I think the hawks can maul these guys if they just run run run and worry about pass much later.

NIU runs so quiuckly, worries me they will break one

This. Patience. Heat/run game will wear down smaller NIU dline

i bet they punt now.

edit: on second thought, considering field position, no way they're punting.

double edit: i'm a dumb ***, i ment FG, not punt.

No kidding. Yah, he let go of the ball....but when you have two untouched defenders stick you right in the gut, it's gonna be hard to hold on.
Offensive line-not impressed so far
defensive line-not impressed so far

at the beginning of the play there were not enough iowa blockers to run left!!! I don't know the check off philosophy - but ignore the overload is stupid

 

[kickout]

FG good.

NIU: 3 Iowa: 0
