BLITZ YOU IDIOT COACHES!!!



ThunderHawk you speak the truth. They outplayed us today.

I bet that IU player has nightmares for the remainder of his career.
 


They sent Morris a few times and unfortunately I think he is still working through how to read the QB as there were at least 2 attempts where he would have cleaned Chappell's clock had he not went for the play-action and stop at the RB. What I can't believe is how we don't take advantage of the scheme vs Clayborn and bring pressure from the same side.

This.

All they did to AC all game was drop and roll at his feet...there'd be no way to chip anyone else coming from that side, unless they rolled their RB to that side too, which they weren't doing since the stop, drop and roll was effective.
 


We blitzed a few times and were beaten BADLY. Blitzing was the last thing we should have been doing. Morris blitzed twice and absolutely telegraphed that he was coming, and Chappel picked it apart...one pass completion went to the 1 yard line that set up their TD.

I can't disagree with the original poster more.

If anything, in obvious passing situations, we needed to run some nickel and dime today. Get our young LBers off of the field.

I agree with you 100%. They could even bring preassure from the opposite side since AC is getting doubled. It seems to me that Iowa saves a thing or two for bigger games which they shouldn't do but I would hope to see AC get some help against OSU or NW.
 


We blitzed on the 3rd down play that gave us back the ball before the last scoring drive. Hyde made a nice play knowing the slant was coming.
 


like many others said - we did blitz. I'm ok with doing it on occassion to keep the offense honest but it isn't our strength. it's obvious the LBs don't spend much practice time on it and noted earlier, we don't utilitze it to the fullest potential.
