*****Official New Era Pinstripe Bowl: Boston College Eagles VS. Iowa Hawkeyes Game Thread*****

[Eternal Return]

They FINALLY played man. What the hell was that shit zone all first half?

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Woo 3 and out! Positives!

 

[Sett1997]

Now comes their 70 yard punt.

 

[spiderland]

It was 34, but at least didn’t hit the long snapper in the back.

Progress.

 

[larrygreenwallswildride]

When it comes to Iowa, it's always the other guy...

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

Well since you said it 45 mintues ago, I can believe it.

Aren’t you in NYC?

 

[Sett1997]

At least he didn't let it go.

 

[VicHawkeye]

Alright time for an Iowa touchdown!

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Every play from Iowa from here should be a short pass to the RB (or how 'bout that TD play to Fant - that looked like it would go for 80 at any time)

 

[MepoDawg#]

This is beyond dumb to be playing on this field whether the teams suck or not.

 

[iahawks10]

They might out score Iowa’s offense.

 

[biggreydogs]

Helmet to helmet hit on that punt return

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Doesnt it seem like almost every other play BC has someone moving a split second early?

 

[navyrules]

Iowa is playing poorly but I really think Akrum would have a few big runs already if this field wasn't so god awful.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Both of these coaches should pull their teams off the field. Take an L before someone gets hurt. This playing surface is disgraceful

 

[NI hawk]

BC--258 yards
Iowa--55 yards

Ouch

 

[Eternal Return]

Iowa's starting field position avg - own 44 yd line.

A normal offense’s dream.

They can only score if they start inside the other team's 20 yard line.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Aren’t you in NYC?

not since 2009 (well other than going back once or twice a year)

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Vandy slipped just as he caught that punt. Lucky to hang on.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Iowa's starting field position avg - own 44 yd line.

A normal offense’s dream.

Our Defense and special teams need to get the offense much better field position.... Obviously

 

[Eternal Return]

It was 34, but at least didn’t hit the long snapper in the back.

lol, my bad. I forgot that's a "successful" punt.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Every play from Iowa from here should be a short pass to the RB (or how 'bout that TD play to Fant - that looked like it would go for 80 at any time)

Makes sense...but I see a run to the short side in our future...little risk of anything happening...good or bad.

 

[TDJ7]

Wish the defense could get off the field on 3rd down as well as our offense does.

Mack Brown sucks btw

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Iowa is playing poorly but I really think Akrum would have a few big runs already if this field wasn't so god awful.

He's getting it done in the return game. Butler or Young need the rock now.

 

[markfromj]

That's what message boards are for, kinda...right?

I don't think any medium of communication is to pretend to be able to diagnose something as complex as this.

 

[Eternal Return]

Our Defense and special teams need to get the offense much better field position.... Obviously

Heck they're starting at their own 42. Obviously need to get it inside the other team's 5 yard line for any chance of getting a TD.

 

[iahawks10]

The field conditions neutralize Wadley’s shiftiness. He can’t cut.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

I don't think any medium of communication is to pretend to be able to diagnose something as complex as this.

Our offense is complex?

 

[mustang_horsepower]

really nothing too enjoyable here...

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

not since 2009 (well other than going back once or twice a year)

Good to hear you got out alright.

 

[Sett1997]

Our offense is pure garbage.

Wadley is a freaking stud.

 

[ANYCHawk]

The field conditions neutralize Wadley’s shiftiness. He can’t cut.

Seems to be doing OK on kick returns.

 

[Chewback]

Stanley is easily a better punter

Ha ha! Hilarious. I just got off the phone with my brother and we agreed on exactly that. Iowa has had 3 punts and Stanley's is the longest by a yard and he did a quick kick pooch. I really hate to beat up on a kid but Rastetter is not a real good punter

 

[Eternal Return]

He's getting it done in the return game. Butler or Young need the rock now.

I was worried about Wadley's footing when they announced this game, but a few other posters told me it wouldn't be a problem at all.

 

[amahawk]

Is it even safe for the teams to play on this field?

 

[VicHawkeye]

Our guys aren't giving up. I still expect to win this game.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

He's getting it done in the return game. Butler or Young need the rock now.

Young is out, or so I was told....

 

[iahawks10]

Wadley is a freaking stud.

Great Kid and player. Will be missed, that’s for sure.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Is this field even safe for the teams to play on this field?

It's in the South Bronx, so not even if it was 70 and sunny.

 

[Sett1997]

Stanley has regressed. Seems to happen with all of our qbs.
Hmmm
