Struggling on offense has been happening since 1999. Did you come into this game expecting that to change?

I thought it would play out differently

great read by Jewell and bower

I'm telling you, Kirk is too scared to put someone else in. Early in the game against a terrible team with great field position is the only time he feels safe doing it. What's funny is when you have great field position, you want your best chance to score. It really shows how conservative Kirk thinks.

you are stating the obvious

Epstein done for IL, which is a break. Iowa could/should have been called for PI.

Nate Stanley on the year. 15 touchdowns 2 interceptions.

Those are crazy numbers. It shows that stats are extremely misleading sometimes.

So you're saying the coach has good players to work with? Welcome to reality. Remember how Rudock got better when he had a different coach?

Hope the hawks can get out of this and maybe get two weeks of practice with welsh back at his guard spot and wirfs etc, we need to be a 50-50 run-pass team on first down, throw in some more screens on 2nd and more than 5, and find wadley with throws when he is in space, they could be dangerous then

It's hard to throw interceptions when your passes are 10 yards further than everyone

 

[PCHawk]

you are stating the obvious

It must not be too obvious since peop le keep saying Wadley was being punished.

 

[HawkGold]

Hope KF keeps trying to strike. George is looking like his dad at times.

Iowa State is up on Oklahoma.

you realize that's not going to hold.......It is just enough for the ISU fan base to have a moral victory

Toren Young sighting

 

[uihawk82]

that was a really poor spot on Youngs big carry

 

[thedukeofearl]

Iowa really looking to take control of the game say the announcers

So they run it up the middle on first down

 

[HawkGold]

Looking much better. Much better

 

[Garandx]

Illinois is done

 

[Ben Rumson]

Oh I get it we're a second half team!

 

[PCHawk]

How many more touchdowns does Wadley need for the record?

 

[uihawk82]

Why dont we see this from the first offensive snap of the game? We have weapons, Nate looks much more grooved in the 2nd half, maybe he is like a young drew tate who was always so jacked up
