We dont throw deep balls my friend
What are the Positive Takeaways
- Thread starter 10kHawk
- Start date
I know!!!!! Why! With 6 seconds in the first half at mid field, what is the harm of throwing a deep ball with the hopes of either catching it, getting a PI, or just throwing incomplete?
Only 1 more excruciating season with KF at the helm (God willing).
Drink needs Finasteride like Ferentz needs double bubble.
Hell of a coach tho I’ll give him that
That was a different and even worse kind of embarrassing, yeah, but to choke away a game we had won by way of our normal nemeses of offensive ineptitude, overly conservative decision making, and poor clock management, it does make me find the outcome embarrassing.
And I hope it causes us to make some needed philosophical changes. That the way we lost might actually lead to positive change in that direction is the biggest positive I take from the game. As opposed to us going into the season on a high note and thinking the status quo might actually lead us to a playoff berth, because it’s not going to.
I once said that was true. Then I thought it was true. Then I believed it to be true. Then I hoped it to be true. Then I wished it was true. Then I knew it wasn’t true.
Well no the game is never over in the 3rd qtr up 10 but we certainly missed chances to step on their throat. Biggest gaffe was Phil’s defense on the 3rd and 10 when of course he came with zero pressure.
🤨 How hard is it to learn how to run deep or a mid level crossing rout. For God sakes get him on the field or find some opportunities for him. Sullivan only went in when we were in the red zone. Get some plays he can run and get him in there.
Did that happen after Iowa got thrashed by Tennessee?
Racist much? Guess it's okay if you are talking about white people. Lol
Idiot.
Yes, and a much greater chance that a PI is called that allows you to potentially kick a fg.
Years when expectations are low (next year) are years when Ferentz teams take people by surprise.
Offense was good in the first half. Defense was terrible the whole game. Our defense is not as good as we thought. We don’t get a good rush from our front four and our back 7 lack speed
Only if the nard dog forgot to take his finasteride and minoxidil for a few month 😂 I can make fun of him because we have the same terrible hairline… holding on too long Drink.. let it goI can’t believe we lost to the Nard Dog.
It’s the same damn excuse every year
In the broadcast it was shared that Lester said #21 finally clicked during bowl prep. That when he did play during season he was running the wrong routes
Cause at Iowa our WR are idiots
This
Nothing will change unless there’s something of a scandal or mass transfer of starters etc
Can’t be because of our WR coach could it???
Lester should watch film on how the Patriots used Julian Edelman and the Colts used Brandon Stokely.
scored a TD on a ranked team for the first time in forever I guess, that is about the only positive I can come up with
Sounds like that guy that trx to Purdue a few years ago, Charlie something.
You could even go back to someone like Easley and McClaren (sp) years ago…KMM…we had guys that picked up those tough yards underneath
Now we seem to have our TE occupy that space but they are always immediately tackled since they’re not going to be great at creating that space
I was impressed with how they ran the ball today without Johnson. It seems that Lester has figured out the running game.
The defense is not a problem, just hard to expect the high level the past few years.
Special Teams are solid and really did well in this game

We don't really know what kind of arm Sully has...he never had the time to plant his feet and throw.
He was running for his life for most of the game or reaching down below his knees to field the center snap.
This OLine looks like a turnstyle at the airport.
Still total shit. It's even a miracle the offense improved at all. Iowa football is just a punishment to anyone who still cares. And the sack of dinosaur bones will live forever and keep expanding the L column until it won't even fit on a page in landscape mode.
