IOWA-Northern Iowa official game thread

More Bo Bower on the field please! The defense looked so much better with him out there. I also liked the pass rush a lot today, even without the blitz, Davis, JJ and LTP are looking dominant!
 
ISU getting trounced 34-17

There goes one of the wins the Clowns were counting on. Their vaunted offense sputtered, coughed and stalled. Didn't help that Buzard got hurt early. And their defense was what we expected. Almost none existent.
 
For all my b1tching today, both the offense and defense stepped up when it mattered. Congrats, men. It was a hard fought win against a good UNI team.

I will second that. Did you see all the good teams that UNI played and only lost by a touchdown or less?
 
Judging the fortunes of your season based on first game performance has made a fool of many a football fan. Yes, we have much work to do but when haven't most Iowa teams......especially early in the season.

Who would have guessed the 2009 season outcome based on our UNI first game performance or another year when we beat UNI more convincingly but go on to a sub par year overall?
 
This game will go along way to teaching our guys at the linebacker position and in our secondary. I feel very fortunate to get a win. Penalties by UNI cost them this game.
 
I see Purdue got the win over western michigan. Nice win for them. Western michigan is not a cupcake
 
We all get it. You sniff Kurt's dirty old balls.

Ahhh, the old "chugger" comeback. Yep, I've been pretty clear that I think, overall, KF is a good coach. I've also been pretty clear that he has some faults I don't like.

But I'll repeat it again for you, in my opinion, the pros*out way the coins.

Narrative, sometimes trumps facts for some.
 
I don't post much on this, because there's no reason to, really, I suck... But here's one for what it's worth. That tksirius poster - powers that be keeping him around for comedic value? I don't get it. A post like that on any site I would manage = instant ban. No reason for it, especially after a tough 1st game - our newish defense against a quality team that has a decent offense... Head scratcher...

Good win overall. Red zone O was better today than it's been in awhile. Only 2 real mistakes on O...Hillyer's fumble and Scherf's false start in the red zone. Plenty to clean up in LB pass coverage, but the next two weeks should allow for that as neither Ball State or the Clowns present much in the way of TE or RB pass catchers that will present the kinds of issues that Johnson presented today.

Bower and the DL looked really good. We stayed healthy. Not a whole lot to be disappointed in.

I keep waiting for the day that Jon actually enforces his own forum rules. Constant negative posting....constantly calling our head coach Kurt as if that's supposed to be funny...personal attacks...seems like most anything goes nowadays...
