Badgers, Badgers, Mushroom, Snake and only the West Title is on the line official game thread

[HawkeyeWalker]

We all know what is going to happen. They will rally to win the next 4, but miss out on a golden opportunity AGAIN.

Not this time, this team wins 2 mores at absolute most, and if they happen to play poor vs NW or Ill... 6-6 is a real possibility.

This offense is that poor.

 

[BigD]

I was there during Commings tenure - never this bad.

Can’t argue really, was a delusional thought

 

[Complex13]

Yea. We just need to stand pat and do nothing.

I think you just nailed the offensive adjustments we will see in the second half. More of the same, hoping for better results.

 

[hawk52]

I agree, but I think Petras is proving to be God Awful. He only missed the guy wide open by a mile which would have given them great field position on that one drive.

Petras blows
O-Line blows
BF....outside of a GREAT Ohio St game plan....has blown.

We just need to stick with him. Afterall he got us a 1st down late in the half.

Speaking of 1999….I would take Ladell Betts Kevin Kasper and a shitload of bubble screens over what I am seeing from the Iowa offense now

You’ve got to try something different. Hell, no-huddle uptempo the next three possessions. If that leads to more turnovers, at this point I’m fine with that.

 

[Complex13]

I'd like to see us have more points than turnovers at the end of the game. I'm shooting for the moon on that one, I know.

 

[Ben Rumson]

So my wife and I were supposed to go to a costume party tonight and I thought I'd dress up as an offensive coordinator but I see Brian Ferentz already stole that fucking idea!

I agree. All options should be on the table.

Welp, time to adjust expectations. We have some extremely winnable games the rest of the way out. Take care of business and we hit a nice win total, good bowl, and a chance at a top 25 finish.

Big Ten West would take a major turn of fortunes, which sucks because it looked like ours to lose just a couple weeks ago.

OL is very bad right now. Linderbaum plus a motley crew of not ready for prime time players. If Iowa was a spread team with a bunch of athletes at the edges, that's something you could scheme around to an extent but, being built the way we are, it's crippling.

I see 3 very winnable games left on the schedule. That's 9 wins plus a shot at a 10th in a bowl game. I would have signed up for that in a red hot minute back in August.

I'm sure the torches and pitchforks crowd is out in force, but I think it's another chapter in the book of Life as a Developmental Program. We need 5 guys that are "OK+" (with ideally 1 or 2 "good+" guys) to make this work and it's just not our reality this year.

not a counter argument to what you are saying. Just got a feeling KF will rally the troops a game or 2 too late

 

[hawk52]

good field position..let's see how we do.

 

[Motigerhawk]

I think BF told Petras "I dont have an idea, but dont worry we are both safe."

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Get a 1st down please

 

[hawk52]

lol. almost Petras...

 

[Dadman]

No fucking excuse for that play calling

You think Jones and Tracy aren't athletic on the edges? Not to mention Bruce and Johnson?

Switch the scheme.

 

[Luftgekuehlt67]

Anyone who thinks they can make a realistic assessment of a QB behind this OL is delusional. I'm sorry.

I’m not sure any amount of coaching matters, we don’t have talent.
