!*****Official 'The Hawkeyes Stop The Air Raiding Green Birds.' Game Thread*****!

[Garandx]

Welp...not sure what I just watched, but it wasn't pleasant.

A shit show of undisciplined play, bad officiating and terrible defense

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

At least when we lose to N Texas we can feel good that Nebby lost to N Illinois I guess

Your sarcasm font isn't working.

 

[HawkGold]

The referee complaining stinks. Iowa is down due to the system. Ya honestly think Wadley needed to be sat after the penalty so he didn't do it again?

Iowa can certainly take advantage of loading the box before 3rd down?
The D is giving the QB all day.

That's why we are down.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

look, we need to throw the ball. ntsu has our (3) run plays scouted. We need to sit AW and see what IKM has to offer. our running plays need to be draws and screens. I know, a screen is a pass, but that's how we need to get our rb's touches. Then, we can open up 1st down run game.

he went to locker room early. he could be dinged.

 

[HawkGold]

If Iowa is lucky. Big ten defenses will eat this weak offense in two minutes. Stanley will get hurt.

Why would they want Stanley hurt? What will happen is the RB's diving into a middle wall will get hurt. That's what will happen.

 

[OkstHawk]

Refs are bad, but they're not the reason we're behind at half.

Thanks you. The refs aren't playing on offense for NT or on offense/defense for us. I thought NT was undersized on the DL? Look pretty good so far against our group of flunkies

 

[vork22]

Dude! We can't get a rhythm because there is a flag every possession. Not to mention they negated a TD and basically gift wrapped one for them on the last drive before half. Absolute BS.

It should be 40-14. Wisconsin would be there. Not Iowa though.

 

[HawkGold]

He was sat....and he hurt his ankle or at least it needed retaped. Nice call.

 

[NCHawker]

Stanley continues to show that he can't beat UNT. If Iowa wins, He'll need to hit those deep routes. They are there. .... free points...and he can't cash in

 

[ArvadaHawk]

These refs have been miserable. The roughing the passer call was garbage and the late hit out of bounds the receiver didn't even get hit

they were marginal calls, i agree. but i think they were "technically" correct. like i said, you get the impressive none of these refs ever strapped on a helmet, but they read the hell out of the rule book. you could argue that AJ was already going down, being engaged with the LT and "happened" to be at the qb's legs and made the tackle. but that is a play on, to me, though technically correct. Manny was trying to catch up to the ball and momentum took him into the receiver who was going to wind up in the kicking net anyway. Manny ran into the wr out of bounds, technically a foul, but another play on in the real world.

 

[theboat]

This doesn't bode well for the Wyoming QB's future. Was he just not that good? Because this defense is trrrible

 

[Motigerhawk]

This is stupid. Are we this bad? That cant be true.
If we are this bad, we will be lucky to win 4.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

All according to the typical Ferentz script ... beat N Tx 17-14. Lose all hope and dread PSU dropping 50 and physically abusing Hawks ... Iowa shocks CFB beating PSU 24-23 on last second field goal, catapulting Racinos to instant Legend.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

He was sat....and he hurt his ankle or at least it needed retaped. Nice call.

sure, he was sat. but was it because of being dinged or kirk throwning a tantrum. hey, i'm no kirk defender by a longshot. but i'm just not convinced AW was sat for that penalty. in my mind, this was a JB feature game anyway. perhaps that was part of it also. neither of us know for sure.

 

[mopkins]

Uh...Wisconsin was tied 10-10 at half vs fucking Utah state. Down 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Let's not act like Wisconsin is Alabama

 

[HawkGold]

If Iowa is the 2nd Best in the West and are going to beat OSU,....SMU must be number 1.

 

[HawkGold]

Yes, you are right, but I caution against using your mind in figuring out a Ferentz.

 

[Motigerhawk]

If we lose, Nebraska will be forgotten. We will be the joke of the week.

How is that technically correct? The qb still had the ball.
