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

[BubsFinn]

Holy shit, hell has frozen over.

 

[HawkBall23]

Just handoffs from here on out. Who woulda guessed that.

But stunned that they took CM out already.

 

[BlIIlken2]

211 yards of offense in the first half
229 this half.

I don’t care about level of competition…this offense is much better.

I’m trying to calm myself down. They had 2 bombs against our worst DB and an awful punt led to an easy punt return.

This is a lot of points in 2 cupcake games and lost to our rival by losing ourselves….

 

[millah_22]

LET HIM THROW

 

[iahawks10]

Hall back in. Our CB room must not be good

Hopefully it was just one package because Harris and Lee were in too. Maybe they moved him out of CB.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Oh good, Hall is back in.

Good call.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

its just frustrating that the 21 were on 3 big plays that were easily avoidable.

T.J. Hall has not made us forget Cooper DeJean.....

 

[NevadaHawk]

Kudos to LaDell Betts for the great job of coaching our RBs

 

[sellarsd]

Great call! Bring in Sullivan when you only plan to hand the ball off. I guess that prevents him from proving he's a better passer than McNamara.

 

[desihawk]

who's howard #7?

 

[Bierhalter]

KF crying again? C'mon man

 

[Herkylian]

I can never understand why they being bring in a backup QB in situations like this only to have them hand off?? Isn't the goal to get him game experience and for my dumb perspective that includes being able to throw the ball.

 

[Shafthawk]

Troy coach likes to chew his gum with his mouth open

LET HIM THROW

Play action on 3rd and 1 to Ostrenga.

my guess is its to get him comfortable, confident and help slow the game down.

this lester fella is a very different cat

 

[luvmyhawks]

What is the harm in letting Sullivan cook here? Let him throw the ball.

 

[Etalicus]

A qb run

 

[Bierhalter]

Hopefully it was just one package because Harris and Lee were in too. Maybe they moved him out of CB.

This is what I was thinking. Nickel/dime back.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

who's howard #7?

Freshman WR from Kansas…

 

[iahawks10]

Troy coach likes to chew his gum with his mouth open

Kirk is a mouth closed type of gum chewin’ coach

 

[birthhawk]

Great call! Bring in Sullivan when you only plan to hand the ball off. I guess that prevents him from proving he's a better passer than McNamara.

Don't need a qb controversy. Passes at the knees should be our expectation.

 

[obfuscating]

Hall, get ready. They're coming your way.

Surprised they didn't, I would have gone after him every time

 

[IowaMeatMan]

We win, but ugly it was!

 

[HawkBall23]

So if not for Hall and that punt return, Iowa won 38-0 today.


Still would like to see more points on the board against inferior competition, but takes a very slight bit out of the sting of last week's shitshow.

Probably chews his food that way

 

[desihawk]

two minutes to watch sullivan play

 

[Garbanzo Joe]

This was an 0-2 Troy team. You can't get away with the crap against good teams. Everything from an hour ago stands. KFz is tired and done. We're going to get our ass kicked in the B1G

Gigantic sized nugget of truth in this statement.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

KF crying again? C'mon man

Allergies maybe?🤔

 

[desihawk]

We win, but ugly it was!

unfair to say we won ugly. 38 points and counting and we are still ugly. cmon man.

 

[desihawk]

time to up lester's contract terms to 35ppg

 

[iahawks10]

two minutes to watch sullivan play

Before that, Sullivan ran four plays with two TDs.

 

[BlIIlken2]

unfair to say we won ugly. 38 points and counting and we are still ugly. cmon man.

With over 200 yards a half!

 

[desihawk]

troy put up 21.
do we win without lester as oc?

 

[HawkBall23]

Not for me. This team was embarrassing for half a game. That's not gonna work the rest of the season.

We know what we've got with KF, man.

I'm ok with just winning games - however it happens - because I know to expect any more than that is just folly and only disappointment awaits.


Kirk Ferentz coaches the game (offensively) like the players are still wearing leather helmets, the football fields are mud pits with some dirty white lines scrawled about them and the forward pass has yet to become a fad that's caught on.

 

[BubsFinn]

troy put up 21.
do we win without lester as oc?

If Brian is still OC? No.
If virtually anyone else is OC? Yes.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

troy put up 21.
do we win without lester as oc?

It would be a close call…maybe a 1 point win…🙄

 

[Here_4_a_Day]

Cade ... good throw to ... Brown! 1st down!

RAH!!

 

[millah_22]

So if not for Hall and that punt return, Iowa won 38-0 today.

More points would be nice, but the O is averaging over 100 yards per game more than this point last season. Which is very nice.

 

[Here_4_a_Day]

How ugly does it get when Johnson gets hurt?
