Line Play

[CharlestonHawkeye]

Iowa with consistent pressure on the QB on defense and opening huge holes in the running game AND giving lots of time for the passing game.

Now clean up the kick return coverage and we'll be solid all around.

Yeah no sacks but a ton of holding on ISU and alot of pressue, stat line will be misleading.

Line play was unbelievable on both sides of the ball today.

No sacks? Iowa had at least 2 that I remember.

Was very very impressed with the Oline today. They really look like they have gelled nicely.

The first half of this game may have been one of the best that I can remember. Our play was so completely dominate in all phases in the first half. I have been cautiously optimistic on the potential of what this team can achieve this year, but after this game, the big ten and national championship appear very achievable.

First of all, you guys completely dominated every part of the game except kick returns.

ISUs Oline was terrible or at least looked it today. They were holding all over just so that the QB didn't die today.

I thought your Oline was good. I thought that ISUs Dline held there ground but no one could turn initial contact into a tackle. Props to the RBs on that.

I don't know about the passing game. We didn't create any pressure. No secondary can have success when a guy is allowed to run 60 yards to get open. Stanzi looked good though. He made the throws.

Our QB play was terrible, mostly due to the QB but the Oline takes some blame too.

O-Line was awesome! Stanzi had all day to throw and well 200+ yards rushing speaks for itself.
