IOWA-Northern Iowa official game thread

I'm startin to think Ferentz's bad clock management is intentional. He has to be doing it on purpose.

Hopefully we will see the offense wear them down and run through them in the second half.

 

[BigD]

I think the first half of this game is going to get some of the 10-0 predictions to re-think their thoughts.

Lol, no doubt

UNI's opening drive of the 2nd half will set the tone for the rest of he game.

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.

Good point. Another good reason to show Kurt the door.

I don't disagree, but it's not going to happen so I try to enjoy the games anyway.

Looks like Kirk wants to work on the passing game today. Defense is showing signs of stoppage and confusion. Secondary and Linebackers getting confused giving up some big plays. UNI helping with the penalties but Iowa can't count on that. Couple of long possessions for the offense and UNI defense may be on the ropes. They have been on the field a lot.

I wonder what Kirk has for a game plan. I can't figure out if they want to be a passing or run team or if they're just trying not to embarrass themselves.

Hawkeyewalker, enjoying your ground beef/ground pork meal right now. It's great thanks for the suggestion.

I'm no expert but it seems maybe down inside the 10 we should switch to man to man offensive blocking when we have a size advantage and just pound it helmet to helmet and score between the tackles.

It looks like they wanted to work on the passing game, but then settled on not wanting to embarrass themselves. Ooops...too late

Well played sir. Its a solid option for game day. Glad you like it.

 

[spliff45]

Kollmorgan out with a concussion? I missed that

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Positive note. New kicker looks solid.

 

[spliff45]

nevermind

 

[smhawk]

So what's the story on Johnson. Did he not have the grades for iowa or simply hidden talent?

 

[jacknicholson]

Positive note. New kicker looks solid.

Certainly does, that was a difficult angle for the FG

 

[tksirius]

Norm Parker was the best thing to ever happen to IA Football.

 

[HawkIMalaise]

Thanks for the bad throw. Would have been another 3rd and long successful first on our vaunted defensive backfield.
