IOWA-Purdue bites the big one game thread.

[Robowe]

Watch the fake. Their FG kicker has struggled.

 

[BigD]

Need to stop them here. Watch for the fake.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Playing off by 15 yards.

Need to start the 2nd half like we did the first.

 

[vork22]

Purdue keeps this close and we can kiss #5 goodbye. Joke performance by the defense so far and being out coached.

 

[Omaherky]

Why do we give 5 yard cushions on receivers? WTF!?! Our coaches better start doing their job.

 

[mopkins]

It's like the end of the gopher game all over again. Playing 10 yards off the receivers

 

[hawkeyewx]

I'm glad they kicked the FG. I don't think Iowa's D can stop anyone four times.

 

[judzeehawk]

Well that's better than a TD. They better get their head screwed on straight for the 2nd. half!

 

[docholihawk]

Why do our coordinators do things going completely away from the game plan. If the fans wouldn't do it why do our coordinators do things that won't work. I know, they need to be evaluated.

 

[docholihawk]

Got to take a break after a miserable 2nd quarter.

 

[Stanzi]

That was a terrible second quarter. This game should be over by now.

 

[briney11]

Ferentz gameplan is get a lead then stick our heads up our butts and hope that we don't lose. But if we do, oh well, that's football.

 

[Stanzi]

Mabin playing 10 yards off his man on that 3rd down made me want to throw the remote through the TV.

 

[BigD]

I don't know if our defense is just tired (season fatigue) or what but it seems like the last three games the intensity has dropped off.

 

[STLhawkeye20]

It bothers the hell out of me that teams, especially Purdue with a FREAKING BACKUP Q, can basically complete passes underneath at will against us. What will OSU's QB do to us in the championship game? Or the bowl team's QB? Scary.

 

[Hawk10k]

I think things will turn back in our favor after some adjustments

 

[brhawks18]

Basically a 20 point first quarter by Iowa and then stop doing what's working.

Going soft on D and Greg Davis calling a QB draw. That's what rubs me the wrong way with the program. Undefeated or not, keep doing what's working.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Blitz...the...QB.

 

[hawkinn3]

Just checked the score after flying in to Vegas, wth Hawks?

Our D line is a serious liability....that and Phil Parker.
