***** Official Northwestern vs Iowa game thread *****

When was the last time we scored 17 points in the first quarter?

 

[BioHawk]

Right play and he saw the receiver he just didn't have the time. But at least he avoided the sack.

 

[TDJ7]

Iowa bringing that dick heatz today.

"Follow the fullback"

Play action away from the fullback.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Petras didn't have the time to get it to Beyer.

Beyer was too deep. Was going to be out of bounds at that angle.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Petras didn't have the time to get it to Beyer.

Yeaaaaaah..... he had plenty of time and just missed it.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Beyer was too deep. Was going to be out of bounds at that angle.

Too deep and too slow.

 

[CO_hawk]

First missed pass?

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Yeaaaaaah..... he had plenty of time and just missed it.

Actually I am going to take this back. I’m guessing that was a timing play and Petras threw it where he was supposed to, but had to rush it.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Me thinks a big blitz is coming.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

Need to get the stop.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

First missed pass?

No. He overthrew Laporta on a prior one. There may have been others too.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Petras looks really good but he sure stares down receivers.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

"Follow the fullback"

Play action away from the fullback.

Northwestern is getting down hill to the "playside" zone, which is okay IF........Iowa's intention is to set up a big run outside. Most of their zone runs have been inside and aside from Goodson's TD run, which I mostly missed (so maybe it wasn't a zone run), they haven't had all that much success.

I have a feeling though, Iowa is setting them up for a big run play.

 

[iahawks10]

No. He overthrew Laporta on a prior one. There may have been others too.

He was 8-10 after the LaPorta miss

 

[briggshawk]

DLine standing RB's straight up. Doing a great job compared to last week.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

Petras looks really good but he sure stares down receivers.

He needs to fix that and it comes with time and experience.

 

[83Hawk]

I’m a little concerned the Hawks have not run the ball very well so far. Hopefully they can get on track as the game goes on.

And don’t let NW score here!

 

[hknation]

NW with wind, more passing?

 

[denmar81]

Iowa is playing great, but this might be the worst half of a quarter I have ever seen Northwestern play. Not that I'm complaining. I've see Iowa play their worst football against Northwestern more times than I can count.

Pretty much every year since the Hayden era

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[DougFHawkeye]

I can't wait until the first time a pass comes out of the wildcat.

 

[QChawks]

Who’s cutting onions?

 

[AJBHawkeye]

No pressure on the QB, need to fix this

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I was wrong. No blitz. Huge run.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Where was this team last week? Flying to the ball and just playing crisp.

 

[BubsFinn]

"Makes calling the Iowa game 'worth it?'" F- you.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

He was 8-10 after the LaPorta miss

LaPorta honestly should have got that. It wasn’t an ideal throw but you are an Iowa Hawkeye TE so you should get that.

 

[millah_22]

Who was it here the other day that said the Wave sucked?

 

[MWardT]

Glad to see less rotation on the DL. It’s only an 8 game season

 

[QChawks]

D getting pushed around now

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Dang. Come on D

 

[HawkRugged17]

Blitz on third down ... wrong side. 1st down NW.

 

[BioHawk]

FYI: The last

Glad to see less rotation on the DL. It’s only an 8 game season

True, but I also like getting a bunch of people playing time.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

First big test for D on this drive. Need to hold for a FG

 

[BubsFinn]

Nice hit!

 

[DougFHawkeye]

What a hit

 

[Moral]

Who was it here the other day that said the Wave sucked?

Not it. You know my stance on waves.

 

[QChawks]

Ouch

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

WOW. WAS THAT BOB SANDERS?!?
