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

[Zooropa_NCR]

Scoreless first Q

Exactly where we want to be.

Also not sure anyone could have been as bad as Hill, but Cade is approaching that level.

His body isn’t going to hold up. He looks really really slow

 

[TheRealHerky]

This is the worst stretch of OL play I’ve seen in any 4 year stretch under KF. Couple that with the worst stretch of QB play and you have this garbage. This looks 2012 bad

I don’t care what anyone “thinks” they know, the firing of Chris Doyle was a watershed moment in Iowa Offensive football. It’s been downhill ever since.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

But hey, why try anyone different?

 

[HawkinMN]

Dear Kirk,

I hope you get hemorrhoids and constipation at the same time, then when you strain to poop your hemorrhoids burst so you fill the toilet with your butt blood. You suck.

Don't sugarcoat it, give it to us straight.

 

[CatCoach]

Lachey is terrible at blocking as well.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Ok does Iowa suck or does Cade suck??

Both.

The OL is terrible. Cade is not accurate.

This offense is still a joke.

 

[AEG82]

Well, after 1 quarter, at least we know Eyes is happy with the result.

 

[BubsFinn]

Cade got the 1st down. Bad spot.

No he didn't. It wasn't close.

 

[millah_22]

Cade got the 1st down. Bad spot.

looked clearly short to me.

 

[Etalicus]

Ok does Iowa suck or does Cade suck??

Maybe both we got sucked into thinking something else this off season. Hopefully we pull our heads out of our arses

 

[desihawk]

And the fat offensive line is back to sucking.

this is a iowa OL with credible size but can't get push worth a yard in two tries against a lower division team

 

[bansheexyz]

CM shouldve passed that ball to the endzone, defender has his back turned. At worst it's knocked down. Instead he tries to run for it when he has no legs.

 

[herkyhawk00]

This is the worst stretch of OL play I’ve seen in any 4 year stretch under KF. Couple that with the worst stretch of QB play and you have this garbage. This looks 2012 bad

We have the most experienced OL of the KF era and it just shows how bad things are. Isn’t Colby the third player in the KF era to start as a freshman on the OL? Just terrible coaching/recruiting.

 

[CatCoach]

Good thing we worked on Red Zone offense this week.

 

[gohawks999]

That 3rd down play was an easy 1st down for our #2 or #3 qb. They couldn’t possibly be a poorer passer than Cade.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Kirk would like to have a 3 point lead, but will take a 0-0 score at end of first.

 

[tweeterhawk]

This gon’ be a longggggg season.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

2:35 run play 1st quarter....... our line looked like the Keystone Cops.

They have for a few years now…🥲

 

[Thunderlips71]

This is the worst stretch of OL play I’ve seen in any 4 year stretch under KF. Couple that with the worst stretch of QB play and you have this garbage. This looks 2012 bad

For the last 4 years all the Kirk homers have cried, “But, but, but they’re young. Just wait til they get experience. You’ll see!”

 

[obfuscating]

So, I got confirmation today that KF hands his coaches a booklet and says "this is what "X" will do, make it work". Not allowed to deciate. So guessing that TL was told he can do some motion, but rhe gist of the offense will still be pedestrian, as it has been for KF tenure.

 

[BubsFinn]

CM shouldve passed that ball to the endzone, defender has his back turned. At worst it's knocked down.

I don't think we have any plays that do that.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Bring back illinois state!!

 

[spiderland]

“Well first off, hats off to Troy…
…We’ll go back and look at film and I’m sure we’ll see some things that we need to clean up.”

 

[desihawk]

So are QB sneaks not allowed in Kinnick?🙄

they are allowed but apparently we don't have a qb

 

[Rambler Hawk]

This gon’ be a longggggg season.

Yup…😬

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Cade has the happy feet syndrome like Petras did

 

[BubsFinn]

Iowa fans in the 2nd half.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

This is so boring.

And sad.

 

[DEMGR]

They have for a few years now…🥲

They have for a few years now…🥲

Barnett Syndrome.

 

[Bierhalter]

There are over 100 D1 programs for whom Chris Doyle never worked. That includes all recent national champions and 24 of 25 recent top 25 programs. Next excuse please.

 

[Herkylian]

Cade moves around like a geriatric.

 

[QChawks]

Looks like it’s gonna be time to hang the Halloween lights

 

[Randall Stanhope]

Just think Troy lost to Memphis by 21.
Memphis just beat FSU by 8. So if we beat Troy by more than 13 today, we hypothetically could beat 0-3 FSU.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Why can our D suddenly not wrap and tackle? Same thing happened last week.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

That 3rd down play was an easy 1st down for our #2 or #3 qb. They couldn’t possibly be a poorer passer than Cade.

Sullivan has started 10 B1G games over the last two years and is a 70% avg passer.

 

[tweeterhawk]

Clown fans everywhere gotta be laughing their assess off.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

There are just far too many instances of someone crossing a blocker’s face and blowing things up.

 

[FranisnottheMan]

Cade getting outplayed by a QB who was at frickin Gardner-Webb..haha

 

[obfuscating]

Lachey is terrible at blocking as well.

Which is amazing as the way they block is supposed to be very simplistic

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Clown fans everywhere gotta be laughing their assess off.

I am kind of laughing at this debacle
