********Official Penn State at Iowa Game thread ********

Kirk's been running clock since opening kick-off. Now that he has the lead, wonder if he'll get friskier.
 
Barkley heisman hopes are withering so that is something.

He has most of their yards. Their problem is McSorely is having a bad passing game, unbelievably, maybe Iowa defense is in his head. Brincks either is a stud or that Penn State OT is terrible.

It's unbelievable the defensive effort in the 1st half. PSU basically started every drive on the 50 and only put up 3 points. Iowa can barely get a first down, gives up a safety, Penn St. chucks and turnover and Iowa is up at 1/2 with only 50 yards of offense.

This game is just... silly. Man I hope the defense can keep up this effort and the offense makes some adjustments.

I was kinda glad about the safety. With the Iowa punters that would have been at least 3 for P. With the safety - it flipped the field a little.

Expecting the D to keep this up is asking for too much. I've seen this script before and it doesn't end well unless Iowa's offense also starts pulling more weight.

It definitely is asking too much, but if the offense can pick it up and defense even performs at 75% of what they did in the 1st half, Iowa has the advantage.
 
Question:

Why not go for two after the TD?

Not trying to be a downer. I'm ecstatic after showing some offensive life.

u seem to be correct. Iowa and bad field position meant the usual script: 2 runs for zero and 3rd and long pass short of the sticks followed by 30 yard punt. PSU was going to score a TD on that short field, it was matter of time.

The offense BETTER step up or the DEFENSE is gonna be gassed

Injury updates?
 
If it wasn't so hot I'd feel better about the D in the second half. GO HAWKS.
