I will say going into this game was the most confident I have been in Iowa against a ranked team since WIsconsin last year. I don't mind getting my heart broke though.
Did Iowa special teams come up big time in the first half or what?. Daffney, Moss, Recinos, Rastetter, ISM and all the blocking that went with that, you name it, just dominating. I’m just going to say this once thought to coach Woods. Get Recinos the DAMN BALL! Lol.
Sloppy ugly game on both teams but they made more plays. We had chances to win but we just didn’t make the plays that were there to be made. I thought the D and special teams played well enough to win. The offense had problems other than Nate.
Nate was had a rough day and there is no other real way to say it. He is and will be better. He made some big passes and a good run on 3rd and long down the stretch but way too inconsistent today. Who he did out perform were the idiots that couldn’t wait to flock to this site to call him garbage, loser, awful, etc. Nobody feels worse than Nate Stanley and the people riding him need to get over it. True colors show after loses and we got some people that need to take a step away IMO and it’s just my opinion. Okay, I’m off my soap box.
McShay was getting pissed and saying childish things like these are middle school passes he’s missing. I truly believe this was because at the beginning of the show he was being credited with being one of the first to realize Nate’s talents. As the game went on McShay was getting embarrassed and was taking it personally.
Fant 0 targets in the 1st half and only 1 through 3 quarters.
I thought Sargent played like a warrior today and has probably earned more reps with that performance.
Really happy for Geno Stone getting a pick 6 against his dream school.
Iowa with only 82 yards of offense in the first half.
At halftime I heard Jesse Palmer doing highlights on Iowa St and said Hakeem Butler has had a great year and nobody has been able to cover him. Um, I’d beg to differ there Jesse, 3 catches 38 yards against Iowa.
The turnovers are really killing Iowa’s defensive numbers. 12 turnovers on the year have lead to 7 TD’s.
Once again, Iowa is better on 3rd and long than they are on 3rd and short.
Seth Benson got some action on kick off returns and had a nice block on ISM’s long return
1st Quarter
FOR WHATEVER REASON MY RECORDER MISSED THE FIRST DEFENSIVE SERIES AND THEN THE BLOCKED PUNT.
13:55 IF ONLY NATE COULD HAVE PASSED LIKE THIS ALL DAY. GREAT THROW. BEST PART OF THIS PLAY FOR ME WAS NATE WEITING HAD FALLED DOWN BUT WAS HUSTLING AND GOT BACK UP AND ENDED UP FALLING ON THE BALL.
12:05 HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH OF THIS, KELLY GETS UP AND STARTS SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT, NOT 1 PENN ST LB FOLLOWED HIM, THEY KEYED ON IKM THE WHOLE TIME.
10:20 3RD AND GOAL, NATE TRIES FOR EASLEY AND MISSES. PENN ST DEFENDER FELL DOWN AND HOCKENSEN WAS WIDE OPEN TO THE RIGHT. PLUS A LITTLE SURPRISED NOAH FANT WASN’T ON THE FIELD.
NEXT PLAY: MIGUEL SPORTING GREEN SHOES. MAYBE HE ALWAYS HAS. ALSO, ONCE AGAIN A DEFENDER LEAPS OVER WIRFS. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1ST AND GOAL BUT THEY DIDN’T CALL IT.
6:15 HOCKENSEN WITH A GREAT HURDLE AND A GREAT PLAY BY NATE HERE. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE OUR DAY ESPECIALLY AFTER TWO FUMBLES AND WE GOT BOTH OF THEM BACK.
5:27 JUST HATS OFF TO LEVAR WOODS AND ALL OF SPECIAL TEAMS FOR ONCE AGAIN BEING INNOVATIVE. WHAT A WILLIE MAYES/DAVE CASPER TYPE CATCH FROM BRINCKS.
NEXT PLAY: RIGHT HERE I THOUGH WE HAD THIS GAME IN THE BAG. DAFFNEY WITH A DOMINATING TACKLE ON THE KICKOFF AND IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE OUR DAY. IT WAS A LOT OF DOWNHILL FROM THIS MOMENT.
NEXT PLAY: THEIR RIGHT TACKLE TAKING A PLAY OUT OF THE WISCONSIN PLAYBOOK. HE STARTS JUST BEFORE THE SNAP. THEY GET A NICE LONG RUN HERE AND IT WAS MAINLY BECAUSE BOTH LATTIMORE AND REIFF WERE IN THE SAME GAP. SOMEONE SCREWED UP.
3:00 AFTER GETTING PUSHED AROUND THE 2ND TEAM DEFENSIVE LINE IS REPLACED BY THE 1ST TEAM DEFENSIVE LINE.
1:05 IOWA CALLS TIMEOUT AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT BRENTS WAS IMMEDIATELY WAVIGN THINGS OFF AND I’M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS HIM OR THE COACHES YELLING IT TO HIM.
:35 TD PASS HERE BY MCSORELY AND IT LOOKS LIKE GERVASE IS TELLING MOSS HE SHOULD HAVE HAD HIM. NOT REALLY SURE.
2ND QTR
15:00 CB ON EASLEY BLITZES AND EASLEY CONTINUES HIS ROUTE DEEP. WOULD THINK HE SHOULD CUT THAT ROUTE OFF AND GIVE NATE AN EASIER READ.
14:00 ANNOUNCERS POINTED THIS OUT BUT COLBERT LINES UP OVER CENTER FORCING THE GUARD/CENTER TO HAVE TO BLOCK HIM, HE BACKS OFF AND OJEMUDIA BLITZES CLEANELY. GREAT BLITZ DESIGN.
13:35 PENN ST KICKS OFF AFTER SAFETY AND KRISTIAN WELCH IS BACK ON KCIK RETURN. I THOUGHT HE GOT HURT AND THAT’S WHY HOCKADAY WAS PLAYING MLB.
12:15 THE PLAY THAT WILL MAKE US ALL CRINGE FOR A WHILE. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLAY CALL, PLAY FAKE BY STANLEY, BLOCK AND RELEASE BY HOCKENSEN AND THE BALL SAILS PAST HIM BY 3 OR 4 YARDS. NBODY WAS WITHIN 10 YARDS OF HIM IT WAS AN EASY TD.
12:04 FERGURSON JUST GETS BEAT INSIDE FOR THE SACK
10:00 GREAT READ BY AJ ON THE QB OPTION. GOT A LITTLE VIOLENT AT THE END OF THAT PLAY AS WELL.
8:40 RARELY CALLED BUT PENN ST WITH A PUSH OFF ON RILEY MOSS. HATE THAT IT’S NOT CALLED AS FREQUENTLY AS WHEN THE DB GETS TOO CLOSE TO A WR.
7:05 NATE’S FIRST PICK. YOUNG WITH A GOOD BLITZ PICK UP AND EASLEY WASN’T QUITE TO THE SPOT. GOOD READ BY THE CB GUARDING SMITH. IF SMITH TOOK THAT ROUTE DEEPER THAT’S NOT A PICK. DON’T’ GET ME WRONG IT’S NATE’S BAD THROW. GOOD HUSTLE BY TRISTAN TO FORCE THE FUMBLE.
6:45 SETH BENSON AND WELCH WITH DOULBE TEAM FOR ABOUT 10 YARDS TO SPRING ISM ON THE KICK RETURN. I’M SURE HE STILL LEADS THE NATION IN KICK RETURNS.
NEXT PLAY: AUSTIN KELLY WITH A GOOD BLOCK AND SARGENT CONTINUES TO BREAK TACKLES.
4:37 IS THAT A LITTLE NATE KEADING FIRE I SEE IN MIGUEL AFTER THE LONG FG IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS. HE WAS FIRED UP. I KNOW @rivercityjazzmanSAYS HE IS MENTORING MIGUEL. LOVE IT. HEY POPS, HOW FAR WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN GOOD FROM. I’M GUESSING ANOTHER 5 YARDS?
3:15 WAS THIS TARGETING ON PENN ST #6? LOOKS LIKE MAYBE HE TRIED TO TURN HIS HEAD AWAY BUT HE GETS SARGENT RIGHT IN THE HELMET.
:50 NOT SURE IF WAS CROWD NOISE OR WHAT BUT RENDER JUST SNAPS THE BALL AND NATE WASN’T READY. VERY SLOPPY GAME OBVIOUSLY BY THE OFFENSE.
NEXT PLAY: I DON’T MIND GOING FOR IT AND TRUSTING YOUR DEFENSE HERE. IT LOOKED ON TV LIKE MANSELL HAD HOCKENSEN OPEN. I CAN’T SEE IF THERE WAS A SAFETY NEAR BY THAT WOULD HAVE CLOSED THE GAP THERE BUT AT LEAST ON TV IT LOOKED THAT WAY. ON THE REPLAY I’M GUESSING #26 WAS IN THE AREA.
