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

[docholihawk]

So you guys feeling much better about the program now? Seemed like lots of people jumped ship last week. Nice win.

I don't know about jumping ship but there was a lot of negative comments last week myself included.

 

[seepig]

Only controversy is why should we keep this coaching staff around when it takes them 3.5 games to pull their heads out.

 

[Motigerhawk]

JR tweaked his knee.

 

[Garandx]

Iowa defense really woke up second half, held pitt to only 182 rushing day total.

 

[Omaherky]

Now, let's see what happens if CJ is the starter. It took Stanzi a bit to adjust. I remember Jake coming in to rescue Hawks vs ISU once.

Stanzi was a pick 6 machine on the screen right on that transition.

Biggest critic here. I just did. Hope he keeps proving me wrong.

well done

I know it'll be all about CJB, but the D played awesome in the second half.

Because the offense was able to sustain drives and the d got rest. Makes a huge difference.

Well, you have had your head buried longer than that, yet you are still here!

Props to the Defense's turnaround and the CJ inspired offense! Good job!!!

Yep. It took him a while to adjust as well. We will see.

Completely different team in the second half than we've seen all year, that actually looked like Iowa football. Responded to getting punched in the mouth in the first half and Beathard looked really good. First time all year that I have some confidence going forward.

If Jake is healthy next week, does he start?

 

[docholihawk]

You must have given several warnings to several members today. Or you just picked me out of the crowd. Huh.

Most of your comments were pretty negative and I don't know what the warning was for but maybe you crossed the line. There were a loy of negative comments about KF and his coaching but nothing personal that I know of.

 

[Motigerhawk]

Maybe CJB isnt Stanzi. He might be Chuck Long with athleticism. Or Brad Banks that can throw better.

Who cares now? Really? Enjoy this game for 5 minutes, maybe 10. Then, let's see what unfolds.

Stopped the Panthers Cold, held them to a field goal in the second half.....

Wow! Really? Settle down just a bit. Maybe Vlasic with some moves.

We might have righted the ship, Doc....

Time will tell.....

Kirk royally screwed up the Stanzi/Christensen situation for a few weeks and it was pretty clear cut who was the better QB (one guy is on an NFL roster, the other played for some German league team which I didn't know existed until I googled his name to double check the spelling)

Ruddock/Beathard isn't as clear cut I don't think (though who knows, C.J has some skills) so I wouldn't be shocked if Jake starts next week.

Most? I don't think so. Regardless, I didn't realize this place was a Nanny State. I'll consider another board, so I don't offend so many members here. Have a nice day, sir.
