hey chief, a word of free advice: don't troll the Iowa game thread during the first game of the season. Or any game, for that matter. It makes you look like an attention-starved child.

Was hoping Paki would get his second Td for the game.

pretty close guess, huh? yep, patting myself on the back.
All in all a good first effort....Stanzi shows a lot more patience...defense is solid but for one glitchy TD....Adam Robinson looks great and we still have Jewell's return to look forward to...a few hiccups on offense but nothing that looked like a long term problem...all in all I am fired up seeing the boys in black and gold....bring on the CLOWNS!

221 post vintage, im not trolling. Its my first hawkeye game im listening to on the radio and just noticeing this. Hawkeyes are playing great just kinda think the announcers are being alittle rude is all.
I thought we played pretty well....for a first game, shaking the rust off....EIU would have been shut out but for a trick play and a big pass....offensive positives were Stanzi showing some maturity not forcing things and Robinson looking good....sure we weren't perfect but we looked like a top 10 team shaking the summer dust off but not showing any problems that should worry us....stop with the teeth gnashing about the Cy-clown game....

I kind of agree. I liked the fast start, we haven't seen that in the past couple of seasons, so that was really encouraging (irrespective of opponent).
But I didn't like the stagnation later in the game; it suggests let-up and cockiness, which could be disastrous with any of our other foes.
Iowa's D line is freaking unreal. Add Binns and thats easily the best Dline around (that hasnt taken money from an agent anyway).
Stanzi looked about the same as last year.
I thought Robinson ran really well.
Your new kickoff guy has a really nice leg. Wow
Iowa as always has about 100 play making TEs.
Hopefully next week will go by without any injuries to either side.

I noticed that. I was thinking to myself, "who are you and what have you done with KO'K?!?"

I thought the O-line did a good job today and Robinson ran hard as he always does. Hampton says he is hungry and he is going to have to be to earn his carries. Can't wait to see them battle it out. I only noticed one shot down the field today where McNutt was wide open and Rick overthrew it a bit but then again when you are running it down their throat who cares. Pretty good first game overall. Bring on the clones baby.

I tend to disagree a little bit. Under heavy pressure today, he quickly tucked the ball away and ran, or took the sack, or threw it with a quicker release into a safe zone without telegraphing.

Ricky going out was scary, but not as scary as last year. Vandenberg came in an drove down for a TD. Looks like he put on some much needed wieght. So now we know that Iowa has two solid QB's, two solid RB's. Good recievers, and a work-in progress O'line.
Defensively the line was dominating as you would expect. I lost count how many times Adrian was in the backfield. Ballard looked great. I think the secondary was out of position more than they should have been.

I agree about your QB observation. While I was literally holding my breath when RS went down, I didn't feel that accompanying panic bolt about JV stepping in. Not even a little bit. And JV engineered a terrific drive.
The one big difference I noticed between our QBs was voice tone - RS barks out his cadence and signals, and JV...well, let's just say he sounded like a Tenor, and Ricky's a Baritone.
