Hopefully The Hawkeyes Beat The Smart Kids Game Thread

Im at half time. Yes. Dropped balls by wide receivers. On less than ideal throws. G needs to make better gimmes when we just need 6 yards.

Most points scored in the first quarter since 2016 (16 against Purdue? 9 years ago. That makes me feel bad).

Special teams...not great. That field goal was good, though. I love that Wetjen is always pissed he didnt get to the house...despite regulalrly running back a punt for 30 yards.

I've said that defensive line is quietly special. Against this weaker team, they get sacks. Against better teams, they just dont allow you to do what you want
 








I dont know what to think of this game.
It was better, against a very weak team.
Bulk of passing came off a few plays (as I predicted...not exactly how I did, but close) and a bunch of sketchy short passes. A few showed a spark...throwing into a tight window.

quite happy with the misdirection plays.

G is a pretty rough thrower.

Defense is top to bottom good. I have yet to see the secondary not without a chance to make a play. Linebackers appear very disciplined. O line crushes a weak team like this and makes it very difficult for better opposing offenses.

Passing offense is still gonna struggle.
 


Happy to see one of my kid's friends get some time at the end. Odd they may seem to be moving him. He plays behind some of the better d-line studs. But moving him around a bit in this game. He's be a senior but has redshirt and injury time so he's only a sophomore eligibility wise. Maybe that means there's some more studs on the conveyor belt? Or maybe up by 40 they tossed him out there in that spot to get even more people in?
Either way, happy to see a really good dude getting some snaps
 




I was there. Surprised it sold out. Bogus tho, people starting leaving in droves in the middle of the third quarter. Yeah, it was a rout, c'mon man, stay for KF's celebration.
