*****The Official Iowa vs Illinois State Game Thread*****

[Hawkeyesgonewild]

I give up

 

[Chishawk1425]

Think he may have got it not because of the OL but a terrible spot

 

[Roncuba55]

Our O line is a bunch of pussies. Bring back Doyle!

 

[desihawk]

i think the goal might be for the offense to be peaking about the time of first round of playoffs

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

This is embarrassing. It really is.

 

[BubsFinn]

The entire left side of the line didn't block anybody.

 

[NevadaHawk]

I would like to see the young OLs play

 

[hawkirugged17]

Wow. 4th and 2 ... Moulton gets hit behind the line and lunges ... but no.

 

[2D_]

Terrible spot

 

[bdcolt45er]

I like that we went for it.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Looked a bit closer than that spot

 

[MWardT]

that was a bad spot. But punt the ball

 

[desihawk]

even if didn't get it i like lester went for it...looks like he's challenging the line to do something

 

[TDJ7]

Bad spot. still short i think

 

[TRHawkeye145]

****ing embarrassing

 

[Chishawk1425]

Yeah, I agree, but Kirk has a hard-on for immobile quarterbacks. Brad Banks was just too sexy for him.

Yep remember 2001 season well. I was at the Michigan game. Banks came in for a few drives and led us to points but kept putting McCann back in

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I mean ... If you are going to go for it on 4th down.... Play action on 3rd and short.

Same sh*t as last year

 

[denmar81]

Challenge that

 

[Mister_Man]

Common denominator = same blocking scheme. It's like trying to win at Techmo Bowl when they know exactly which button combination you press.

 

[Franisdaman]

Time for the Brendan Sullivan era.

 

[ButtersHawk]

I swear to god there is a playbook from 1998 that Kirk forces every OC to use

 

[MitchLL]

That OLine is impressive.

NOT

 

[BlIIlken2]

Hope people like Nashville in December

 

[VodkaSam]

Was really looking forward to a new season and the Iowa offense not putting me to sleep for a few minutes during a game…

Oh well…Maybe next year 🙁

 

[2D_]

He got to the line to gain, his knees didn't hit the ground when he lunged forward. That's a first down.

 

[curtisj157]

Yeah, that’s definitely part of it.

Yes, even a vanilla offense should score against Illinois State.

The Iowa offense is still outdated and garbage. It’s not going to work in the Big Ten.

11 straight quarters without a touchdown. Our oline remains garbage.

 

[Chishawk1425]

He was short after seeing where he had the ball in his arms.

 

[WEH8ST8HAWK]

Once AGAIN Mason Richman touches no one. The coaches that play this guy are complete idiots!

 

[ISPHawk]

Richman is terrible!

 

[Tom Paris]

Wow. 4th and 2 ... Moulton gets hit behind the line and lunges ... but no.

Stupid playcall too. No creativity.

 

[feces hurling monkey]

On 4th and short there's always a guy coming around the end completely unblocked. Seems like every time.

 

[Derekd3408]

You have a trash offense, punt the ball and don't put any mote pressure on the D you ****ing bums.

 

[uihawk82]

Stupid call to go on 4th. especially not a play action call against 11 in the box more or less

 

[Bierhalter]

They got our snap count down now? Nice.

 

[SoDakHawk]

Backside penetration is killing the running game.

 

[longliveCS40]

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

not even upset about not getting that 4th down call. At this point if it takes Iowa 4 downs to actually be a threat to score, that’s just masking the problem.

 

[jhawkinaz]

there always seems to be a guy flying in from the outside unblocked.

 

[10kHawk]

Worse blocked play I ever seen, even on the back side

 

[BubsFinn]

Our d-back got beat by a walk on true freshman.
