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

Why did Tevaun Smith get taken out after his first down catch and run? Too much rotation and Canzeri clearly isn't 100%

Run out of the pocket.. Extend the play man!!

I bet we see CJ next series.


no reason not to

I like the change up in play calling. I hope KF sees that he needs to make changes. Why does it seem like we have to lose a game before we make changes. After the way we played against UNI and especially against Ball State we should have made changes last week.

Triple covered on one route...someone had to have been open, right?

How ironic that Jake is throwing passes into the ground at Pitt.

Jake is very unsure of himself. Looks uncomfortable in the pocket.

Thumbs Up! Pitt ain't blitzing and the line is looking darn good. I suspect this won't last long. Gonna need the D to pitch a shutout to have a chance to win this one!

 

[vork22]

With the receivers that we have why is Vandeberg ever on the field?

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Come on D get a turnover

 

[DBAHawkFan]

Straight from the Jake Christensen playbook.

This Jake is really struggling when his first option is open. He had no one around him and he got happy feet in pocket while throwing that pass.

Luckily, it was in the dirt cause there were around 5 defenders.

This offense is a joke. We don't have to throw the ball 50 yards down the field, but we need to throw it further than 8 yards.

That looked like a catch to me. I think they were hoping for a review on that one

So why did V not even argue, he got up saw the incomplete signal, tossed ball to official and ran back to huddle.

Every Iowa QB that has a good first year under KF regresses his next. They must fill their heads with so much fear.

 

[gohawkz]

We need to go back to doing more of that...rolling out. Cuts down the field and decisions for the qb. Rudock's strong point is not scanning the field and going through his progressions to find the open receiver. That's very tough for many college football qb's to do. We used to roll out with quite a bit of success.

Not necessarily because Davis prolly had all the receivers run to the same spot.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...this team makes me want to take a nap.

This!

I think that was an intentional throw-away. but it still brings up bad memories.

Just get him out and get the good QB in, to bad KF to dumb to do that

The defense may need to score too.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Feel like the play calling has been better so far today. For once...it actually is execution.
