Burn

[ThunderHawk]

Those hideous f'n uniforms.

Especially the "defense's"

 

[Garandx]

The uniforms are fine.

The defense is not.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

A very rare occurrence under the Ferentz regime where the offense carried the defense.

 

[Stanzi]

I loved the uniforms. I did not love the play of the defense. How do you let them drive 75 yards in 45 seconds???

 

[HawksMN]

That was bad.....at least we held serve and won.
The game plan was poor.

Offensive gameplan was decent.

Defensive....well...yikes.

The Phil Special: Bend then break. Our pass D sucks more often than it should.

 

[mmills88]

Yeah, not of fan of the uni's.....I think it was the numbers....they looked cheap.

 

[brhawks18]

Even though Stanford, Baylor and LSU lost and Oklahoma State looked like crap, with the less than stellar defensive effort, Iowa drops 2 spots from 5 to 7 in the CFP.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

It seemed like the defensive game plan was to play 10 yards off the receivers... then back up more.

Let them catch it and line up again for another 10-15 yards...

TBH doesn't really matter.... Iowa has to win out for the playoffs however it shakes.

If our defense doesn't return we have no chance of winning out.

no, we aren't dropping

The Bend then Break. And it telegraphs to your team that you lack faith in them.

Phil is is a weak link.

 

[Fryowa]

^^^This. Winning all the way out Iowa gets in. Lose a game and we don't. Ranking means zilch.

 

[brhawks18]

Don't know how many of you remember the 70's and early 80's, but tonight I had a flashback of those old screen print numbers they used to put on jerseys.

Not sure if the defense or uni's were uglier tonight. But make no mistake they were both ugly.

We were in a prevent defense, which means prevent from playing defense.

All that while our backfield outnumbers their receivers 7-5. Absolutely no reason to use this bend & break crapatola.

Amen! I said it the moment I saw them.

 

[PCHawk]

Who the hell could possibly pass us? Oklahoma State? Lol at their game tonight. Is Florida going to jump from 11th to 5th?

It's possible, but who jumps them? TCU who beat mighty Kansas by 6, or Oklahoma State who had to come from behind to barely beat the juggernaut that is the Cyclones.

Even if we drop, which would be comical, it changes nothing. We either go 13-0 and go to CFP, lose any 1 game and go to the B1G Championship and likely Rose, lose any 2 games and...well...I don't wanna go there....
