Tidbits worth knowing….
- Thread starter cmhawks99
- Start date
I watched the game yesterday through sober eyes. Agree with pretty much all you said. I saw a bunch of positives in the first half and with a pick six from Cooper we could have easily been up 28-3 at half. Easily!
The run game still would have sucked even if they had gotten to 31. From my recollection...if KF has a good run game, his teams offenses are usually okay.
When he doesn't have a run game, then you can only go back to Drew Tate 2004 where KOK got creative and they had a QB that could improvise and make plays.
Against the worst DEF in D1 .. and 400 of the 500 yards after missed tackles and a 2 yard throw.. good try, watch the games not just the stat lines!
So those plays and points didn’t actually count? Damn. I could have sworn they did.
Solid addition 😂 definitely worth the time to post that lol!

Think it’s all Kirk. Brian would definitely ram it down the opposition’s throat.
If McNamara hadn't played we would have gotten beat.
What nice try? Facts are facts you don't want to acknowledge. FIRST game on the road .big12 champ. First time playing together all new staff. Good God ,open your eyes man and stop apologizing for the worst OC in college ball.
I'm sure it pissed Phil off too and he will let them know about it in no uncertain terms.
He’s probably just celebrating a team that has won the 16th most games in the 10 years.
The negative posters on here really wear a guy down.
I’m sure he’s just trying to defend a team that he has enjoyed watching while others tear that team down. It’s not a difficult concept.

I'm not tearing the team down. I POINTED out facts. What is so hard to understand. KF knows how to field dee and sp teams. There is a black hole on the offense. If they could fix it. It would mean 10 or 11 win seasons. But you are satisfied with 7 or 8. Nepotism sucks
I love how shitty you guys get and how mad you get when we debate you and then turn around and tell us “how we are” and “what” we are ok with…
It never ceases to make me smile…
Not to mention the fact, it’s a sign of very weak inside and cognitive ability.
I am as it turns out “OK” with the 16th best winning percentage over the last 10 years and frustrated that we can’t get over the hump….
But there is a major difference between me and Guy’s like you, and it would be pointless to go over it again if you haven’t already figured it out…
We’re just not gonna be mad as hell all the time and I don’t remember for sure, but I think you’ve been around a long time. I doubt you liked KOK or Greg Davis either and you’re not gonna like the next O-coordinator as well….
So the Nepotism deal is a non-sequitur.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m tired as hell of him being here but it’s just because I get super effing tired of guys like you talking about it when I know damn good and well you won’t like the next guy either.
I am quietly looking forward to the day Kirk Ferentz leaves Iowa and they start scoring 50 points a game and go six and six😂
You know the dback fell down on that first td, right?
We know PP's guys will improve. We don't know if BF's guys will.
Are you kidding. My first post I stated facts. You ignore it and then you start the attacks about 'effing guys like me" You don't know shit,but keep pretending you do.
I thought we had a QB that would see 8 in the box and be allowed to check out of the zone read with something attacking space.
I was pissed about the late hit penalty.
Technically right but I couldn’t hit the Iowa player for hitting the USU player after he spun back into the field of play and was still going forward.
It’s not like TCU was an elite squad defensively last year either.
I only have one beef in all of this - if the OL scheme is too complex for us to execute, we need to change it.
I'm all for everything and I don't have a problem with anything else but that's what gets me. We're a B1G West offense and we can't run the ball. At all.

Because the mofo got a nasty double move put on him by Seth Anderson. That was an amazing double move and that boy fell down cause his ass was beat!!! Watch it again.
Again Iowa joins OSU Bama Georgia and Clemson as the only teams that have won 8+ games for last 7 years.
Hawkeye program does not suck.
Coach Prime had his team firing perfectly on exactly half of it cylinders. The offensive cylinders to be exact. The other half did't even have their spark plugs in. (the defense)
Our offense sucks. BF would have no OC job if not for who his Dad is. Outstanding defense and sp teams have carried this team. What could have been if we had a competent offense. I still hold out hope Jr can figure it out.
I'm talking about offense. They also played on the road in their FIRST game together as a team against the NC runner up!!! How do you think Iowa's offense would have performed?? Our defense is in good hands thanks to PP. Hate to think where this team would be with out him.
I don't think it is complex actually very simple but hard to sync. The problem also lies with lack of ability by our offensive staff to run plays that take advantage of a defense that sells out to stop the run an pressure our qb.
Can't argue with that. Hope it doesn't happen.
I want Cade and the team to succeed, the guys work their asses off all year to be successful.
I really think thats an overly general statement at this point. First whatever TCU was or was not LAST year, that doesn't have a lot of bearing on this year. Second they also gave up 42 points. I know they won 45-42, but how did the game go. I honestly didn't watch it, so maybe someone can fill us in.
See, that’s just the point & what a far seeing person does… Last year when everyone was singing the praises of TCU & Sonny Dykes, I pointed out I’d be shocked if they had the same kind of team next year.
In reality, they probably do one that plays piss poor defense.

TCU won a lot of close games last year also.
