*****The Official Iowa vs Missouri Game Thread*****

Sullivan certainly has the physical tools, just doesn't have it above the shoulders as a football player/quarterback in general. He just doesn't look confident out there and looks like he has no interest in taking charge. Kirk needs a QB that takes charge.......Drew Tate, Ricky Stanzi etc. At this point, the QB competition should be wide open going into next year.
Though.
That was a helluva play down to the 1.
 
I am tired of Kirk but I think Parker is way over rated. No pressure all day. Let an experienced quarterback stand in the pocket and pick apart a slow secondary

I disagree. He did a ton more than any qb we have had in the last 5 years. Needs more experience and reps.
Ummm i forsee a qb that wants to run on eveyplay because he does not stay in the pocket even though he has time

There isn’t anyone in the qb room I have any confidence in. Thought Sully could do it but he didn’t look comfortable in the second half. I don’t think there’s a qb that has
confidence in this o-line to give them enough protection. I could only watch part of the 2nd half but IMO the entire o-line could hit the portal.

Sully had like 88 yards passing in the first half and everyone here was going happy bananas. 88 passing yards! Is that how far we have fallen? This reminds me so much of Haydens last few years. Next years schedule ain't gonna be good. We won't go bowling.
I was thinking the same... I think most of the WRs on Miami's roster had more yardage individually than our entire offense did...

The bar is so low, we now get a hard on over 88 yards...

Hey....amember when we had a 10-point lead?

Castro no Shulte yes
What's discouraging is that there were no younger guys pushing them, so there was no urgency to perform because they weren't in danger of losing their anointed position.

#30 played soft except for that roughing penalty that ultimately cost Iowa this game.
Schulte wouldn't be playing on too many other P4 teams.
 
The last play call definitely degraded into moronism.

Was there one TFL for a RB going up the middle today? I don't remember one.

Why do a QB sneak?
Should have changed the play when Missouri had everyone defending it. Had no chance. Of course qb’s can’t audible at Iowa

That was craig but to your point shulte would be too soft for late hit out of bounds
 
Shock bad clock management. Once short run up don’t let them get set. But we take over 20 seconds for that sh!t show play.

Sullivan is not a staring caliber qb
Which is just what KF wants in a starting QB.
Can’t say I’m surprised, we’ve seen this 2nd half performance before.

I'll be back and ready to go in the fall, but right now, I'm pissed that they pissed that game away. Sometimes I think OC's outthink themselves. Patterson and Moulton (and the OL) were winning the run game all game long, yet at times Lester felt compelled to try something different. And it consistently failed. For the defense, Parker's DBs did not defend more than 2 or 3 passes all day. But it wasn't all on them. The DL, after the first two series, put no real pressure on Cook, and you give that guy time, he'll do exactly what he did to Iowa. No blitzes to speak of all day, to try to throw Cook off his rhythm. All around crappy game.

I was harsh on the players, but as I calm down a bit, it really was way more the coaches who did not put the team in a position to win this game. Rather, the approach was to hold on for dear life. And then to ask the players to turn it on at the end of the game, after playing an entire half of trying to suck the life out of the game? Of course that wasn't going to happen. The players were not put in a position to succeed, so they didn't. A clinic on how to coach a team to a loss.
