[desihawk]

The real star of the iowa team gets to show his stuff

 

[QChawks]

Going to be a loooooong year boyz

 

[Franisdaman]

3 and out

yikes.

 

[FranisnottheMan]

3 and out. What a shock

 

[justinjdry]

I waited all summer for this new and improved offense?!

 

[Derekd3408]

Offense is in last season form.

 

[Roncuba55]

Meh

 

[Franisdaman]

Going to be a loooooong year boyz

i have never seen you so optimistic

 

[HawkOptimist]

Up the gut.
Up the gut.
Incomplete pass.
Punt.

Same old, same old.

 

[desihawk]

3 and out iowa offense. the world sighs in relief. everything is still as it should be. sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

 

[giveitall]

Wow, definitely excited and fired up for this offense already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BubsFinn]

3 and out

yikes.

You'd better get comfortable with the concept.

 

[TailgateTom]

Welp SSDD

 

[QChawks]

What an embarrassing first drive

 

[7thsummitcoach]

Well. That looked familiar.

 

[madmustang4]

Only one possession , but didn’t see anything positive from O line.

 

[2D_]

I hope the OLine improves over the course of the year. If it doesn't, Barnett has to go. Don't care how much the kids like him.

 

[Mister_Man]

ESPN play by play is not working. Now I am thankful for that.

 

[desihawk]

i have never seen you so optimistic

i used to think that but now i know that's just his way to juju us to 10+ wins.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Online got blown up all 3 plays of that worthless first possession.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

The imagination is staggering

 

[2D_]

i have never seen you so optimistic

I muted Quick to Cry Hawks. Dude's posts are insufferable.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Uhhm…those formations and plays are about as Brian Ferentz as it gets.

I don’t see a single difference in anything.

 

[doughuddl2]

Podolak pre game said expect to see pretty much the same offense. Damn!

 

[AEG82]

Well. That looked familiar.

Yes, it certainly did lol.

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]

Well. That looked familiar.

Like finding the other shoe also with a worn out sole and no laces.

 

[BubsFinn]

What an embarrassing first drive

We didn't take a sack.
We didn't fumble.
We didn't throw and interception.
The drive ended with a kick.

We met 100% of Kirk's goals.

 

[BigOHawk]

I demand a victory

 

[win1forthe]

Just because the oline is experienced doesn’t mean they’re good…because they aren’t.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

And it's 3 and out. Fire Kirk!

FIFY

 

[Stormn Norman]

Welp, that was a very feeble and faint offensive pulse there on that one.. if Monty Burns was an season opening offensive drive he’d look like that

 

[Wadzinator]

My God! It was one series!Yes it looked the same old same old But let's pump the brakes a little!

 

[ButtersHawk]

This Oline is high on experience and low on talent

 

[NevadaHawk]

Sack by Graves

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Well, at least the offense still sucks.

 

[Franisdaman]

The Graves Digger

 

[justinjdry]

Meanwhile, Maryland already has 4 first downs and are in the red zone.

 

[desihawk]

Uhhm…those formations and plays are about as Brian Ferentz as it gets.

I don’t see a single difference in anything.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Going to be a loooooong year boyz

If that’s what’s to come from the offense, yeah.

Boring AF. No imagination. No motion. Nothing. Just the same boring junior high school offense from the 1990s.

 

[millah_22]

Their thousand yard rusher down 3 minutes into the game 😬
