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

[Tom Paris]

I didn’t think I could feel worse about our offense but just saw that Western Illinois, a horrible 1-AA team, just scored 34 on Illinois State.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Hurkett out best player by far today

 

[BubsFinn]

Dude was wide open.

 

[Shafthawk]

Uh oh, looks like the opposing coach has a stronger gum game than Kirk does.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

How many more years would this o-line need to stay before they’d even be average? 4? 5?

 

[Heathen Raider]

Wow- just wow- coming out playing flat like this is sickening

They are not flat they just suck, this is who this Team is , Offensive line and QB are once again garbage , Barnett has failed and needs to be fired and Cade needs to be replaced , Kirk wont and this Team will continue to play like this. Defense is not the same without Coop either

 

[Bierhalter]

On the bright side, love to see the DL laying wood

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Kirk clapping for the boys, a scene as old as time

 

[desihawk]

hurkett 3rd time

Checking the play-by-play from the road.

4th and 1 and we lose a yard..... Against TROY!?

OLINE getting pushed around or WTF?

 

[uihawk82]

Hurkett got the good pressure on that last 3rd down for troy and luckily because their receiver was open. They flooded the bottom of the field on the tv view

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Clown fans everywhere gotta be laughing their assess off.

Maybe but Troy playing us close wouldn't make ISU's win look great.

 

[millah_22]

Why is Kirk and Cade so unwilling to get Brown involved in the offense?

 

[Etalicus]

How many more years would this o-line need to stay before they’d even be average? 4? 5?

Don't they all have covid year left ....

I didn’t think I could feel worse about our offense but just saw that Western Illinois, a horrible 1-AA team, just scored 34 on Illinois State.

I didn’t need to know this information.

 

[Tom Paris]

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.

Kirk is the worst offensive head coach in the last 40 years or more. I’m beyond ready for him to retire. He’s just being an asshole to us now.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Cade has the happy feet syndrome like Petras did

Something KF must be a master teacher at. Probably encourages it.

most of the time they remember that they have to block, but a few times they don't. that play was one of those few times

 

[Hock-I]

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.

This! ^^^^^

There was a reason we ranked outside of the top 25 in recruiting most the time, but we’re in the top 10 in sending players to the pros.

They are not flat they just suck, this is who this Team is , Offensive line and QB are once again garbage , Barnett has failed and needs to be fired and Cade needs to be replaced , Kirk wont and this Team will continue to play like this. Defense is not the same without Coop either

Ok I agree

Aka, Ethan Hurkett

 

[FranisnottheMan]

Why is Kirk and Cade so unwilling to get Brown involved in the offense?

He has to first get on the field.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Predicting no movement of the ball on this drive unless KJ busts a long run...boo birds start to come out here after starting with good field position.

OLINE getting pushed around or WTF?

The o-line has been terrible. Not really getting pushed around. They'd have to make contact with a defender for that to happen.

 

[BioHawk]

Well, this is week 3 against a terrible team. From what I've seen up to this point screw the playoffs, I'm not sure this team can even be bowl eligible. The defense is not good enough to cover for the shitty QB play. I just have not seen a whole lot of improvement and most importantly, there is a complete inability to sustain any sort of drive. Maybe they can turn this around but they certainly haven't found the issue yet.

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

I can deal with THE PUNT BOWL.

I can't deal with MADISON AVENUE trying to convince me that fat chicks are sexy.

 

[millah_22]

He has to first get on the field.

ok, so why is Kirk and Cade so unwilling to get Brown involved in the offense?

 

[obfuscating]

I hope Sullivan opts out after this game, seeing CM be trotted out there has to make him smirk.

Opts out of what? Holding the clipboard?

 

[Stoopsbrother]

Who the **** is #7 on offense? Still no KB

 

[BonzoFury]

We're watching the final fade. The KFz era is over. retread assistants on offense, no offensive line, no QB play.

Lucky if we get to .500 this year. Next year could be even worse.

It's over.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Something KF must be a master teacher at. Probably encourages it.

I definitely think one aspect of our horrendous QB play year after year is the way they're coached. I think KF gets in their head and gets them so geeked out about making a mistake they lose the ability to actually try making plays.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Cade moves around like a geriatric.

Yeah, time for Sully…but I don’t see that happening unless Cade gets hurt. I have no faith Iowa can recruit or develop any QB though…. Sad.

 

[7thsummitcoach]

It is hard work being a Hawks fan.

 

[Bierhalter]

Troy now colluding with Fox to run more commercials

OLINE getting pushed around or WTF?

That should never ever happen.

 

[Shafthawk]

We suck at execution, but at least we’re predictable

 

[Buffalo43]

Yawn

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Don't they all have covid year left ....

DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME

 

[BonzoFury]

Recruiting on the offensive side of the ball is getting worse and worse...and it's self-inflicted. This program is done.
