*****OFFICIAL IOWA vs. USC HOLIDAY BOWL GAME THREAD*****

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Those reverse are going to spread that D line and backers just a little too wide. Should open huge holes between the tackles by the second half.

 

[biggreydogs]

Using skill players to score TD, silly Brian. Tricks are for kids.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Again? Commercial, Kickoff, f’ing commercial?

 

[Moral]

Where was this during the Michigan/Penn State stretch when we couldn’t score a TD?

I was getting a little worried we would never score a TD again during that period.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Hopefully USC’s defense will be sucking wind in the second half.

Likely.

 

[FishersBlue]

Whether USC scores or not on this possession, Iowa needs to make them earn it and take time. No scoring drives of 2 minutes or less.

 

[wilson reborn]

Time to teach this true freshman QB some humility

 

[conn53victor]

I am hoping that we don’t stop USC THEN go conservative.

 

[AJBHawkeye]

Ok i know this has already been said, but why do we need a media break after the PAT, then the kickoff, then another media break?!?!

 

[GolfHacker1]

Brian!

Ferentz!

 

[Herky5]

I think so. Where has this level of play calling been all year??

Not going against a big ten defense

 

[BBHawk]

Ok i know this has already been said, but why do we need a media break after the PAT, then the kickoff, then another media break?!?!

$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[tschissel]

“Exotics” to honor Fry!! Love it!!

 

[hawks_dg]

Where was this during the Michigan/Penn State stretch when we couldn’t score a TD?

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Again? Commercial, Kickoff, f’ing commercial?

Bowl game special.....

 

[brownd7949hawks]

Again? Commercial, Kickoff, f’ing commercial?

Drives are to long

 

[DrVenkman]

The eff are you on.

I love how Iowa is running it.

 

[ClarindaA's]

Ok i know this has already been said, but why do we need a media break after the PAT, then the kickoff, then another media break?!?!

Because the game is flying by due to Iowa eating up clock

 

[Chishawk1425]

Sargent's first down run was key. Looked like a wtf play call but paid off.

That was a helleva call as well.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I am hoping that we don’t stop USC THEN go conservative.

After that 1st drive by USC, I'd hope we wouldn't do that.

 

[BioHawk]

Looks like the Ferentz's see a lot of undisciplined play in the USC defense and are trying to exploit that with a lot of misdirection plays. I love those in an offense.

 

[wyldhawk9]

Two rushing TDs, both by receivers. Calling it now: AJ Epenesa catches a TD tonight.

No.

 

[denmar81]

Parker had plenty of time to make some adjustments during that series. Hopefully he did

 

[unoHawkeye]

they have a defense???

I was referring more to the play calling creativity

 

[briggshawk]

Sargent's first down run was key. Looked like a wtf play call but paid off.

That was a helleva call as well.

This place would have been unbearable if he doesn't make it.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

don't like how they're having success on the ground against us early

 

[O-townHawkstar]

What the Heck D!

 

[millah_22]

What's with all the boos going on?

 

[denmar81]

Every run they’re hit at the line a d get 3or4 yds

 

[desihawk]

Their qb isn't too shabby.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Defense

Every run they’re hit at the line a d get 3or4 yds

Yea. Concerning

 

[BubsFinn]

Our secondary looks like a whale’s vagina. We have to make stops.

 

[83Hawk]

The way things are going so far, I’m not sure our guys are going to put ANY pressure on Slovis.

 

[MWardT]

Receiver on LB there. Not good with no pressure

 

[spiderland]

AJ Espinoza!!!!

 

[desihawk]

Epenesa!!!!!!!

 

[83Hawk]

The way things are going so far, I’m not sure our guys are going to put ANY pressure on Slovis.

Annnnnnd just like that, we get a sack!

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

AJ!

 

[O-townHawkstar]

now lets hold secondary

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Cripes, need to get this QB on the ground
