Is anyone else bothered by the lack of the Iowa band in that B1G commercial???

The hawks played gutty, got beat bad on one td and not giving up much running yardage put the big pass plays.

Really needed that score at the end and Nate and offense are playing decent

Less than 50% completion against a horrible Purdue pass defense is hardly decent.

I believe Iowa is not really making it that difficult to get the ball to him. 4 / 5 second drag routes are too easy for even 7 yard gains. Iowa Safeties look bad - because the QB has wayyyyyy toooooo much time!

Well Moore has 5 catches for 29 yards

One could almost consider that keeping him contained, perhaps

But what do I know

 

[Northside Hawk]

Iowa is definitely taking the momentum in this one. They should be up 17-14 since there was obvious offensive PI on the last purdont TD. Iowa gets the ball to start the second half, and will go on a nice long TD drive to take the lead for good. Iowa is clearly the better team, purdont has simply benefited from some poor officiating thus far. Also on the play prior to one of the other TDs, what looked to be a completion and fumble was called incomplete, and it should have been reviewed and overturned.

Clinton, I know you're a big Hawk fan and all, but that incomplete pass on the opening drive was correctly called. That was not close to a fumble.

There are levels. Getting within 4 helped.

Chasing points always comes back to bite a team. Now if they score a FG, we’re only down 7 instead of potentially 8.

Am I missing anything in this thread?

 

[DDThompson]

You seem a little upset today.

Today?

 

[Ben Rumson]

Damn ! Dorthy!

 

[mopkins]

That would give us three great tight ends.

Nice return Hawks.

 

[bphawkeye]

It’s amazing how good our pass rush looks against th pu$$ies of college football.

I would not call PU the pussies - but straight up rushing 4 with no one else near the line of scrimmage within 7 yards every play seems not right. Hopefully Parker sees what the world sees.

 

[Complex13]

Is this your attempt to stiffen up the Iowa D? This just might work, by gawd!

 

[Garandx]

ISM so close to busting one.

I do get a bit overboard at times. Guess I care too much

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Hot damn.

 

[SheagleHawk]

ISM is a weapon back there. Why doesn't that translate well to him at WR?

 

[mopkins]

Wtf was that play

 

[archiehawk]

Even I saw that blitz coming. Stanley didnt

Hands. Easier to catch a punt than a pass.
