First off I have to say I am disappointed in the crowd sat. I was not there, but by the looks on tv half the people were not making any noise.
Second and I hate to do this, I told you so. Awhile back I said if the Hawks met a good qb they would get shredded. I think Gamefilm has been to kind on them all year. He said and I agree that playing cb is a very hard job, but I took some notes. I am not saying these are 100% correct, but they are close and explain what happened Saturday.
1st down
1 yard pass, 8 after (holding Iowa)
4-5 yard pass, 6-7 after
7 yard pass
3 yard pass
4 yard pass
42 yard pass
4 yard pass
2nd down
40 yard pass
12 yard pass
4 yard pass, 8 after
5 yard pass, 5 after
3 yard pass
-1 yard pass, 8 after
6 yard pass, 4 after
6 yard pass
3 yard pass, 7 after
3rd down
7 yard pass
4 yard pass
8 yard td pass
11 yard pass
incomplete, due to a badly thrown ball
6 yard pass, nothing after as PSU fumbles but recovers
holding on Iowa
1 1/2 yard pass
another incomplete due to bad throw, would have been a td
2 yard pass, 17 after
4th down
10 yard pass, 25 after
incomplete, another poorly thrown ball
It would be hard to make a living pounding the rock against the hawks D, but they got shredded on the back side. PSU was 2nd in conf in passing and Iowa was 5th against the pass. You sure could not tell we were 5th on Saturday.
