OT: What a great 2 weeks I had in Indiana. Loved the state and loved the towns including Bloomington. Someone suggested me and my buddies go to Nick’s Pizza. Well 3 million other people knew about it. We ended up at Scottys. Great time.
I met so many great people from Indiana and Iowa. Got to hang out with some cool guys from Iowa and South Dakota and just had a great time. Finally met Rivercityjazzman and just as expected he is good people. Met Parker Hesse’s mom and dad, Nick Easley’s dad and brother and Ross Reynolds mom. Also as I’ve said I met Scott Dochterman on Friday night watching Warren Central. I love Washington but I so wish it had the Midwest demeanor. Great people and great time.
Got to meet AJ's little brother and a friend of the family that grew up on the same island as Eppy. He had a great drinking chant and excuse me Samoan culture if I get this wrong but "Housasa Housasa hit em the head with a Housasa, Goooooo Hawkeyes. It was amazing.
There was a guy I don't think I ever got to meet personally but he kept handing me shots. He was wearing a Nile Kinnick Jersey and a leather helmet. Very regimented and organized with his tailgating.I was impressed.
Crowd was not good near the start and was bad during the game and by the end of the game it was pathetic other than the Iowa fans.
My first away game since the tradition of The Wave started. We did it at the end of the 1st quarter in Indiana. Thought it was pretty classy.
Told people all week it’s Indiana and we are good and did not think the game would be close. @khawks4 never had to go back and revisit my posts. All in good fun.
What can you say about TE’s like this. It’s just a beautiful thing.
Iowa has scored on 6 of their last 7 possessions to start out a half. Would be 7 of 7 but the turnover on downs against Wisky cost us. Really like their film study and halftime adjustments.
We are outscoring opponents 68-20 in 3rd quarter.
The defensive line continues to be dominant and it’s going to take us far.
Our first drive we never had to convert a 3rd down
Dalton Ferguson looks like is firmly the starter at RG. Thought maybe Cole was hurt but he played on the last few plays at guard.
Buddies had me googling Iowa’s single game passing record. I guessed Chuck against Texas. Wrong Chuck wrong game. I would have loved to have him get the record.
First time watching Indiana live and their coach is kind of got a screw loose. Argued everything all day.
It almost seemed like Indiana decided to commit holding and PI every pass play just believing it won’t get called every time.
We owned 1st down today and were once again money on 3rd and long.
We never ran the ball on 3rd and short, all passes
The only TD I missed was when I thought Nate missed Smith and I was like UGH and all my buddies started cheering. I missed Easley in the endzone.
Thought it was the best game by the offensive line this year, holes were huge.
We have different offenses and defenses but for those concerned about the running game last weekend, Ohio St ran for 92 yds and 2.9 yds a pop against the Gophers. As for our defense, Minnesota ran for 178 yds against the buckeyes at 5.4 yds a carry.
Just really excited where this team is and I’d be the same way had we won by 1 yesterday.
Not too much to comment on announcers other than Beth still sounds like a pirate when she says Yaaaards. Also, personally I'm not a fan of the new format to call games where the sideline guy is talking every play. Booger Mcknownothing on MNF is awful during this.
1ST QUARTER
13:40 BOTH SAFETIES LINED UP ON LOS OVER THE INDIANA LEFT SIDE. NOT QUITE SURE HOW THAT GOT A 1ST DOWN ON THE FUMBLE RECOVERY. GENO STONE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS SHOT OUT OF A CANNON ON THE HIT ON THE RB. NOT SURE HOW WELCH DIDN'T END UP WITH IT.
12:22 A NELSON ON THE PASS RUSH THEN HUSTLES DOWN FIELD AND MAKES THE TACKLE
NEXT PLAY - GENO STONE ON THE TACKLE OF THE BALL CARRIER AND THE BLOCKER. HE'S IMPRESSIVE
11:21 WE GO DIME AND HERE IS WHY HESSE PLAYS MORE SNAPS. HE WILL NEVER BE THE PASS RUSHER THAT AJ IS BUT AJ GETS SUCKED INSIDE HERE BUT ALL THE QUICKNESS ON THE BACK END HELPS WITH THIS PLAY TO STOP THEM SHORT OF A 1ST DOWN. GREAT PLAY BY GERVASE
10:32 SAMPSON EVANS IN THE GAME ON THE KICKOFF RETURN TEAM
FORGIVE ME BUT IT'S ALMOST EVERY PLAY ON THE 1ST DRIVE.
NEXT PLAY - RENDER SETTING THE TONE, BLOCKING DT OUT OF THE WAY THEN THE MLB. JACKSON AND WIRFS BLEW UP THEIR GUYS AS WELL.
NEXT PLAY - WOULD LIKE FOR BRANDON TO MAKE ONE OF THESE CATCHES A GAME. ALSO WEITING IN EARLY AT TE.
NEXT PLAY - THEY GET FANT ON OFFENSIVE PI AND KIRK IS UPSET AS HE SAYS THEY ARE HOLDING. HE SEEMED FIRED UP EARLY IN THIS GAME.
NEXT PLAY - YOUNG WITH A GREAT BLITZ PICK UP AND WIRFS PUT THE DE INTO THE GROUND.
NEXT PLAY - ISM LETTING THE DB KNOW IT THAT HE;S HOLDING EVERY PLAY. FLAG WAS THROWN.
NEXT PLAY (8:29)- HE'S NOT JAMES DANIELS, BUT RENDER PULLING AND GETTING SARGENT EXTRA YARDS. THIS IS THE PLAY WHERE TJ HOCKENSEN HAS ONE OF THE BEST BLOCKS YOU WILL EVER SEE. HE DRIVES DE 9 YARDS AND THEN PANCAKES HIM. ALSO WIRFS BLOCKS A GUY, FALSS DOWN, ROLLS OVER AND GETS UP AND BLOCKS ANOTHER GUY. GREAT EFFORT ALL AROUND HERE.
7:20 AUDIBLE TO A PASS, TOUCHDOWN, GREAT THROW AND JUST A DUMB CHALLENGE BY INDIANA COACH.
7:15 THIS IS NEW. 2ND POSSESSION, 2ND STRING DL IS IN THE GAME ACROSS THE BOARD. NOT SURE IF THEY EARNED MORE PT OR JUST THE FIRST DRIVE WAS LONGER THAN NORMAL.
6:20 THIS IS WHY AJ PLAYS PASSING DOWNS. HE IS SO FUN TO WATCH.
NEXT PLAY - JACK KOERNER IN THE GAME.
3:55 MLB READ THE DRAW BUT BRADY ROSS TOOK CARE OF THAT. HE PLAYED REALLY WELL TODAY.
3:20 WIRFS HERE SHOWS WHAT THE DAY WAS LIKE FOR INDIANA DL. TAKES DE 10 YARDS FOR A RIDE.
2:03 ANNOUNCER SAYS GOOD PLAY, LITTLE CONTACT BUT GETS HIS HEAD TURNED AROUND AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WAS HE HAD ISM'S LEFT ARM PULLED DOWN.
1:26 SARGENT WITH A GREAT BLITZ PICKUP AND NATE WITH A BEAUTIFUL THROW TO FANT AND REALLY NICE CATCH AS WELL.
:25 THINK I READ RIVERCITYJAZZMAN SAID IT WAS INSTALLED LAST WEEK BUT NO PLAYING AROUND HERE ON THE PUNT ANYMORE. IF THAT BALL IS HITTING THE GROUND IT'S GTFO. EVERYBODY SPRINTS TO THE SIDELINES.
2nd QTR
14:24 NIFTY MOVE BY EASLEY TO PICK UP A FEW MORE YARDS
13:00 NATE DIDN'T SEE #10 WHO WAS ON THE LOS AND FAKED THE BLITZ AND THEN DROPPED RIGHT BACK INTO THE PERFECT PLACE FOR THE PICK.
NEXT PLAY - UP TO THIS POINT, THEY HAD GONE AFTER BRENTS MOST OF THE GAME AND HAD LEFT RILEY ALONE. DECENT COVERAGE AND HAND WAS IN THERE JUST COULDN'T GET IT DONE.
NEXT PLAY - NOT MANY GREAT BLOCKS HERE, JUST ISM IMPROVISING. NOT SURE IT WAS A GREAT DECISION BUT IT WAS A GREAT RETURN AND NICE HURDLE AT THE END.
10:30 GREAT READ BY NATE HERE SEEING THE BLITZ AND GETTING IT TO SARGENT WHO MAKES A WADLEY LIKE SPIN MOVE HERE. I'M ALWAYS FOR THE GUY THE COACHES PICK BUT REALLY LIKE EVERY TIME SARGENT IS ON THE FIELD.
NEXT PLAY - WHAT A GREAT EFFORT BY NATE. ESCAPES THE SACK SCRAMBLES AND FINDS NICK IN THE ENDZONE. ANNOUNCER SAID IT REMINDED HIM OF BIG BEN. WHEN THEY COME BACK FROM COMMERCIAL THERE IS A GREAT OVER HEAD SHOT OF EASLEY GETTING OPEN. GREAT EFFORT.
8:21 GREAT READ BY WELCH AND NOBODY BLOCKED PARKER BUT I LIKE 3RD DOWN STOPS ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CALL TIMEOUT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE RIGHT D.
5:52 BETH ADMITS THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SPACE BALLS REFERENCES IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. WHO IS GONNA DISAGREE WITH HER?
3:26 DON'T SEE DEFENSIVE HOLDING ON A RUNNING PLAY OFTEN BUT GOOD CALL, REIF REACHES OUT AND PULLS THE GUARD BY THE JERSEY TO STOP HIM FROM GETTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
2:10 AJ SPLITS A DOUBLE TEAM AND NELSON WITH A GOOD MOVE AS WELL AND ANTHONY ALMOST GETS THE SACK. GREAT PLAY BY RAMSEY THOUGH.
1:20 2ND TEAM DL HAD STARTED THIS DRIVE, THEY WERE ALL REPLACED ON THIS PLAY BY 1ST TEAM DL. WELCH ALMOST WITH A PICK HERE. FANS WANTED PASS INTERFERENCE BUT DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RULES. BALL WAS TIPPED BY WELCH BEFORE HAND. DON'T THINK ANNOUNCERS GOT IT EITHER.
:10 ONE OF THE FEW BIG NEGATIVE PLAYS FOR IOWA. DT BEATS TRIPLE TEAM OF RENDER, REYNOLDS AND FERGUSON TO GET THE SACK.
