It's Game Day, Boys!!!

[MelroseHawkins]

Boy did MG pick a good time to have his best game. It took him awhile to get comfy with the O and everything this yr but I'm glad we got to see the best of him. He's legit. He's one tough SOB. He's a leader I'm ecstatic that he was a Hawk for us.

The O overall was really damn good. Lester called a phenomenal game. Outside that playcall the interception came from ( I despised just the thought of it. Why throw a slant at the goal line in traffic to your big RB on a 1st and goal from the 4? We'd been running it well just pound it in) Besides that I'd be nitpicking big time Lester called a whale of a game and I'm praying nobody poaches him be it the NFL or anyone else.

Defense was both awesome at times especially the first half (watching 43 blast Pavia a couple times was spectacular) and then also not very good at all. Pavia put up a wave of stats almost all in the 2nd half we all wish he hadn't. But end of the day we got the W.

Got the bowl W which gives KF the most for anyone ever in the BIG and also a W against a ranked team for the first time in however many games it'd been so that monkey is off his back. Great day to be a Hawkeye!!!!!

You do that because the D is not going to have an idea it's coming and I'm sure they have been practicing and having that play in their arsenal for that situation. If worked, everybody would be saying hell of a call by Lester. Hindsight is hindsight.

Another armless whiff tackle by Nwankpa.

Dude’s a total bum. Give a freshman a chance

It's a non opt-out opt out.

Problem is when your just going through the motions thats when you end up getting hurt. Or the other option is the one X has chosen-Sugsr Ray Leonard style whiff and backpedal.

One thing about Iowa, there’s no football team on the planet better at eating up clock. Not even close

Or making the opposing team eat up clock with great punting and zone defense.

Classic second half with the lead Kirkball. When he thinks he has enough points he doesn't even want his offense on the field unless it's in the opponent's territory. Our offense can't commit a costly turnover when they're not on the field.

He lost the Heisman, he didn't get to go to the playoffs, he lost his bowl game.

And to the best part is, he wasn't the best QB in the bowl game...and he played Iowa.

Pavia is a legend in his own mind.
