*****THE OFFICIAL IOWA VS TROY GAME THREAD*****

[BonzoFury]

It may be too high. Combine the inability to throw the ball with a propensity for giving up big plays in the secondary and we may be looking at a long season.

Losing record. Seriously, who would this team beat that's on the schedule?

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Why do we put up with this shit? I can't honestly think of a really enjoyable moment watching Iowa football the last few years.

Gold Member irony

 

[Thunderlips71]

Purticulating down for a score?

It’s because Lester doesn’t yet have the pieces at his disposable

 

[desihawk]

iowa secondary being made love to with tenderness

 

[509er]

What’s the deal with Nwankpa? Benched?

 

[Herkylian]

And this is the backup QB? I can't wish for good things and I'm sure he wouldn't do anything In our offense but God bless 😭

 

[Bank of Hawk]

What a novel concept: third down and throw the ball past the first down mark

 

[HawkBall23]

Its a 10-7 game with under 5 minutes to halftime, at home vs 0-2 Troy, and Troy is driving.


I love Kirk Ferentz's coaching mentality & stubbornness so much.


👎

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

The real question is, does Cade throw the backbreaking interception before halftime or after?

Yes

 

[desihawk]

No holding call on that play?

it was awful and blatant

 

[NevadaHawk]

Poor DB play

 

[DEMGR]

Castro got his helmet ripped off. Easy penalty missed.

 

[MitchLL]

Wow, Hall gives a big cushion, bites on the fake and is toasted. Might as well play bump and run

Hall is...not good.

 

[IowaMeatMan]

Come on D!

 

[MWardT]

What’s the deal with Nwankpa? Benched?

He didn’t practice most of camp and it’s evident

 

[Zooropa_NCR]

Troy got the better OC this year

 

[Bierhalter]

why did they stop the clock for 10 seconds before we called TO

 

[Tom Paris]

Why do we put up with this shit? I can't honestly think of a really enjoyable moment watching Iowa football the last few years.

I figured there would be more people like me who would give up their season tickets. People still pay to watch this crap.

 

[HawkRose]

Our Dline is suspect for first time in awhile. Little pressure being applied to these scrubs

 

[BubsFinn]

Great usage of timeouts, Kirk. There's no chance we may want to use them on offense to try to score before halftime.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Wonder if Troy just passes every down and abandons the run

 

[denmar81]

Throw it to the sideline. Corner playing 8 yds off then back peddles. It’s a gimme.

 

[QChawks]

KF Career

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Are these the dumbest announcers in the history of CFB announcing?

"He has to sit out still....right?"

f----ing idiot.

 

[desihawk]

statistically this game is tied on almost all metrics

 

[AEG82]

Not because they don't think it should...because they know Kirk is too stubborn so it won't.

Yep. Just go KF. It's time, well, it's been time for more than a decade now, but just stop with this nonsense. Ride off into the sunset and all that stuff.

 

[herky86]

get?

I was holding out hope that I could delay the heavy drinking until I could be the kind of drunk who’s all smiles and unicorns. Now it’s just a matter of time before I’m a blubbering, unsteady mess.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

This is the drive where Cade throws a momentum shifting pick

 

[509er]

He didn’t practice most of camp and it’s evident

Thanks

 

[QChawks]

sounds about right

we should be a SWAC team

 

[BetterLuckNextTime]

It’s true, I really have a hard time cheering, so ready for this regime to be over.

Exactly! Every game sucks. Keep the other team close. Clock mismanagement, head scratching calls. Play to the level of competition. By the mid-third quarter I'm always just ready for the game to end.

 

[Etalicus]

We need to drive this for 7 this is the critical drive

 

[Stoopsbrother]

Get ready for 3 handoffs & a punt

 

[BubsFinn]

There's a 100% chance that Troy gets the ball back before halftime. Guaranteed. No way we can burn 3:33 of the clock. Absolutely no chance we get into scoring position.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

statistically this game is tied on almost all metrics

Certainty looks like a battle against similarly talented teams...sure hope that changes soon

 

[desihawk]

with dejean i think we would've cruised all 3 games. just one player.

 

[shrinkhawk]

Lets definitely not play the 6 ft 4 mobile qb.

 

[QChawks]

I can’t imagine paying money to go watch this game

 

[hawkandroll]

the Sullivan package was a nice troll job

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

We're pushing it down field now...that was a 4 yard out route boys
