Ball State is showing Iowa how to play Iowa ball thus far............kicking game, field position, time of possession, defense, capitalize on mistakes.
We avoided playing to our core strength ......pound the ball, wear them out in the later innings. Is our OL in that tough of shape? Pass the ball to set up the run has never proved to be a successful approach to a good year for the Hawks.
Still don't know what we were trying to accomplish with player personel shuffling to start the game.
Time to give Beathard a fair chance with 3 points on the board nearing the end of the third quarter but that wouldn't be conservative thinking.
