IT'S TIME!!! IOWA HAWKEYES GO TO THE PLAYOFFS-Michigan St. goes home crying.

[tweeterhawk]

We're losing the war of attrition here. If I'm not mistaken we're down 0-3 on starters injured in this game. Anyone surprised playing a Dirtballtonio team? Apparently late ankle grabs and head-hunting are being allowed tonight. Our guys need to respond.

 

[Garandx]

Iowa will need to continue this defensive performance, the offense needs touchdowns.

 

[bcl20]

I do feel as though we're getting out physicaled which means we'll be the ones who wear down. I hope we can get a stop and score to start the half.

 

[bcl20]

It'd be nice if we could get a pass off deep...

 

[99topdawg]

Feels like the '85 Michigan game. Close, low scoring, and had a TD taken away from us. In the Mich game, it was taken by a bad call, this was by a freak int (even though we actually missed out on a FG).

 

[bcl20]

We're running better than them...God, this game feels so close.

 

[99topdawg]

Use two people. TE or RB to help

Yep, at the very least, we have to use a TE to chip him to the inside. Too much for Myers to handle.

Commentators are struggling to justify Iowa in it.

 

[ClintonIAfan]

Keep up the running, and sneak a few deep passes in. I like the way they are mixing up the run plays. I am sure they have some more tricks.

My heart can't take this.

 

[KCHawkeye]

Commentators saying Sunshine outplayed Cook. Oh, really?

We've slightly outplayed them in my eyes.

 

[tweeterhawk]

How do you stop Calhoun

Go helmet to helmet on him? Roll up late on his ankle/knee? I don't know. Seems to be working for Sparty...

Time for injury pendulum to swing spartys way in 2nd half.

 

[judzeehawk]

Gosh this is stressful! Deep breaths Deap breaths Deap breaths............... Ok lets play this second half. Defense is playing a heck of a game. Hope they hang in there until the offense gets it put together.

Said the same thing to the wife.... might come down to a game winning FG

It will if we get any momentum. We've seen strategic "injuries" from Dirtballtonio before...

 

[ClintonIAfan]

I like Iowa's odds on a game winning FG, MK does well under pressure much like Rob Houghtlin was.

 

[bcl20]

We're winning at half time. We can freaking do it. Get in the endzone this half.

 

[Biggusblockus]

That was helmet to helmet in the EZ and was also targeting. Dirty tonio in full effect.
