*****Official Iowa tames the Bulldogs game thread*****

[karras]

ESPN clowns surprised Ferets let the clock run down to half time. You haven’t watched much Iowa football have you?

Be grateful, they were basically calling out the staff. Makes it harder for the press to ignore it

"That was dumb football."

He's actually letting Brian run the game. This is encouraging.

 

[MikeyLikesIowa]

Ferentz owns up to dumb football by his son lol

I was just going to ask if anyone else caught that too.

On a personal note I I would like to thank Molly's parents!

Step aside Erin Andrews.

I wish he done it at the 2 min point.

Mark Jones should know better he has done enough iowa games over the last 20 years.

Agreed. Penalties are literally the difference in the game right now.

Yes they are but so is Iowa's DL. They are all over MSU's QB and created a hold of holding calls. There were 2 clear ones on AJ and AN that were not called.

This announcer obviously didn’t watch Iowa’s punt return against Wisconsin. Seems surprised to see Iowa not use timeouts and force a punt. Seems like a smart move to let it go to half. Would most teams not do this? Unless you’ve got the top returner in the country it would seem the risk/reward factor of a muffed punt vs a big return isn’t worth the risk.

Excuse my ignorance but I must have missed something. Looks like Ojemuda and Hankins are playing instead of Moss and Brent's. Why?

Still think she's kinda basic.

Man that holding call on Nelson was huge... That might end up being the difference in the game

My God the good Stanley is playing!!!

They are because they are healthy, older and better...

 

[dahlhawk]

This Qb is not very accurate. Iowa will pressure him more if they don’t establish the run. Iowa will get two int’s in the second half.

DON'T LET UP!!! DON'T LET UP!!! DON'T LET UP!!! DON'T LET UP!!!

Kirk agreed with ya.

for ****s sake...is there ANYBODY on our sidelines that understands clock management. thank god we got bailed out

 

[uihawk82]

Yes you can there is no reason to be agressive there

Totally agree.

In many ways we are lucky to be ahead so run out the clock and get the 2nd half kickoff.

Football games are so situational and you have to know the flow. very low % of time Iowa goes 80 yards or even 60 yards in 1:20 to get a score before halftime.

The announcers mentioned that the hawks have lost two straight Outback Bowls. They jinxed MSU
