IOWA-Northern Iowa official game thread

I don't even know where to begin to describe that half

Uninspiring football so far.

 

[docholihawk]

That was one of the least inspiring 17 point half performances that I've seen. This game reeks of upset.

General Iowa first game of the season mixed with the usual of obscenely bad clock management.

 

[tksirius]

Here's to hoping UNI is an undefeated stellar team the rest of the way. If not, we in for a long season.

 

[LawVHawk]

I thought the clock started once the kicker hits the ball.

No. It's when it's fielded by a player who then attempts a legal football play.

 

[Garandx]

Could be worse. OSU losing to navy 7-6 at half.

 

[judzeehawk]

Wish they would rip that sideways pass out of the playbook and burn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PhotoHawk]

Any word on Willies? Is he still dinged or just not able to get separation? Running back by committee happening as advertised. ..does that mean we also see a Beathard sighting in the second half?

 

[tksirius]

Why are there rule changes every year?

 

[PCHawk]

So we run a 2 minute drill with 3 timeouts and if they would have called our guy out of bounds we would have went to the locker with 2 of them!? And the one we use is after a penalty where the clock is stopped tell they set the ball? Wow that's bad! Its simple, if the player is down inbounds short of the 1st down use a timeout!

 

[mrolympia]

the hawks need to find some pass defense and throw it more than 5 yards down field or it'll be an UGLY season.

 

[Sparky]

I still think Iowa will win.

Not a bad half, LBs are very raw and all the UNI points are because of some mistakes we can clean up easily. Ruddock needs to look downfield but overall we are playing well. The sky is not falling.

You do realize we are playing The University of Northern Iowa, right?

 

[spliff45]

FWIW.... ISU blows a 14-0 lead and trails 17-14 going into half

 

[Sparky]

It could be worse. We could be losing going into half like some other team...

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Iowa needs to RUN, RUN and RUN more in 2nd Half.

 

[hawkinn3]

You do realize that Kirk's iowa teams always play down to competition and games are almost always close, correct? Is this your first year watching Iowa? It was foolish to expect anything else.

The Big announcers are somewhat impressed with our D......
