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

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Trash.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Hey Kirk, the goal is to score points and stuff like that.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

I hate to say folks.......

But the advent of the new BIG........Iowa might go back to doormat status under the current regime.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Doesn’t matter who the OC is

3rd and long will always be

Tell me that KF doesn’t control the offense

Anybody who thought Tim Lester was going to be different is ..... Well dreaming

 

[Heathen Raider]

Barnett has had the same Guys and 4 years and they are getting owned by a Team that is worse than Alabama's scout team, He should have been fired with Brian, He is a total epic failure and this group of OL is the worst senior group I have seen in 30 Years or more at Iowa ,

 

[Thunderlips71]

KF looks like he's 95 years old....

He coaches like it, too

 

[millah_22]

McNamara at Michigan is proof you don't need a good QB to make the playoffs.........but you do need an OL, and Iowa ain't got one.

he had 2 RBs go for over 950 yards that year.

Yeah, the pre-Hayden days are on the way.

 

[Bierhalter]

We saw not seeing an open receiver last week, too.

View embedded media

He doesn't have the arm strength to make that throw, probably has been coached that that type of pass risks a turnover too much as well.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Announcers forced to make punting dramatic when calling Iowa games, lol

Punting is winning

 

[FranisnottheMan]

LaVAR foR hEAd CoACH

No thank you

 

[hawkdave007]

Good thing Barnett has a job still.

There's nothing else to see at this point. This isn't Michigan with a natty level D line and sign stealing. This is Troy of the Fun Belt, and we can't consistently pass block against them.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

sleeping giant woke up today unfortunately

They are petitioning to join the Big 10...the Sun Belt is a meat grinder.

TRUTH! I don’t see Kirk Ferentz ball faring well against the new additions.

 

[QChawks]

Well, the good news is the defense made a stop. The bad news is we have to watch the offense come out.

 

[sellarsd]

The Michigan staff when McNamara announced he was entering the portal

 

[Chishawk1425]

Nope hence the predictable. Started in 2001 and continues 23 years later. Lol

I’ve said it for years. Nothing changes as long as he’s here. He’s a godawful offensive coach.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Why is it that a safety and corner can get pulled because of performance but a quarterback never can?

 

[HawkBall23]

That was clear DPI by Harris, but just like last week, refs went with the "play on" there.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

That’s it. I’m gonna head to Beetlejuice. I can’t watch this whole game.

Give us a no spoiler review afterwards.

Doodle may want to see that one.

 

[desihawk]

we got away with pi i think

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Why is it that a safety and corner can get pulled because of performance but a quarterback never can?

Because Kirk was affected by something in his childhood. It’s part of who he is.

 

[Etalicus]

He got kicked in the head

 

[desihawk]

That was clear DPI by Harris, but just like last week, refs with with the "play on" there.

yeah but they are letting them do a lot of holding so i think it's okay

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Yeah, the pre-Hayden days are on the way.

They don’t have to be.

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Yeah, the pre-Hayden days are on the way.

If we could lure Brian away from Maryland we have a chance to be elite.

 

[FranisnottheMan]

Which lackey Iowa sportswriter will be the first to say Iowa can still make the playoff?

 

[BubsFinn]

Kick in the head is not a flag now?

 

[ISPHawk]

This feels like the start of where it gets really bad before changes are made and it gets better....hopefully.

 

[Bierhalter]

awesome no call, refs

won't see Johnson again

 

[iahawks10]

They don’t call the late hit, but make KJ come out. Makes sense

 

[desihawk]

that was egregious head stomping

 

[QChawks]

KJ out

perrfect

 

[Chishawk1425]

And Johnson with a concussion from a flying knee?!

 

[iahawks10]

Cade, you can hit a receiver in stride. That is legal.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Lachey good catch on a low throw from Cade.

 

[Iafootballfan]

Even the completions are bad throws.

 

[ButtersHawk]

Reeks of a high expectation year resulting in a 7-5 season
