IOWA-Northwestern comes back to reality game thread.

[EstronHawkKing]

A bit harsh. Frosh kicker, has made a number of kicks that have helped us get to 6-0.

Yes, he needs to regain some confidence.

Remember, if he doesn't make some really big 40+ yard kicks...we have a couple losses.

Maybe so, heat of the moment post right after he missed the FG before the half. But you have to admit, he's missed some really easy kicks in the past two games. I fear that it may cost us this game.

This defense and Wadley will save us. The second half will be a blood bath.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Did he have a brother kicking last year or something?

Cousin.

 

[proudhawkfan21]

People should quit making excuses for poor play. Should we stop keeping score and just enjoy the game? You can be called out for not doing your job. Koehn needs to focus and nail anything else today. Now, the rest of the team needs to pick him up. Use Wadley's speed as it is obvious NW can't contain his burst of speed. Be patient with the run....hit the TE's.....put the Rudock shackles on CJB......and hope the defense doesn't sit back passive the entire second half.

If we were up by 10 I'd say we hold on but we can't adjust, we're playing chess with 6 pieces. We need a miracle.

We need a miracle when we're winning? I would hate to see what we would need to do if we were actually losing.

 

[hawkinn3]

Only positive is I guarantee jnw doesn't win out and may. West is still on the table.

 

[ClintonIAfan]

Iowa's defense and power running will control the second half.

It may cost us. And the missed xps are very weird, that's gotta be mental or holds or something, can't have that for sure.

As far as FGs though, isn't he like 9-11 on the season, maybe 8-11. Not bad.

Hell make up for it in the 2nd, and make 3 xps....

don't apologize....its not harsh at all. Apologize? BS!!!!! He needs to make the kicks. This isn't the California Penal League or the Hugs and Kisses Daycare team......make the damn kicks. This is big time football. You won a game with a great kick. Nice. Nice. Now do your job...you aren't a hero for hitting a 34 yard fg...you are doing your job. Ever seen the movie Full Medal Jacket? Think a few members of the defense might invest in soap and pillowcases if we lose?

 

[1hawkeye1]

Jeebus this is the longest halftime ever. At this rate Ott and Canzerri will be back for the 2nd half.

 

[hawkinn3]

We have no momentum

 

[1hawkeye1]

Looks like jNW is gonna try and pick up the pace to wear down our D

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Iowa has to blitz and make the QB uncomfortable.

 

[hawkinn3]

Why aren't we covering anybody. Every route is wide open.

 

[proudhawkfan21]

so much for not playing passive defense

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

We are playing off the wrs. We'll see....

 

[hawkinn3]

Stop is Huge

 

[1hawkeye1]

How about a nice long drive and a healthy serving of A&W culminating in a Hawkeye TD. Would that be so wrong?

 

[1hawkeye1]

Iowa has to blitz and make the QB uncomfortable.

Doesn't look like that's in the gameplan today.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

tensions running high.

Put us at ease offense.
