**** OFFICIAL IOWA - MINNESOTA GAME THREAD ****

[trj]

The wind is an issue, but Jake has to do better at releasing the ball sooner. With a quicker release, you can negate some of the arm strength issues. But he has to trust his WR will be at the spot....Jake waits till they are open.

He isn't an NFL QB, he can't throw people open.

I told you all this was going to be an issue -- 2 batted passes & an underthrown pick. He was overthinking the wind all week + now being more cautious + weaker arm. This is why the conditions favor seeing more of CJB -- stronger arm to more accurately place the ball in the wind.

Keep an eye on this...

From on the field - wind totally knocked that ball down... it's brutal down here!
Arm strength didn't matter there

Exactly what I'm saying. Davis should know better. I mean, he has been coaching what 40 years or so? He's so horrible!

Wadley must not have practiced well

 

[1hawkeye1]

smh...................

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

More running lanes that a faster back would break...Need to ride Weisman in the fourth, but Iowa NEEDS to use a quicker back early.

 

[DBAHawkFan]

We are getting out hustled right now

 

[Sparky]

Not a fundamentally sound football team.

 

[dekhawks]

Cmon Hawks wake up

 

[trj]

it's early, but this is starting to feel like a loss

 

[spliff45]

Punting game is still nothing short of pathetic

 

[atxhawk]

Where's Wadley?

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Granted, Minny is selling out to stop Weisman (something Hawks have yet to do, although it prolly wouldn't matter, as bad as the LB's are) but he's running extremely soft, today. He's slowing up, more than usual, to take the hit rather than running through. C'mon, Mark.

Punting game is still nothing short of pathetic

1. Fumbled KO - start at 5
2. INT
3. Blocked Punt

Basically 3 TO's....

fortunate to be tied at the moment

 

[NCHawker]

Jake isn't very sharp today. WR have to be WIDE OPEN. That INT - he threw it too late and too softe

 

[DDStretch]

Careful talking about our running back not getting it done between the 20s guys. Your thumbs down count will soar.

 

[DBAHawkFan]

I thought we were back???

We are getting back to being predictable on offense. And MW is a back you ride in the 4th Q and goal line. A quicker back and we have more points, no doubt. OL has opened some really big holes and he's just been too slow.

The key is Jake now. He's been picked off, hit hard....does he start getting happy feet and checking down? Or can he keep his cool, and hit his medium range targets?

 

[dekhawks]

Um head in the sand today

 

[trj]

King get caught peeking?????

 

[Hawk4Fan]

Rudock is not the answer at an. Why this joke of a head coach keeps starting the 2nd best an on the roster just keeps showing everybody how incompetent he is now
