Looking like a B10 team now. Good to see. Good job by the guys to keep pushing and get after it. Playing with much more confidence now. Strong work, Hawks.

 

[Typical Situation]

That TD was all effort by Martin. Nice determined run.

 

[brewhawk23]

Bout damn time. IKM and Young are gonna be a good combo this year. Plus Sargant thrown in there will help too.

 

[flyfishstout_CO]

Fullback looks like he has has a bigger beer belly than me...

 

[ConvenientParking]

We have looked a LOT worse than this in openers before. They're moving the ball some, just haven't punched it in yet. It will happen in the third quarter.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Crickets from Sutton Smith. So much for smacking us in the face.

 

[mustang_horsepower]

Ok I am paranoid but haven't seen Hoch.

Announcers mentioned he went locker room but no reason given...

 

[texhawk88]

Any idea why Toren didn't get a carry until the second half??

Probably by design. IKM the main back. Alternated with Sargeant in 1half, now Young in 2nd.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Finally....getting the backs to bounce cut outside and let them win one on one matchups.

Got NIU to suck in and from there it was on IKM breaking would-be one on one tacklers.


Also, Young running with that body blow mentality. I love it!

AJ BRINGING THE HEAT!!!!!!!

Any idea why Toren didn't get a carry until the second half??

A fresh Toren Young against a worn down defense doesn’t bode well for the defense. Dude is a tank.

At least that’s my explanation haha

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

EPENESA!!!!!

 

[DougFHawkeye]

EPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Welch cramping up - and AJ with the huge sackle

 

[spiderland]

AJ sighting...

 

[ANYCHawk]

AJ MAN CHILD!

 

[unoHawkeye]

AJE!!!

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

Announcers mentioned he went locker room but no reason given...

I already covered this. It was to take a dump.

(fingers crossed)

 

[DougFHawkeye]

lucky there...wake up Nate

 

[takai]

Hey that Epenesa kid looks like he could be a good football player

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Any idea why Toren didn't get a carry until the second half??

Not sure, but he’s running like he wasn’t real happy about it.

 

[desihawk]

And that was going against an AA LT. Scharping didn't give up a single sack I believe in 2017.
AJ!

 

[flyfishstout_CO]

Defense is having fun now

 

[ConvenientParking]

Where's Welch going?

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

IKM running angry like his pal, Toren. Love it.

 

[StallmanCurse]

Eppy! First sack Sharping has given up in 2+ years. Sutton who?

 

[ANYCHawk]

I already covered this. It was to take a dump.

(fingers crossed)

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

wearing 'em down - kirk better pile it on. No Mr nice guy today.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Where's Welch going?

Jimmy John’s

 

[spiderland]

Hey that Epenesa kid looks like he could be a good football player

He’s no Sutton Smith...

 

[WestIAHawk]

Where's Welch going?

IV

 

[IowaMeatMan]

Keep your foot on the gas in the 4th Hawks!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Welch cramping up - and AJ with the huge sackle

Sackles!!!

 

[Osiris_99]

Wearing NIU down a bit I think

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

He’s no Sutton Smith...

Funny how running your mouth before a game has a way of coming back to bite you in the rump.

 

[mill1634]

His foot is pointing the wrong way coming off the field

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

FULLBACK DIVE!!! F*** YES!!

 

[BubsFinn]

Keep your foot on the gas in the 4th Hawks!

You must be new here.

I was at the game that Big Ben did the same thing and laid a huge egg
