***Official Iowa vs North Texas Game Thread ***

[Rustys Dad]

Okay ... time for our defense to come out of the locker room ...

 

[Sett1997]

Just watched the fumble replay, what a bs call.

 

[ScoutRefugee]

I'm here to tell you that our offensive and defensive lines are not that good. Not good enough to win the West.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

You will see that high step at least four times each Saturday.

You get an official with a chip on their shoulder and look what happens. I agree it is a weak rule and call, but it is a rule.

 

[BubsFinn]

Does UNT want to review the extra point? Odd place to use a timeout.

 

[iahawks10]

Sorry I missed late we had soccer today.

What did I miss?

The memo that said soccer is for pussies.

 

[Sett1997]

Stanley's poise is very impressive for this early in his career.

 

[Crazy Hawk]

If anyone should be PO'ed it should be Stanley. He is losing style points in regards to touchdowns thrown and his quest for the Heisman this year.

 

[desihawk]

That's what happens when its batted by a lineman.

Yeah, i missed it the first time...

 

[And1Hawk]

2 really bull crap calls but I will agree our OL & DL are very suspect

 

[JoelBittner]

This is the type of game to give Butler lots of carries. Keep Wadley healthy.

Completely agree with you . . . especially after that drive

 

[mustang_horsepower]

Most iowa fans typically around the end of 1st qtr.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Does the defense decide to show up at all today?

 

[like-woahh]

Still waiting for that TD to be overturned somehow. Are we safe after the kickoff?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

How is our little celebration after we just scored any better than 1 high step before scoring? That is a terrible rule and the official abused it.

The refs shouldve flagged Hockenson for raising his hands after the touchdown and moved the ball back to midfield....

 

[Crazy Hawk]

On a serious note....Iowa's offense is starting to look similar to one New England team.

 

[spiderland]

Turnover would be nice...

 

[F6n6]

Stanley needs 18 more TD passes to tie Chuck Long

 

[ANYCHawk]

On a serious note....Iowa's offense is starting to look similar to one New England team.

University of Vermont?

 

[takai]

No pressure. Get Epenesa in there.

 

[percyland]

Seems like the OL is the opposite of last season. Weak on run blocking but has been solid so far with pass blocking.

 

[like-woahh]

Should probably throw 15 yard flags on every player that does the first down motion as well

 

[millah_22]

Stanley looked good. Easy to give up on a drive after that. Good for him. 9th* TD of the year.

*11th.

 

[And1Hawk]

Play nickel and freaking tackle

 

[desihawk]

I like unt's spirit. Their guys are really busting their asses.

 

[spiderland]

University of Vermont?

No. Tufts.

Whenever they decide to stop playing base D and tackling like a bunch of gangly high schoolers.

 

[MVPFAN]

Iowa D tackling soft as hell the past two games.

 

[BubsFinn]

"Stay tuned after the first quarter as ESPN brings you the Budweiser wave to the sick kids at Kinnick stadium"

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I didn't know the North Texas O was this good

 

[iahawks10]

Still waiting for that TD to be overturned somehow. Are we safe after the kickoff?

No Texas even took a TO after just to see if something would come up.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

these guys better learn to tackle by next week!

 

[anon_8rcdnbko1jbe0]

Tackling is atrocious

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

"Stay tuned after the first quarter as ESPN brings you the Budweiser wave to the sick kids at Kinnick stadium"

WOW, I hope they never let a corporate sponsor involved with that.

 

[ScoutRefugee]

I guess iowa o line is using the olay blocking technique

The turn style of turrible. The look out blocking.

 

[JoelBittner]

Miles Taylor
Weaknesses: Tackling, Covering
Strengths:

Remember Gair the bench warmer? He looked better

 

[And1Hawk]

This D is soft and lacks speed. We'd better keep scoring

 

[BubsFinn]

WOW, I hope they never let a corporate sponsor involved with that.

me too

 

[spiderland]

Should probably throw 15 yard flags on every player that does the first down motion as well

No, because gaining a first down is a significantly greater achievement than scoring a touchdown, and therefore deserving of a player's emotional self-expression...

 

[like-woahh]

This is one really strong onion....
