We come out 4 wide and run a draw to kickoff 2023!! Sign me up for 17 points a game!!



THE ORIGINAL HAWKS4LIFE
 
i have reliable reports that bf insisted upon becoming the world’s first test subject for elon musk’s neural implant chip. all summer long his chip assisted play calling has been impeccable and statistically brilliant. so he’s doing everything possible and has in a sense put his life on the line, now it’s up to grunts on the field to execute. the chip determined that iowa’s pass pro and passing accuracy were horrific last year and also impacted the run game as a result, so bf (ie the chip) decided that an unambiguous message has to be sent. first drive is slated to comprise entirely of passes. iowa will telegraph pass after pass and still make them. first play is inked to be a slant to anderson.
 
Cade McNamara naked bootleg for a 6 yard loss and an aggravation of the quad injury. Brian dons a helmet as he is pelted with beer cans.

Dont get mad at me!! I'm kidding!! I think the offense surprises this year!!

I don't know if he's taken a snap in 20 years, but he would be the highest drafted Iowa QB since Chuck Long. (If the BTN claims instant league classic games of Maryland from the early 2000's why can't we also claim an NFL player that somehow got a waiver to play in college again)

Oh shit ! Edited!
 
We won’t open in a fb package or 21 package. Single back set with all and kaleb on the sidelines. 5 yard sideline pass to Seth Anderson.
 
I had this thought. Deacon Hill is starting (Don’t wanna risk aggravating Cade’s injury vs USU). Since He’s 260 pounds on 1st down we run QB sneak. Defense isn’t ready for it. Hayden Large helps push the pile for 5 yards. Hill gets tackled to shake any cobwebs and nerves out. 2nd down: same thing! Just on a different count. Hayden Large helps push the pile for 4 yards.

On 3rd and 1, we have the exact same formation, so the defense loads up inside to clog every running lane. At the snap, it’s a quick pitch to #2 out wide and he has a head of steam and the WR gets the only block we need. TD! 3 plays, 75 yard of rushing.

ESPN cuts in to every game across the country to show off how diverse and creative our offense has become! (Dripping with sarcasm)

If it's not a run I just may die of a heart attack.

Don't pull this cute shit this year Brian.

Run. The. Ball.
 
If they get the ball first and punt. Punt return by Dejean for a TD. If we receive the kickoff first, return by Brown for a TD.

Yeah......but what about the first game in 1960?
 
Off tackle run for 8.5 yards. Deep sideline pass over thrown. Off tackle run 1st down.
Go no huddle offense to make up for lack of creativity. Line gets tired, gives up a sack on 3rd down.
Long field goal attempt is no good.
Brian looks up at clock and tries to figure out his back up plan to 25. Camera finds Spencer and announcers rehash Iowa's offensive woes.
Football players around the country celebrate because they bet the under, but know they wont get caught because that only happens in Iowa.
Wisconsin score scrolls across the bottom, 17-0, 1st qrt.

Depends on who the starting QB is. If Cade starts, I’m guessing a short pass to get him comfortable. If it’s anyone else, I’m guessing run.
