[10kHawk]

-Jazz and Moulton will be a very good 1-2 punch

-Wetjen is a weapon, Stevens a stud, punter good going to be great so special teams very good

-?

 

[Thunderlips71]

I never have to see Schulte in an Iowa uniform again.

[Rose bowl or bust]

-Wetjen is a weapon, Stevens a stud, punter good going to be great so special teams very good

-?

You pretty much summed it up. I guess if we need another

- off-season is upon us. Lester has said he didn’t get to install as much of the passing game as he would have liked, so hopefully that evolves if KF will allow it

None. We lost. We lose a lot to graduation. Recruiting is pedestrian and we had no success in the portal. Next year will be a shit show.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

I’m positive it is time for a change.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

I never have to see Schulte in an Iowa uniform again.

Yup he was awful

 

[2D_]

Jazz and Moulton looked good
Wetjen is still elite


That's about it.

 

[MWardT]

Buie looked good. Need someone to emerge at the X receiver.

Why can we not get Wetjen the ball in space on offense? Why can’t we throw a deep ball to him?

He won't allow it, soooooo....

 

[iahawks10]

-Wetjen is a weapon

Not sure it’s a real positive to have a weapon sitting on the bench and kickers kicking away from him.

Jesus Christ I’m sorry for you if you believe this.

We've seen the movie a hundred times @herkyhawk00
We have had pro bowl tight ends ride the pine. Starting NFL running backs at wide receiver not getting touches. Lol
Cluster.

 

[Easthawk1062]

These clowns are off the field until August.

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

This team still wants to win.

9 months before it happens all over again

 

[DTP2]

Our defense forced 88 wide open drops.

he’ll almost certainly go on to be a better husband father and accountant than whatever we have had to endure

 

[hawkeyemark18]

We need more help at WR than we do another QB I think. I feel hopeful that with some of the younger QBs pushing Sullivan will continue to get better in the spring. Jimmy Sullivan sounds interesting and I want to see what Brown can do too. Jackson Stratton seems a wild card.

Mind boggling.

 

[desihawk]

positive takeaway— when we bitch about the offense going forward it will be bitching about a average or better offense instead of the worst one in cfb

 

[WaterlooChazz]

Yup he was awful

I have been told they give all big ten honorable mention, two straight years, only to the worst of the worst.

If we start J Sullivan at any point as a true frosh, we are in big trouble.

I don't see that happening. But J. Sullivan may play a key role as backup or the emergency QB. Lester played a freshman QB in one of his successful seasons at Western Michigan. He plays to the strengths of what he has to work with and may have inherited a gem in the younger Sullivan.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

One game closer to retirement

 

[pointingdogsrule]

Second smallest crowd for the Music City bowl so not many fans had to suffer watching Iowa.

We have zero idea if this is true. Our scholly QB’s the last 4-5 years have been absolute busts.

 

[bulletproof90]

For me the only positive is it’s the sort of embarrassing loss that spurs everyone in the program to evaluate what the F we’re doing and want to be better next year.

I consider myself moderate in between the homers and the fans who want wholsesale change and I’m willing to see what this staff, who for all their faults do do a lot of things right, can do for at least one more year.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Thought this was a day for football and they played.

 

[MitchLL]

Well, then apparently they award those like participation ribbons, because he can't cover or tackle.
Well, that's not totally true...he had that one tackle 3 feet OOB.

 

[ICHawk2440]

Played a darn good half against a team that isn’t terrible. Little mistakes cost them the game.
Could have played better, so that means maybe we get better for next year…

 

[mizzoufan90]

You have some scrappy white boys.

That’s about it.

The outcome was disappointing, but hardly embarrassing. That was last year's bowl loss.

I try to read or listen to some of the links Fran posts. Listened to a discussion where one of them had talked to Lester and he expressed how excited he feels about Jimmy Sullivan. He didn't recruit him so obviously watched plenty of video before he got here after graduating from high school a couple weeks ago.

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

Not sure it’s a real positive to have a weapon sitting on the bench and kickers kicking away from him.

According to the announcers, Lester said he couldn't trust Wetjen because he would run the wrong route. More trust equals more PT, and he got some today. Hopefully, Wetjen can get on the same page as everybody else, because the Hawks sure could use him on offense.

 

[ICHawk2440]

That’s about it.

You barely won…

 

[mizzoufan90]

You barely won…

And the Germans barely caught us off guard at Pearl Harbor. How did that workout for our boys?

😂 at least you are actually funny unlike the Nebby trolls who come over here. Oh and your team isn’t trash. Your coach is kind of a doofus tho to be honest

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Why can we not get Wetjen the ball in space on offense? Why can’t we throw a deep ball to him?

Honestly, I don’t think Sully has the arm…so I have concerns at QB1 (again) for next season…😬
