How in the heck did we hang with Penn State?

They let us

 

[Ben Rumson]

bend, but brake defense.

Sometimes I think it's the Brokeback Mountain defense

How did we beat Michigan and lose to NDSU?

This is Iowa.

Hung with them for 500 and something yards.

I’m fairly sure PSU isn’t great.

Would have liked to have seen the raider package on that last defensive stand and also a few blitz’s.

Because college football is a lot about emotion. A night game against a top 5 team is nothing like an 11 am game in the rain against a terrible team. Average teams can beat good teams when they play good and lose to bad teams when they play bad.

Seeing number 3 Iowa looks awesome.

Hope you took a picture.

Do we even run that anymore? It was fun to watch so I doubt it.

 

[uihawk82]

Wadley definitely trying to stay north and south

 

[PCHawk]

Hope you took a picture.

A mental one.

So what was the point of running Young and IKM on first drive and then play Wadley exclusively since?

 

[uihawk82]

Now that is the way to set up a third down and short throw. Cmon hawks lets get that 15 point lead

 

[thedukeofearl]

Stanley running the team rather well this series

As I said, I think they wanted to send a message to AW not to dance around but run through the hole, dont dance until you have to.

 

[BigD]

I liked the pass on that third and two. Now they and everyone in the stadium is expected a run on this next play. This is the PERFECT time for play action for a loooooooooong pass for six.

 

[uihawk82]

That was a nice job of the defense only giving up 3 points when illini had a strong wind behind them.

now get that td then play tighter defense

I was thinking the same thing. If this is the game plan from here on out.. They will continue to struggle on offense.

They wanted to show wadley how not to fumble the ball away. Oh wait
