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

[QChawks]

Line up to Iowa -23.5

O/U 39.5 😆😆😆😆

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

over course of the season both need to carry the load equally. ideally one will step up when the other falters. over the last few seasons the D (and Tory) carried most of the load.
this season however began with a brand new oc, a brand new system, a qb who hasn't played in ages and is recovering from serious injuries. it is very reasonable to know and expect going in that the defense (and ST) must carry the team let's say for the entire ooc while the offense gels and gets fully installed. i don't think that's unreasonable strategy or expectation.

The defense has to be in top form from game one and the offense doesn't.

you deliberately discount the contrast between deploying the same defense with staff continuity and a new oc and offensive system in the context of early games this season.

we all have a soft spot for phil and all that he has accomplished. i'm just talking about the isu game. just look at the defensive stats. look at the manner in which they played a couple of the more important series. it was pathetic. i will concede that 100% was harsh...90% then.

Dude, c'mon.

North Texas v. Texas Tech is in no danger of going to overtime.

Troy is a lot better than Illinois State.

Based on what exactly?

 

[BrewHawk]

Based on what exactly?

My opinion.

 

[kceasthawk]

And as we're told over and over by the board yahoo's the backup QB is the best.

While I'd agree If Cade continues the way he's playing I'd sure like to see what Sullivan has, and not just because Cade is injured either, SURELY you can't be pleased with his play. Why did we bring Sullivan in and tell him he could compete for the job? I think he'd be fine being QB2 this year IF Cade was lighting it up, but thats clearly not the case.

 

[kceasthawk]

Enough with the new OC, new system, QB is rusty, etc excuses. That's what practice is for. This team has 17-19 returning starters (depending on who's numbers you go with)...it's veteran. "They're not ready yet" is bullshit.

Yep, no excuse when you have possibly the oldest and most experienced team ever in college football, especially on defense, and then the Clones went through the D like shit through a goose in the 4th quarter.

 

[BonzoFury]

Brown and Wetjen maybe could be big play guys but for some reaosn they dont touch the ball or get in the game

Risk management vs big plays. Sound familiar?

Cade wasn't the only Hawkeye to stink it up so how many should we bench?

 

[BonzoFury]

they put up 19 points and 30+ TOP. not enough but massively better than last year. yet we lost. you tell me where the drop-off (which was massive) occurred last week.

I'd say from the second quarter on, Iowa was outcoached. Reality is, we've had 3 or 4 quarters of good offensive football out of 8. 2 against an out-manned FCS team.

Hawks 34 Troy 10

 

[helicopters in the sewer]

Ferentz gives the game away like last week. And then he'll blame the defense.

Nice stop defense

 

[BubsFinn]

We're still having the motion man moving toward the line at the snap. We need to fix that.

 

[IowaMeatMan]

High snaps

 

[HawkeyeFever62]

Why are there so many white jerseys in the backfield as soon as johnson gets the ball?

 

[Etalicus]

Really thought it was going to be 3 and out.
Good job converting
