 

[MWardT]

Throw the ball down the field!

 

[DougERot]

Back to passes short of the sticks...3 and out

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

3 PF no calls so far

Fix in?

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Throw beyond the sticks!!!!!!

Hard to believe.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

**** this. Come on get to the sticks before sitting in

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

If we lose, this is 100% on Nate.

Any questions?

 

[WestIAHawk]

At least run to the goddamn stick, okay? Jesus. Three and out.

I knew it...it was inevitable...usually happens with 2 minutes left tho..

Still might happen..

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Lol

 

[bansheexyz]

Greg Davis, is that you?

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Rush game is a joke

 

[H4wkfan4life]

these refs are some damn clowns!!!

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Apparently it hasn't registered in Brian's thinking that horizontal runs don't work.

And then you run a three-yard route on 3rd and 4.

Oh, this is vintage Iowa football.

 

[Cougar63]

If we lose, this is 100% on Nate.

Any questions?

Yes. Where's the running game?

 

[DrVenkman]

Illinois is faster than Iowa sadly.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

He’s a senior

 

[DougERot]

If we lose, this is 100% on Nate.

Any questions?

Defense ain't been good either

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Whoever got paid to help Illinois win this game should give their money back..........

 

[moondog24]

Makes no difference who the running back is if your line blocks like a sieve. Illinois’s line looks nasty. Iowa’s line looks soft.

 

[Nick Ma]

Someday and that day may never come Iowa will figure out that if it's 3rd and 4 you don't have to just go for 4 1/2 yards. You can actually go for like 7 or 8 yards.

 

[HungryHawk]

Defense ain't been good either

Yeah totally, I mean what kind of terrible defense gives up 10 whole points?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Defense ain't been good either

DTs keep getting stood up. Zero pressure especially against the run.

 

[rfgiowa]

Three and out...and defense is back out on the field. Same old same old.

 

[WestIAHawk]

Whoever got paid to help Illinois win this game should give their money back..........

You saying they wont win?

 

[JesusIsKing]

Offensive line coach needs to be replaced, no doubt about it. Just horrendous run blocking.

 

[biggreydogs]

Here we go, nail biter time

 

[MWardT]

Defense is tired. Not good.

 

[briggshawk]

Whoever got paid to help Illinois win this game should give their money back..........

I think they should get paid, the refs are doing one hell of a job......

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Defense ain't been good either

10 points allowed, please explain.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

How do you get a 3rd and 3 and then throw 2 yards? Come on Brian. Idk even know where the problem lies but that is middle school shit

 

[backinblack23]

Illinois is faster than Iowa sadly.

That is true, but even if I know that we are handing it off to Goodson on the 2nd and 5 call my guess is guys that get paid to coach and scheme this game know it to, all you have to do is look and down and distance against us and I could scheme a defense against Iowa. It's easy to stop someone if you know what they are going to do.

 

[BubsFinn]

Someday and that day may never come Iowa will figure out that if it's 3rd and 4 you don't have to just go for 4 1/2 yards. You can actually go for like 7 or 8 yards.

I'd be happy if they learned you don't have to go for 3 1/2.

 

[JesusIsKing]

Iowa loses these games more times than not. Let an inferior team hang around

 

[HawkInArk]

True, but their stats are deceiving. Playing much better since giving up 600 yards to Nebby early in season.

Gave up 346 to Nebraska
>> 332 to Minn
>> 295 to Mich
>> 156 to Wisc (very good)
>> 135 to Purdue!
>> 185 to Rutgers!
>> 275 to MSU (MSU avg 123/game)

Iowa today: 47

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

YUUUUUUGE!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Welch playing like a Senior.

I will take it.

 

[WestIAHawk]

Someday and that day may never come Iowa will figure out that if it's 3rd and 4 you don't have to just go for 4 1/2 yards. You can actually go for like 7 or 8 yards.

If it ain't happened by now...it never will..
