    Pockets collapse, receivers are not always open

    Lots of talk about O-line issues, and no doubt there are some. But even the best o-lines allow the QB to face pressure. Receivers will not always be open. The solution is not to take a sack or throw the ball away - the solution is to MAKE SOMETHING POSITIVE HAPPEN. Is it better to have the 30th...

    That's the reason why you needed to get Rudock experience last season

    No poise/composure down the stretch. Nothing else to say.

    Curious...does Barta

    sit KF down and tell him that things must improve? Does he put the proverbial screws to him? Has this happened already?

    Onside kick

    Trying to justify not jumping on the ball there...is it possible that because of the DOG penalty that the hands team thought perhaps the ball had to go 15 yards rather than 10? Maybe they were just going to let it go out of bounds. IDK, I'm fishing here I know. Just can't understand that. It...

    Offensive Season Summary

    Opponents: Able to convert 3rd down and keep drives alive because they more often than not have 3rd and short yardage. Hawks: Not able to sustain drives because lack of conversion on 3rd down. Attribute this to consistently having 3rd and long due to running draw plays on 2nd and long...

    Vandenberg's Delivery

    I'm not sure if this has ever been addressed on this site, but I noticed something today about Vandy's throwing motion with short yardage pass attempts. It's hard to describe it, but the best I can say is that it comes from way over the top. The result is that the ball is on a straight line...

    Iowa's first home wrestling dual of the season. Victory typically brings me out of depression.

    Tim Johnson

    Forgive the sappiness here, folks, but I can't help feel a bit happy for Tim Johnson and the apparent success he's having as a broadcaster. I can remember (as I'm sure you all do) when he was only doing PBS broadcasts of the meets, and now he is doing the Big Ten Network and tonight he is on...

    Two, maybe three things almost certain to happen

    I hate to be a wet blanket here, because I consider myself a glass half-full kind of guy, but the last several weeks have been absolutely sickening. The way I see it, here's what's going to happen. 1) No way we win the bowl game. Too much non-football stuff that the players and coaches are...

    The real issue is lack of execution

    In each of the losses we have been in the game with chances to win. Bottom line is that we missed the one chance late in the game to score and go ahead, or to stop the opponent's drive. Take today for example, when Stanzi missed McNutt and we settled for a FG. I believe that was in the 4th...

    Hillarious

    I find it funny while perusing other message boards that every team we play claims that "The better team didn't win today" or that the "refs cost us the game." Let's spot the Hoosiers two touchdowns, two extra points, and a field goal, and we still win the game. Doesn't bother me, though. How...

    Percentage Plays

    Seems like we waste opportunities throwing the ball deep, when the 5-6 yard, well executed pass allows the receiver/back to run up field a pick up big yardage. Obviously McNutt scored on that type of play and even the DJK TD was mostly yards after catch. I don't like the deep ball...it's...
