**** OFFICIAL IOWA - NORTHWESTERN GAME THREAD ****

[cincyhawk]

How did NW beat Penn State?

 

[IowaFan81]

Canzeri may have just lost his playing time. And no carries for Bullock.

 

[Hawk4Fan]

CJ is just money at QB, love the throws on 3rd down, the zip and right on the money....

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Outside of a bad snap, fumble, and a couple missed tackles...Damn good game.

 

[PhoenixHawk]

I

guess Kirk didn't see AK do this in practice.

 

[IowaFan81]

How did NW beat Penn State?

And Wisconsin. So Iowa is even with Wisconsin? Iowa loses close to Maryland and blows out NW while Wisconsin loses close to NW and blows out Maryland.

No Sympy for pat fitz

We can only hope now that we are turning the corner, next week is going to tell us a lot..

 

[herky01]

Our first 100 ya rusher is a guy who didn't see the field till the second half of the 8th game. Very confusing, this game is.

I think you mean Kirk's personnel decisions are confusing...

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

CJ is just money at QB, love the throws on 3rd down, the zip and right on the money....

Great to have a really solid backup!

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Great job Hawks.

 

[BlindDogScooter]

Excellent game! Great day to be a Hawkeye!

 

[Clark]

We can only hope now that we are turning the corner, next week is going to tell us a lot..

I predict Iowa won't win by 40 next week. I hope people won't be disappointed in that. I think they've got the o-line figured out though which will really help the running game which will really help the passing game.

 

[gohawkz]

So fricking awesome to see this happen vs Fitzgerald. An actual beatdown while he can slink back home with a 3-5 record.

 

[PhoenixHawk]

Great game for Iowa, but NU is a bad, poorly coached team as well.

Exactly. I've learned not to get too up or down with this team. Many thought we had it rolling when we beat Indiana but then we played Maryland.

Certainly fun to see them come out aggressive like they did today, hope it continues!

 

[Hawk4Fan]

Great to have a really solid backup!

To bad any coach with a brain would have him starting since he is BETTER than the starter right now...unforrunatly for Cj he has a brain dead head coach!

 

[PCHawk]

Who saw Wadley coming as Iowa's first 100-yard rusher of the 2014 season?

Looks like the jokes on you AIRBHG!...just kidding I'm sorry I'm sorry.

If the Hawks play vertical versus horizontal, as they did for most of today, they are a different team. That's stating the obvious of course, but will KF and GD realize what can happen when you go down field instead of side line to side line.

The game is more exciting, the fans are happier, the announcers doing the game as well as post game show take notice and you win big.

The question is, which philosophy shows up next week? Vertical or horizontal?

 

[Cory]

Great win but it appears JRs two "great games" have come against two of the three worst teams in the Big Ten and both were at home. Two good games and six average to bad games still doesn't make me feel to comfortable with the ending schedule.

If KF, GD, and JR can prove me wrong then I will eat crow but I think it's telling when fans are going crazy about JRs performance against Indiana and Northwestern.
