*** OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: IOWA @ PITTSBURGH ***

That's just a kick in the nuts to start the day.

Nice job by the D to hold after a terrible first play.

We finally get a decent jake bomb and now the WR ****s the bed, we can't win.

 

[gohawkz]

That was a good pass. Wow...that's Iowa football right now.

Yep. If this team were a person they'd win the lotto then while walking across the street to cash in the ticket they'd get hit by a bus.

 

[Stanzi]

Wow. That Powell drop defines our season. Hands it to the other team for an interception. And now our offense will go back in its shell.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

The calls looked better.

How so?

 

[Melissa]

It was slightly overthrown. Beathard would have thrown it perfectly just sayin

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

The calls looked better.

Agreed. Old school play action pass with a massive drop and Jake threw it right on target. Hope we go back to that play...maybe with Willes next time.

 

[hawkinn3]

Nice hold by the D

 

[HawkIMalaise]

How so?

We actually TRIED the deep ball. Hell we should do it again.

 

[seepig]

I guess we know why Damon's playing time has been limited. Dude can't catch. bobbled CJB's laser then Jake's. Can't we recruit people who can run and catch?

 

[docholihawk]

2nd offensive series. This series will show if anything will change on offense this year. It was a near miss on the deep throw. Powell can get by the defense, we can't give up on deep balls.

Time will tell Malaise.

Freak interception but it was good to see the long pass

More like they would fail to claim the ticket in time. You know, the horrible clock management thing and all.

 

[okeefe4prez]

That was an O'Keefe playcall - nice play action, just needed better execution by the WR.

 

[Melissa]

It is amazing how someone can be SO athletic, yet unable to catch a ball.

 

[BigD]

Come right back and throw it Long again

 

[turfpest]

Wow. That Powell drop defines our season. Hands it to the other team for an interception. And now our offense will go back in its shell.

He dropped it because he couldn't believe a pass from an Iowa QB was going towards a wide receiver.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Smith has such sneaky speed.

 

[smhawk]

Good throw ruddock. Just a bit ahead of him but it was the ideal based on defense. Tough break.
