Petras said Iowa State earned this victory

[Hawktheworld]

Also "congrats." AND he doesn't get much exposure... only games.

I'd rather listen to Jbo talk at this point.

Why not use Nevada to get qb2 ready?Nobody gains from sp playing next week.

 

[Dude McHawks]

I feel bad for him. Who the hell trots out a shell shocked QB with a QBR of .8 for every snap of two full games

 

[MWardT]

The box score shows Iowa State was the better team by far. Incredible that Iowa still had a chance in this game when they were outplayed so badly

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

I think he knows he doesn't have IT.

 

[Hawktheworld]

Agreed, I still don't want to hear "loser speech" but it's not his fault that he's out there.

 

[kwik44]

Definition of insanity?

 

[gahawk1108]

Boy he watched some quality KF presser film for that interview. If he payed that much attention to the game field and practice he’d win the Heisman

Score pretty much reflected the reality of this game. Neither team dominated.

Padilla and Labas should take all the one's snaps this week. SP should be standing on the sideline, not even the scout team.

 

[JStandefer]

I think Terry Roberts was so upset that he didn’t have a pick 6 because, that was our only opportunity as a team to win.

+1. He knew it the moment it happened.

We're wasting a great D on a throwaway year because of the offense.

Padilla either is injured or just not good enough at this point
Give it to Labas and May

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Padilla and Labas should just leave, it's bs that they sit there calling in signs. Both Ferentz's need to go... the heat is on!

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

How many times did SP miss Bruce and other receivers with horrible throws? Pathetic.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I feel bad for him. Who the hell trots out a shell shocked QB with a QBR of .8 for every snap of two full games

Yep. I have no ill-will toward Petras. He’s giving it his all. This is entirely on Kirk for continuing to put Spencer in this position.

Kirk is the one who deserves all the fan ire.

Bruce would have scored if he stayed on his feet before the goalline fumble. We would have gone up 14-3.

 

[JStandefer]

Bruce would have scored if he stayed on his feet before the goalline fumble. We would have gone up 14-3.

And yet we relied on the Iowa offense to get it in there.

 

[rchawk]

Petras is right.

 

[iahawks10]

He also said 3 or 4 plays were on him. Double or triple that, at least.

 

[JStandefer]

This is Lickilter-esque

 

[grayhair81]

+1. He knew it the moment it happened.

That great defense didn't touch Dekkers the entire game and gave up a 21-play, 99-yard drive. The back seven is very good. The front four is average at best.

 

[cecilB]

I’m always amazed at people that play the ‘pick up your ball and cry’ responses.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Don't worry. Spence practices super duper well. Bring on Bama!!!

 

[JStandefer]

That great defense didn't touch Dekkers the entire game and gave up a 21-play, 99-yard drive. The back seven is very good. The front four is average at best.

Are you kidding? How demoralizing is it when you keep putting out fires for the one weak link in a complementary concept football?

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Charlie Jones and Deuce Hogan say hello, seems to work out for them. To play behind this garbage and the coaches not making any changes is reason enough. Just wait and watch for the portal. They are a leaving!

 

[cecilB]

Charlie Jones is persona non grata. Doing what he did, WHEN he did it, hoe he did it is nothing to be admired(I’m sure he’s having fun).
The other guy riding the pine elsewhere, just as he did here - who cares

 

[grayhair81]

I am not making any excuses for KF, BF, SP, or anything related to the offense. They are unimaginably bad. This defensive line has been talked up the entire off season. The reality-they are undersized and ineffective. Van Valkenberg was the best of the bunch by far last year.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I think he knows he doesn't have IT.

So grab a dang red hat

Dekker's specialty is dumping off short passes. Did it all through highschool.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Well he ought to know. After all.....he practices so damn well.

 

[LIV4GOD]

Or he said something really taboo.

 

[MVPFAN]

I must have missed it. What has Hogan done since leaving?

 

[Hawktagonapus]

The game would have been out of reach by that point with even a mediocre offense.

 

[grayhair81]

True. But that doesn't negate what I said.

 

[warriors dad]

I would take that in a hearbeat.

KF is about family and not the program. He has a 49M reason why. Thanks Gary.

That is beyond poor coaching. I believe the the kid tried his hardest, but his hardest wasn't good enough. SP should have been pulled just to give him a break. It is all mental now. You could tell by his post game interview

 

[destro72]

Spencer has earned the right to park in the handicapped spot.

 

[Wadzinator]

Definition of insanity?

Repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results!

 

[MitchLL]

Bruce would have scored if he stayed on his feet before the goalline fumble. We would have gone up 14-3.

Because the pass took too long to get to him. Petras lobbed it because he can't "zip" anything and be remotely accurate. Petras "pushed" that pass and Bruce lost his stride waiting for it.

I have no sympathy for SP because if he had any self respect... he'd tell the coaches to take him out.
