Having two son’s I feel for the tough situation Kirk is in. Hopefully changes can be made and improvement can be made. I think last year as we went through this same scenario things were over looked because we kept winning despite poor offensive output.
Also, it’s got to be challenging for players to put out all the efforts in personal preparation and sacrifice to lose this way and especially to a cross state rival. It’s just a sad situation all the way around.
First reactions as a fan on Saturday is to be mad and upset, but as day two rolls around disappointment and sadness sets in. Even though it’s just a sport, you look forward during the off season with hope for the best.
As a dad I just can’t imagine how difficult it is for Kirk. The press nationwide has been very negative toward Iowa’s offense. Everyone in the press knows very well who is running the offense. Even though there has been a lot of criticism of the offense in general, the press has been fairly respectful in not making it too personal.
Maybe a change at QB will be good for the whole team. Wouldn’t mind seeing this freshman that so many seem high on. Why not build for the future. Just hope nobody gets injured, including Spencer. The offensive line looked really bad and has to take a lot of the blame. It just didn’t help matters that when there was time for Spencer to throw he missed open receivers. Just a sad series of events offensively.
On a bright note the defense has done a great job. Kirk himself defended the defense on that long drive that ISU got, by mildly indicating that a defense can only do so much without help from other aspects of the team.
