How football's Air Raid offense was revolutionized in Iowa

"Hal Mumme, former coach of Iowa Wesleyan College, needed an offense to help his team win. He and then-assistant Mike Leach created the "air raid" offense based on another's team's two-minute drill. The offense quickly spread across the nation."

Let's go Hawks!

Seriously, starting a game thread the day before now?!?! You must be paranoid of someone beating you to the punch.

Let's try to keep the ref whining to a minimum this year.

Cut him some slack. He's undefeated this season.

It's tk's gig, man. I did manage to sneak a basketball game thread in on him one time but I felt bad about it.

My 5th grader plays football on Saturdays, and we finally have a 9AM game, at home, when the Hawks play in the afternoon. The stars are aligned folks and I feel good.

@tksirius , you gotta vote in your own poll brotha.

By any chance did you see the Cubs game today? Those umps sucked big time!!!

This is not something new. TK has got a win streak going! That trumps all!

 

[Motigerhawk]

Cant wait.
I voted 0. Just because of KFs history of not getting any QBs real snaps despite the score.

This is a great test for our DBs after last weeks showing. That could not have played out better.

My daughters run their XC meet this morning. They run at 9:30. And are about an hour away. I may even get to grocery shop on the way home. Lucky me.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

Aren't they called Game Day threads, not the Day Before game day threads? TK might as well start the Penn St one tomorrow

 

[Hawk10k]

I didn't see a prediction thread and it's too late to start one now so I'm gonna post it here.
41-18 Hawkeyes
Wiegers plays most of the 4th.

 

[judzeehawk]

38-10 Hawks!

 

[mopkins]

I voted zero just because I don't think Iowa destroys north Texas. I think they win handily but if it's within 3 possessions I think KF leaves a lot of starters in until later

 

[IndianaHawk]

A backup quarterback at Iowa getting snaps?

 

[NEIChawk]

Let's get after it boys...Hawks 28, Mean Green 10, Weigers? Hmm, not sure, I picked 5 passes, but KF won't let him

 

[hawkeyes87]

Zero passes is clearly the best answer- too many KF tendencies to overcome to say more:

==> takes the foot off the gas before any lead gets too big
==> subs don't get many minutes until lead gets big (barring injury/gassed)
==> backup qb playing means big lead so play ultra-conservative with no passes

48-17 Hawks
