*****Official Miami (OH) at IOWA Game Thread*****

[BioHawk]

I think I've just seen two highly effective toss sweeps by Iowa in less than a full quarter of football. Time to get my eyes checked...

Yeah, that play probably won't work as well against most Big 10 teams.

 

[spiderland]

Yeah, that play probably won't work as well against most Big 10 teams.

Except for Nebby, of course.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Has Hesse been in since returning the fumble?

 

[ANYCHawk]

Coming up next: more targeting.

 

[desihawk]

Hope their O is actually a decent one because they are moving the ball on us both on the ground and through the air.

 

[HawkAttackDial911]

Games going great so far but it's obvious the defense has lots of work to do to perform at an elite level.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Hope their O is actually a decent one because they are moving the ball on us both on the ground and through the air.

They return 10 players on offense, but yeah. I haven't been impressed either

 

[brewhawk23]

Defense needs to improve. They have moved the ball on us but thankfully they turned over ball. Good quarter on offense. Offense seems way ahead of defense......

 

[ANYCHawk]

They return 10 players on offense, but yeah. I haven't been impressed either

I'm not to worried. we lost josey early and its clear we are just better so we're not going to anything other than base bend but don't break.

 

[MepoDawg#]

I'll cut the defense some slack for a little bit. First game, defensive leader missing, 21-0 lead.

 

[unoHawkeye]

I'm not to worried. we lost josey early and its clear we are just better so we're not going to anything other than base bend but don't break.

Yeah haven't seen any blitzes or anything crazy either

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Bower ugh.

 

[Forgery5]

Does the defense look shaky to anyone else?

 

[desihawk]

Does the defense look shaky to anyone else?

Yep, the D seems very ordinary at this point.

 

[laidbackdude2011]

Well we are one fumble recovery away from being just 14-7

 

[ANYCHawk]

Well we are one fumble recovery away from being just 14-7

and were two made up interceptions from being up 35-0!

 

[desihawk]

The DTs have been surprisingly moveable. I'd thought Johnson and Ekatitie would be like Gibraltar in the middle.

 

[backinblack23]

The defense hasn't been attacking, they are sort of just playing prevent the big play. Not too worried at this point, I think they are running a pretty base scheme.

 

[SoDakHawk]

Helmet to helmet.

 

[ANYCHawk]

and Bethard just got murdered.

 

[Hawkdogwoof]

Gonna get Beathard killed

 

[desihawk]

Rudock sighting. Ok, just kidding somewhat.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Go back to being first quarter iowa!

 

[SoDakHawk]

Helmet to helmet and no flag.

Look, I think the whole targeting thing is B.S. but if the one play gets Jewel tossed then that hit on CJ should get the Miami player tossed. It was head on head contact right on CJ's kisser.

 

[Qued18]

Does the defense look shaky to anyone else?

Agree

 

[spiderland]

and were two made up interceptions from being up 35-0!

Yeah, but we're also two made up lost fumbles and a blocked punt away from being down 28-0.

 

[brewhawk23]

Well that drive sucked. Let hope the defense can get another TO or stop. Glad Beathard is still alive after that hit......

 

[ANYCHawk]

Yeah, but we're also two made up lost fumbles and a blocked punt away from being down 28-0.

oh I didn't think about that. that would be bad.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Defense needs to ratchet it up. Offense looks pretty good. Happy to see special teams going well so far!

 

[NevadaHawk]

We have some things to work on this week. Even though it is the first game of the year we should be better than this.

 

[ANYCHawk]

and miami nearly gets bailed out on a delay of game call

 

[ANYCHawk]

We have some things to work on this week. Even though it is the first game of the year we should be better than this.

are you watching the same game as the rest of us?

 

[MepoDawg#]

We have some things to work on this week. Even though it is the first game of the year we should be better than this.

Thanks Mr. Obvious. I'd bet all coaches feel this way no matter the outcome of a game.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Wiscy holding their own against LSU. No score yet.

 

[desihawk]

I think they should run CJ a couple times to keep the D honest. Might be the best way to protect his nads.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

We have some things to work on this week. Even though it is the first game of the year we should be better than this.

No kidding, things to work on yes but game is going just fine for being the first game against an inferior opponent.

 

[spiderland]

are you watching the same game as the rest of us?

Well you know there are all those made up interceptions and fumbles and such...

 

[NevadaHawk]

are you watching the same game as the rest of us?

No. I'm listening on the radio.

 

[desihawk]

Wiscy holding their own against LSU. No score yet.

This does not please me. At all.

 

[desihawk]

The D has given up nearly 200 yards in little over a quarter. That's the graphic they just put up. Hope MiamiO has a historic season in their conference this year.
