*****OFFICIAL GAME THREAD***** Iowa -v- Purdue

[docholihawk]

What is going on with 4th downs this year. Kicking has been better. I wish KF had as much aggression on the first three downs as he does on fourth.

 

[zhawk21]

4th and 3 is no gimme. Take the points and the LEAD. unreal.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Good playcall by Purdue.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Everyone knew that screen was coming but Iowa. Jesus he was calling for the ball right out of the backfield.

 

[jacknicholson]

That was the ugliest play of the game

 

[Omaherky]

This is the part of the game our defense Bends and doesn't break but we're going to find ourselves with six minutes left in the fourth quarter to win the game.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

I'm ok with the fourth down call and going for a first

I'm OK with it too but I hated passing twice there. Especially on 3rd and then coming back with a play that needs a near perfect pass to get the first.

 

[trj]

this is just hideous football

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Ferentz is so absolutely clueless in game situations, how does a coach who was so good ten years ago get to this point?

 

[jacknicholson]

This coaching. Oh my god.

Time for the rosary beads, mine are bloody from use.....

Exactly.

Danny Entling stinks...we can't beat these clowns?

 

[BigD]

Defense playing tighter

After watching the UCLA ASU game the other night. This game seriously looks like it's in slow motion.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

I'm ok with the fourth down call and going for a first

Not sure I understand why? On the road 10-10 in a battle and you don't want the lead? lol Ok..

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

That Purdue QB is getting hit a lot. I like it.

 

[Hawk4Fan]

Momentum on that 4th down stop goes right to Purdue and now Iowa loses the game

 

[jacknicholson]

One of the better Defensive games in a while....

 

[DBAHawkFan]

If we play a team with a decent QB, we will get smoked

 

[BigD]

That play went for ought
