Official Iowa v Ohio State Game Thread

huge cushion there on 3rd and 2. king was at least 10 yards off.

Now you know why.

 

[TChawk]

And Iowas major weakness just reared it's ugly head.

Who needs redzone scoring when there is no pass rush and the DB's can't cover?

 

[Herkyalert]

And that is why a TD was needed not a FG.

The bubble screen call was a drive killer. That play rarely works.

If only our secondary wasn't horrible...

 

[gohawkz]

Nice job threading that pass in between coverage.

 

[MeatMan]

Lowery has regressed and is having a terrible SR season.

None of Iowa's CB's are worth a damn.

are you sure that was BJ's guy? if it was cover 1, it is the safety who should be there. i didn't get a good look at the replay.

 

[docholihawk]

Nice to see the Iowa defensive backs within 20-25 yards of the receiver on that play.

And just like that the Secondary is schooled.. Ugh!!

Redzone Defense.. Oh wait..

Statistic still in tact. Oh my.

 

[jacknicholson]

We are tied with the number four team in the nation in the second quarter. Most of us probably thought we would be behind by three TDs.......

 

[Herkyalert]

Phil Parker is coaching the CB's and doing a poor job. They are out of position a lot.

 

[bcl20]

That time up to the ejection was a lot of fun.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

if we allow plays like that we will get beat my 2-3 touchdowns

Wait...almost every post I saw this week said it would be at least 2-3 TD loss. Has something changed?

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Safety so shallow, who knows who had responsibility. Could be CB, could be safety. Could be both.

 

[tm3308]

was that Lowdermilk's responsibility? he was on the other dude with Lowrey. someone F'd up.

I'm not sure. It looked like Lowdermilk was coming from the other side of the field, and Miller was closer to the line of scrimmage. I don't know if that was by design or if Miller got sucked up by the play action.

Edit: Sure as hell looks like it was Miller's responsibility. There wasn't anyone covering that deep third, and there's no way we were running a cover 2 with a safety and corner taking the deep halves.

 

[I0WA]

I forgot how bad the secondary is, I tried to forget that travesty 2 weeks ago

 

[MeatMan]

well, no need to panic. O gets the ball back and time to keep punching them in the mouth. wear 'em down Hawks!

 

[bcl20]

We are tied with the number four team in the nation in the second quarter. Most of us probably thought we would be behind by three TDs.......

We just allowed a touchdown on awful coverage when the secondary has been the main weakness for this team...

 

[MeatMan]

nice little return there.

 

[Herkyalert]

Time for Iowa to counter punch.
