can't we sprint him out on some of these third-and-shorts we're not picking up? Iowa dug a hole by going three-and-out on its first two possessions tonight, failing to pick up 3rd and less than 5 each time. With Vandenberg sitting in the pocket there, it's like we're playing 10-on-11. Get him out of the pocket. He's shown before that he can pick up five or six yards.
I feel Iowa never really utilizes this option. I don't like QB-run-based offenses, but 3rd and short feels like a mile right now for the Hawks (and often did under O'Keefe as well), and I don't think opposing defenses appear very stressed by what we run on those downs.
